Unfortunately, I dont have any Squigs. You can be sure that I'd include then if I did! But in over a decade of playing this game, I have never once come across what I've considered a "good deal" for little balls of pewter with a face mashed into them. I am in no way going to pay $25 for three Squigs and two Night Goblins. I'd have to spend over $250 for just one unit of 30 Squigs. That's not worth it in my mind.

I've been waiting and watching for a model company to develop a good proxy option, but I haven't seen anything close to good. I've even considered learning how to use 3D software, like Freeform, to design and print my own models.

My armies: Empire, Dwarfs, High Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Skaven, Tomb Kings, Ogre Kingdoms, Orcs and Goblins, and Skitarii (40K).

Yes they are one of those wtf really? units with regards to the cost. They are also so basic if I couldn't pick them up off ebay for a reasonable price (and didn't already have them) I would probably just grab some knock offs.

Rules wise they seem pretty cool

We tried him twice and he's less useful than a snotling champion.

What's the use of the big man? Has he ever killed anything? Was he ever not shot down round one?
