Kwaak Slickspine & Gub, Croak Sorcerers

The conjoined brothers Kwaak Slickspine and Gub were born with the gift of sorcery. This unusual pair fights on behalf of the croak tribes allied to the Blindwater Congregation, hoping to one day secure a permanent home for their people. The uniting of their bodies and souls allows them to output a blistering storm of magic, which they use to destroy any foe the Blindwater Congregation has marked for death.

• Template:Disciples of Agony (Skorne)
• Template:Oracles of Annihilation (Legion) In this theme, this Minion becomes a Blighted model. Also, enemy models that end their activation within 2" of this model suffer continuous corrosion.

As a minion solo, they can also be taken in a bunch of other Faction's themes as their single allowed minion unit. Refer to #Other Theme Forces.

Thoughts on Kwaak & Gub

Kwaak & Gub in a nutshell

Kwaak and Gub are a powerful and effective spellcaster with four spells and the ability to cast two in a turn. All of their spells are situationally useful, and mean they will have something to do every turn.

• Enliven helps keep heavies safe by walking them away from a charge, taking only a single free strike. Worth its cost alone.
• Heal is occasionally useful, especially if a warbeast gets an aspect shot out
• Corrosion sprays can shred single wound infantry units
• Mud Foot is incredibly powerful, especially against slow units. It means that spd 6 units with 2" melee will only threaten 8" if they charge. The short range means Kwaak will often die as a result, but this spell can shut down an assassination run very quickly.

Combos & Synergies

• Jaga-Jaga, the Death Charmer has Signs & Portents - making hitting easier.
• "Rask and Friends" consists mainly of 8 point solos and warbeasts and as such they appreciate heals, enliven and infantry clearing equally as well as a contesting solo while the lessers clean up house.
  • Enliven and Countercharge on Lug make for some unpredictable movement options during the opponent turn.
• Gatormen Posse adding healing to a brick unit makes them brick-ier.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• They have no defensive tech, low DEF, and are squishy
• Mud Foot doesn't stop flying or ghostly

Tricks & Tips

• Keep them back to keep them safe unless you have good reason.
• Put Enliven on your heavy warbeast, and it'll probably survive a single charge attack + a single free strike (that the Enliven move triggers). Then on your turn you can cast Heal on it twice (if needed, the only damage boxes to truly matter are the last in each spiral) and then go to town on the enemy.
• Models affected by Mud Foot can still gain pathfinder back. If you are going to put Kwaak somewhere risky just to cast a Mud Foot, be sure they don't have Rhupert or Saxon Orrik hanging around to negate it.
