The Snakebites are happy to sell these monstrosities to the other Clans, but keep the details of their creation a closely-guarded secret. Whilst the Snakebite Clan will use Squiggoths for any type of labour too heavy for a gang of hard-working Orks, those sold to other Clans are invariably used as weapons of war. Once fitted with custom-made armour plates, a howdah to transport the most crazed Orks into battle, and as many heavy-calibre weapons as the creature can carry, a Squiggoth becomes the biological equivalent of a tank.
With a foul temperament and a crew of trigger-happy Orks, a Squiggoth is more than capable of breaking through the most heavily-defended enemy battleline. The largest Squiggoths are known as Orkeosaurs, and are terrifying enemies to face in battle. It will also cost its owner a fortune in teeth, the commodity which Orks use as currency.
Question 2: Speaking of Squiggoths! I have the 8th edition ork codex, but when i looked through the codex, i was surprised to see that there werent any Squiggoths?
Yet from dawn of war 1, which i understand is from an earlier codex, there were squiggoths. But Squiggoths are still sold on the Forge world webpage. Does that mean units from Forge world webpage cant be used? But its a shame if i cant use it, because the Squiggoth is by far the coolest ork unit ever. And i understand other units can do what it does better, im not so much interested in whether its efficient, im interested in knowing if im legally allowed to use it in a tournement.
Hope, is the first step on the road to disappointment. Units from forgeworld have their own rules that are sold by forgeworld. So the squiggoth should have rules in a forgeworld book but they're a bit muddled by the virus going round shutting down GW 's stuff.
You can use forgeworld in any game you like though. Forgeworld is the boutique end of the company and works from the very same factory site in Nottingham. Forgeworld models are only sold through forgeworld, they don't distribute to 3rd parties nor GW stores.
Otherwise no retailer will carry them really good local game stores might order them in for you, but there's basically no profit for them since FW doesn't sell to retail - only direct off their website. Forgeworld models have their own rules, however at present they are under review for 40K and new books should be coming out at any point - though the Corona 19 outbreak and shutdown of GW at present has clearly caused delays there.
The old rules were sold in 4 Imperial Armour volumes - each one detailing a different block of units and races. Note in the past FW models were considered "With opponents permission" and were typically not accepted at tournaments.
This was way back when FW was the only place to get things bigger than a dreadnought. When huge models were only practical in resin. That coupled to super-heavies back then being basically untouchable except by specific counter units - made a good portion of FW 's larger and more famous models very broken in the game. Today its different and its more generally accepted.
Shifts in the games structure and balance; GW Main body now doing superheavies and also the opening up of online ordering to being a more regular and normal thing.
Even the FW prices are closer to GW ones now for the bigger models. Note that just like the main studio things do go in and out of production at FW. Some things leave and some return all the time. So you might find some models that are referenced that are no longer sold. Sometimes you can pick them up secondhand, but be cautious as there are a lot of illegal recastings of FW stuff out there.
The rules for the Squiggoth are in Forge World's book seroes which covers forge world minis called Imperial Armour. Specifically, Index Imperial Armour Xenos, though another Imperial Armour series may come in the future to update the rules as usual. Rumor has it some time this summer, if the world isn't Mad Max by then. The Squiggoth is a fine model as well, so good choice! There are two versions; the 'little' Squiggoth about the size of a Battlewagon never showed up in Dawn of War 1.
The Gargantuan Squiggoth, which is positively mammoth easily as big or bigger than a Baneblade was the Ork relic unit from DoW1. Florence, KY. Since the release of the Forge World indexes a couple of years ago, Warhammer 40, has changed a lot. While the indexes were a great reference resource, we want to give you something even better — which is why the Warhammer 40, studio embarked on a project to bring you a series of all-new books with updated rules for these units and armies.
To make room for these new, mysterious books, the Forge World indexes will be disappearing, though the rules will remain in use until the new books arrive. It would seem that stupidity is as eternal as war. The dark hollows of Kentucky.

Squiggoths are most commonly used by pre-industrial Feral Orks , but can be found among their more technologically advanced spacefaring counterparts as well.
However, this variety of Squig is just as capable as a weapon, and can sow devastation in its wake as it transports Ork Boyz and their weapons across the battlefield. The Magos Biologis of the Adeptus Mechanicus have identified Squiggoths as fungal lifeforms, though they are fairly rare and can only be grown to their largest size by the specialist breeder Pigdokz of the Snakebites klan.
The size of the Squiggoth is determined by the effectiveness of the feed-formula the breeder gives his creature. A Squiggoth's size ranges from that of a Leman Russ tank to that of a small Titan , although generally they are somewhere between these two extremes of size. Squiggoths are reptilian in nature and resemble Terran dinosaurs, although there have also been reports of mammoth-like Squiggoths adapted to cold climates that possess heavy fur and tusks. Squiggoths used for combat will have armoured barding placed around the creature's neck and head, along with a small armoured howdah or even a fort on the largest Squiggoths built on the creature's back.
The pinnacle of the Runtherd 's art, the Squiggoth is the largest and most aggressive of all the Squigs. Bred primarily by the Snakebites and sold to any warband or tribe who can afford them, Squiggoths are massive, reptilian quadrupeds with a mouth full of wicked teeth and an incredibly savage demeanour. Each Runtherd has his own special recipe of Squiggoth feed, and these recipes are constantly modified and tinkered with to eke out the maximum amount of growth possible.
The smallest Squiggoths, although still huge and very dangerous, are the product of inferior, low-quality feed mixes, and are considered runts among their larger cousins. Large Squiggoths are the result of carefully crafted diets supplemented by any Orks who stray too near their mouths.
The largest of all, the legendary and vanishingly rare Gargantuan Squiggoths bred in the pits of the Snakebites, gain their size and strength from the very best and most potent feeds available to their Ork caretakers.
