While i was looking through my ork codex, and after reading the fluff about snotlings, i wondered Why dont they have snotling swarms, they have them in WHFB.

So this is how i think the rules should be like

WS BS S T W I LD SV
2 2 2 2 3 2 5 -

Swarm


I know this looks very simple but please suggest a pts value and any extra rules

BS should be 0 as snotlings shouldn't know how to operate weapons.

Other than that, they are so weak and such a low toughness that they need some kind of special rule.

Tiny Swarm: they are so small and quick that in CC they have a dodge Inv save?

Grots are already 3 pts each so I can't imagine a use or points cost for these.

Snotlings take up no FOC slot, you can have one unit for every HQ your army contains.

Unit Points Cost: 30
Unit composition: 20 snottlings
Special Rules: Swarm, Slow and purposefull, Tiny Target

Tiny Target:
Any model rolling to hit the snottlings (includes both ranged and close combat attacks) recieves a +1 modifier to the dice result which they need to hit the snottlings.

Stat Line:

This the sort of thing you wanted?

Sounds legit. Just take off "slow and purposeful" or change it for "relentless"

Well i like the rules for them, but in my mind you should keep the slow and purposeful rule to represent them dwaddling about.

Indeed, that was the idea for SLow and purposeful

disregard my original post, I suck

Because they are a swarm they need more wounds and attacks than what i'm seeing. Because they are a swarm they are already different in function from gretchin.
