Ld 4
Sv 6+
Wargear: Teeth(Close combat weapon)
"Happy Spores": Any Ork model within 8 inches of a Spore Squig has +1 attack and +1 Leadership. This can affect other Spore Squig this affect does not stack. (a.k.a. You can't have 2 Spore Squigs next to a boy who then gets +2 attacks and +2 Leadership.)
"Horror Clouds" any non-Ork unit or Ork unit that is not a part of your army within 8 inches of the Spore Squig suffer -1 Initiative and -1 Strength to a minimum of 1. The affect does not stack. (see above for explanation).
Cloud of Spores: The Spore Squig is always treated as having a 5+ cover save. However, because the Spore Suig is filled with flammable spores, flamer weapons (burnas, flamers, anything that attacks with fire) has +1 Strength when rolling to Wound.
Whaddya fink ladz?

Sounds legit hahaha

How about the gestation squig -

The squig has been bred to spread fast growing orc spores, swiftly adding to the power of any waagh even during the midst of battle.

Nob upgrade in boys squad
- units can recover d3 models per shooting phase, even taking the unit past its original starting strength.
- squig must pass its own Ld test in order for this to take effect. (Ld 4 or 5 maybe?)

I'll leave the points and stats to those that know better!

Hmmm... Interesting concept, I'll think about it, but for now...

Anyone care about this? I'm not gonna wright rules if no one cares.

Well, I'm updating Orks to 6e with some nice things - including squigs (mostly for the Snakebitez) - Once I settle on how they're going to be represented and how they're going to fit in with the rest of the dex, I might come contact you for your expertise in such matters.

Wow! Really? So should i resume it?

soooooooo... no i'm guessing?

Pants Squig,
Gives your Orks Pants.... cause well... it makes them decent... no longer nekkid

Free upgrade.

Excellent, but instead of free, it is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 points.
