The new squigs for the Gloomspite Gitz have tempted me into doing a 'Squigalanche' list. The lists went together fairly easily for me, its just the finer points (command traits, spells, artifacts, etc.) that I really need help on.

I've decide to go for the Madcap Shaman instead of the Fungoid Cave-Shaman just because I like the Zarbag model (which I'll be proxying as a Madcap Shaman) better. The Fungoid Cave-Shaman does have a squig on its base though...

While Ravenak's Gnashing Jaws isn't one of the top endless spells, I've included it because if you squint it (kinda) looks like a squig. For my Moonchomperz, they see it as an incarnation of Boingob, the godbeast father of all squigs who was burnt to a crisp when he tried to devour Hyish.

Any comments are welcome and appreciated.

I'd swap the madcap shaman for a fungoid cave shaman at least rules wise personally. For 10 more points hes far more survivable (4+fnp), can guarantee the 2nd spell at no extra difficulty to cast or take wounds from doing so, and can generate extra command points each turn. Even with the madcap unique spell it just means the opponent will just target other units more heavily.

Okay how does the following look for 2,000 points? And any suggestions on command traits, spells and artefacts?
