Games Workshop Pre-Orders: Gloomspite Gitz – Gitmob Weekend
The Gloomspite Gitz have a new battletome and the Gitmob has arrived in full force! Get your Games Workshop pre-orders for Age of Simgar!
If you’re a fan of the gitz and wolves then this weekend is for you. The Gitmob has arrived to pre-orders and they are ready to ride down the sun. Or at least cause a lot of destruction along the way. This feels like a nostalgic release because it’s a return to this classic pairing of goblins and wolves — now dubbed Gitz and Snarlfangs. However you slice it, these new sculpts do bring a lot of character back to the Gloomspite army and take it in another direction.

Destruction Battletome: Gloomspite Gitz $60
The Gloomspite Gitz are a motley collection of grots, squigs, and troggoths – all eager to wreak havoc. Should they have their way, the Mortal Realms would be plunged into eternal dankness – a musty fungal twilight without end. When their lunar deity appears in the skies, they emerge from their holes upon giant arachnids, cunning lupines, and all manner of squiggly beasts to form an unstoppable horde.

Doom Diver Catapults could only be created by the Gloomspite Gitz – no one else would strap bombs and spiked helmets to their heads and launch themselves into battle via catapult, let alone expect to have a chance of surviving the ordeal. Of course, this is rarely the case, but the carnage they cause upon ‘landing’ is so fantastic that there are always more who prefer taking the risk to displeasing the boss.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Doom Diver Catapult, a gleefully savage piece of artillery for your Gloomspite Gitz armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. These truly bizarre creations fling live grots into the air, who then plummet down into enemy units in the hopes of wreaking destruction where they fall – they’re ideal for adding some heavy firepower to your Gitmob.
The catapult can be built with the doom diver in the process of being launched, or stood waiting for the contraption to fire. Each of the crew comes with a choice of two heads, and the doom diver has a choice of three bomb-topped hats, making it easy to customise your artillery.
This kit comprises 64 plastic components and 1x Citadel 170mm by 109mm Oval Base. This miniature requires assembly and is supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Sunsteala Wheelas are favoured by the Gitmobs – built with lightweight wicker frames, allowing them to close down on the foe quickly and hit hard before deftly weaving out of combat. Their drivers favour stikkas and bows, weapons perfect for sneaky strikes from a reasonably safe distance.
This multipart plastic kit builds two Sunsteala Wheelas, light chariots pulled by ravening Snarlfangs, for your Gloomspite Gitz armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Armed with scything blades, and crewed by wicked grots armed with spears and bows, they’re ready to careen wildly across the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, striking where your opponent is most vulnerable. They’re able to keep up with your packs of Snarlfangs, and are ideal for adding extra hitting power to the lighter cavalry.
These miniatures have numerous options, making them easy to customise. The chariots can be assembled with your choice of two different harnesses, and can further be personalised with different wheels and carriage decorations. Chariot drivers have a choice of heads, and can be built with a whip or a sword, while the other crew can be armed with your choice of wicked blade, spear, or bow. The banner pole has a choice of two different tops, and there are even more accessories to add to your chariots.
This kit comprises 146 plastic components and 2x Citadel 105mm by 70mm Oval Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Snarlpack Cavalry make use of giant Snarlfangs – particularly large and impressive specimens of their kind. They’re so big that a pair of grots can ride each one into battle. Riders guard their mount’s flanks with jabs from their ‘skewas’, freeing up the Snarlfang to tear into enemies directly in front with their teeth and claws.
This multipart plastic kit builds three Snarlpack Cavalry, a fast and deadly unit for your Gloomspite Gitz armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The unit opens up lots of tactical options for a canny Snarlboss – their speed means they can arrive where your enemy least expects it, and they’re more than happy to feast on small objective-holding units or wounded enemies.
This kit comprises 61 plastic components and 3x Citadel 75mm by 42mm Oval Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
A Snarlboss in the back of a War-Wheela is able to concentrate on bashing the heads of the enemy rather than steering. Though all Gitmob chariots are capable of inflicting horrendous damage on the charge, those of a Snarlboss do so in style – their paths of destruction marked by scorchmarks left by the flames that jet from jars fitted to the back of their ride.
This multipart plastic kit builds a heavy War-Wheela chariot for your Gloomspite Gitz armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. It can be ridden by a Snarlboss – who’s ideal for leading the charge and inspiring the rest of your gitz – or a Frazzlegit Shaman, who’s able to fling fiery conjurations. The Snarlboss has a choice of two heads and banner toppers, and the Shaman can be built with one of two different magic sticks. This chariot, and its pair of large Snarlfangs, provides superb hitting power to any Gitmob.
This kit comprises 80 plastic components and 1x Citadel 120mm by 92mm Oval Base. This miniature requires assembly and is supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Snarlboss and Wolfgit Retinue $42
Snarlbosses lead the Gitmobs from the backs of ravenous Snarlfangs. Those lucky grots of a Snarlboss’s retinue are often hand-picked from the least cowardly of the pack. These canny and adaptable fighters are a cut above the rest of their wofl-riding kin, staying close to their leader and fending off attackers with stikkas and bows.
This multipart plastic kit builds a cunning Snarlboss and two of his most ‘trusted’ warriors riding Snarlfangs for Gloomspite Gitz armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Their speed, sneakiness, and savagery are ideal to support any Gitmob charge.
This kit comprises 25 plastic components, including 3 scenic bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue, and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
Droggz da Sunchompa, the most feared and famed leader of the Gitmobs, speeds into battle upon his wily mount, Jaggedsnarl. Wreathed by an eye-searing corona of stolen Hyshian light, Droggz is nigh impossible to target as he smashes into his foes, his meteoric war-pick cracking skulls left and right.
This multipart plastic kit builds Droggz da Sunchompa atop his loyal mount – a fitting leader for your Gloompsite Gitz armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Unlike many gitz, he likes to get stuck in, well protected by heavy armour, and using his mystical light-harnessing powers to augment the sheer brutality of his warpick. This hard-hitting juggernaut is ideal for leading the charge of your aggressive Gitmobs. You can build this miniature with your choice of helmet or bare head.
This kit comprises 27 plastic components and 1x Citadel 60mm Round Base. This miniature requires assembly and is supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
The Gloomspite Gitz go to war under the light of the Bad Moon, their deity in the shape of a massive glowing rock in the sky. Under it’s wan light, they are taken by a madness that carries them across the Mortal Realms in a riot of destruction.
This is a set of 16 round-cornered six-sided dice for use in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, themed around the Gloomspite Gitz. They are cast in yellow acrylic plastic with black ink pips and designs, and measure 16mm along each edge. The 1-5 facings are traditionally pipped and each ‘6’ face is decorated with the fungus-covered Bad Moon icon of the Gloomspite Gitz.
