Grindel Stronghold Squat Army List

Steadfast and dauntless to the very end, the Grindel Stronghold was the last bastion of the Homeworlds to fall to the abomination that was Hive Fleet Onachus.

Forces

The Grindel Stronghold Squat Army List uses the datasheets from the Squat Forces section.

Using The Army List

Grindel Stronghold Squat formations come in three types: brotherhoods, support formations and war engines. Each brotherhood you include in the army allows you to field two support formations. Although you can only take a support formation if you first take a brotherhood, they are treated as separate independent formations during a battle and do not have to move around together. You can take any number of war engine formations so long as no more than one third of the points available is spent on them. Finally, Squat Individuals are special characters which may only be taken once by the army. The rules for using each individual are listed in the Notes column.

The army list includes the following information:

Type: The name of the formation.
Core Units: The units that make up the formation. The core units of a formation may be doubled or tripled. A formation with the normal number of core units is called a small (S) formation, a formation with double the number of core units is called a medium (M) formation, and a formation with triple the number of core units is called a large (L) formation.
Cost: The point costs of a formation are listed under S, M and L (the costs for a small, medium or large formation, respectively).
Upgrades: A formation may add any of the units noted here for their listed cost. If there is a limit on the number of units that may be added or replaced then this limit is doubled for medium formations and tripled for large formations.; All of a formation’s core and upgrade units count as being part of one formation. The different units may not activate on their own.

Iron-willed

All formations except for Guild Robot Squadrons receive a +1 modifier to their Rally tests.

Squat Transports

If a Squat Brotherhood takes Rhino upgrades it must be the minimum number required to transport the entire formation after all other upgrades have been added. The same holds true for Termite and Mole upgrades. While Termites and Moles may be taken together, Rhinos may not be taken with Termites and Moles.

Grindel Stronghold Squat Army Epic Tournament Special Rules

Guild Robot Squadron: Units in Guild Robot Squadron formations may not capture objectives.
Moles: In tournament games, Moles may only transport units from their own formation (the rules in Transport War Engines do not apply to them).

Spotter

A Spotter allows Directed weapons (see Directed) on units in their formation to fire at enemy units that it has a line of fire to.
