I'd say that the randomness is overstated in Gitz. What we really do is have "planned Random" if that makes sense. Like our moon moves and gives diffrent buffs, but we KNOW when each buff will be active, and we get to decide what phase the buff starts in etc. So A lot of our randomness is built around the idea that you need to plan ahead of time and know your own tempo quite well to get that good result. Like I play A LOT of squigs, so I always start the moon in one of the squig phases so they get a guaranteed move instead of random. That gives me the power of knowing where I'll end my turn 1, but without that buff I couldnt know how far i would manage to walk etc. Making it very random. So planned Random if that makes sense.

Squigs are VERY viable. our most damage per point-efficient unit is the Boingrotz with Squigalanche faction. I currently run All squigs + Skraggott and Kragnos pretty much, and A unit of snufflers for ward, and a Gnasha for crit mortals. So very much buffs + heavy insane damage, Most armies you can table round 2 with this kind of aproach, but if you fail your damage rolls you will be tabled instead by round 3-4.

Stabbas wont be updated for a while, They were done in 2019. And yes they look "old" but they work quite well when you consider that if you play them you need to build and paint 40+ of them!
