Gloomspite Gitz: The Bad Moon

February 2023·p. 45

THE SHORT VERSION

Optional rules let a Gloomspite warband chase the Bad Moon and determine which of six faces dominates a battle. The results alter abilities, movement, reserves or damage, with effects especially significant for grots. A multiplayer procedure permits different faces over successive rounds, turning the fickle god into a changing shared battlefield condition.

The Great Stomp — Part 4

This instalment adds Warcry to the Great Stomp’s achievement-and-territory campaign. A warband can accompany an Age of Sigmar army of the same Grand Alliance or use the system independently, earning points to seize or pillage locations. Territories receive distinct skirmish effects, from reserve disruption and healing to movement and protection, and only two apply per battle. Guidance integrates the extra layer with ordinary reputation, glory and aftermath bookkeeping.

Da Killin’ Moon

Gloomspite tribes converge on the Gnarlwood, drawn by the Stinkhorn mushroom and Ravening Ruin. Some interpret the fallen Seraphon ship as a rival moon struck down by their deity; others seek treasures or want to corrupt Realmshaper Engines into spreading the Everdank. The background connects grot superstition, expansion and the Bad Moon’s appearances to the quests that follow.

Gloomspite Gitz Quests

Tricksy Shinies rewards opportunistic campaign achievements with erratic artefacts such as bouncing boots, a treasure-seeking squig or a dangerous growth potion. Da Fangs of the Bad Moon sends survivors searching for enough loonstone to carve a shrine, risking injuries. Completing its battle unlocks a Loonshrine Shanty, while name, origin and leader tables help create a distinct warband.
