{{4P|Blindwater Congregation}}

''Swamp Gobbers are clever and hardy creatures who have discovered a unique mixture of fluids that combine rapidly to produce a huge volume of dense fog. The bellows crew prefers not to fight if possible, but they are willing to provide the services of their fog-making machine to obscure and conceal those who hire them.

=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}= 
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
It's a cheap maker of clouds. Do you want to block LOS? Do you want to trigger [[Prowl]] on your own models? Do you want some cheap corpses or souls? What about.. no wait, that's it, that's all they do.

===Combos & Synergies===
* Anything you own that needs clouds.
* Anything your enemy has that hates clouds.
* [[Maelok]] typically Maelok runs an infantry brick based on high armour, but additional defensive tech is useful. The Gobbers also gain +2 arm and undead which pushes them into the ‘may not die to blast damage’ zone and for one turn only they gain an extra +2 arm and Incorporeal, meaning very little can remove them from a contested objective.
* [[Boomhowler the Destroyer]] can give the unit [[Hoof It]], allowing them to move back behind their own cloud at the end of all activations
* [[Boomhowler, Solo Artist]] Reposition[3] does the same thing as Hoof It, despite being weaker.
* [[Secret Masters]] and [[Disciples of Agony]] love cheap sacrificial minions to palm shots off too.
* [[Disciples of Agony]] also gives access to the [[Paingiver Task Master]], who can give Gobbers reposition to make a proper LoS-blocking cloud.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Dies to pretty much anything.
* Doesn't fight for jack diddly.
* Pointless against Eyeless Sight and similar [[:Category: Anti-Cloud]] abilities.

===Tricks & Tips===
* At DEF 15 (17 vs shooting via the cloud) they can be infuriatingly hard to kill for their cost, so use them to block charge lanes.
* As a unit, they score in circular zones in SR2018; and for 2 points they probably are the cheapest choice for that.
