SQUIGGOTH

Squiggoths are enormous creatures which are usually hunted down by Orks for food. Feral Orks see the great beasts as more than simply food, as for them the Squiggoth also represents a means of transport. Over time they have discovered that they can harness these beasts and make mobile platforms on their backs with which to carry the tribe into battle. This has led to the Pigdoks breeding larger and larger variants of Squiggoth.

Mob: Squiggoths operate independently. They come in a variety of sub-species which differ considerably but will often be dinosaur-like in appearance.

Options: Any size Squiggoth may carry a turreted howdah containing either a twin-linked rokkit launcha at +20 pts, a twin-linked big shoota at +30pts or a lobba at +30pts.

SPECIAL RULES

The points value and statistics for a Squiggoth are solely dependent on its size. As each Squiggoth can be vastly different to the next a simple process of measuring the Squiggoth model from head to tail is used to determine its characteristics. All Squiggoths are fearless and ignore all morale and pinning tests.

Crew: All Squiggoths carry up to 3 crew who use the standard Hunta profiles.

Monstrous Creature: Due to its sheer size and brute strength, the Squiggoth is a monstrous creature. It rolls 2D6 for Armour Penetration and ignores opponents' Armour saves in close combat.

Transport: A big Squiggoth may be used to transport up to 10 Orks. A massive Squiggoth may be used to transport up to 20 Orks.

If the Squiggoth is carrying passengers then they may embark or disembark as if it were an open-topped vehicle. Similarly the passengers can fire as if they were in an open-topped vehicle. When enemy models fire back they must target the Squiggoth. Template, Blast and Ordnance weapons gain no extra bonus. If the Squiggoth is killed, it crashes to the ground and may crush the passengers in its death throes - they will take a wound on a 4+ (normal saving throws allowed).
