Me hearties, it's time to summon Ol’ Scuttlebutt!
Southern Kriels Brinebloods pygmy trolls have wrangled themselves a super heavy warbeast, and this crustacean is scuttling straight into the coasts of the Iron Kingdoms on its 80mm base.
Part lighthouse. Part crab. All pincers.
Towering above the battlefield with a glowing searchlight mounted high on its shell, Ol’ Scuttlebutt acts as a beacon for the Brinebloods’ advance, marking distant enemies and lighting the way for the rest of the crew to pile in.
Friendly forces surge forward in its wake, while incoming fire breaks against its armoured shell like waves against a cliff.
If you’re looking for a super heavy warbeast bruiser for your Brinebloods with serious table presence, this crustacean’s a shore thing.
Built like a brick shiphouse
Scuttlebutt isn’t just here to scuttle, they’re here to scuffle.
This warbeast crawls forward with the kind of resilience you’d expect from a crustacean with a pyg-manned lighthouse strapped to its back. Its thick shell-carapace shrugs off incoming gunfire, while its barnacled bulk provides cover for nearby Brineblood forces as they advance behind it.
Slow? Aye.
Easy to sink? Not even close.
If your opponent doesn’t bring Ol’ Scuttlebutt down decisively, they’ll soon have a serious shellfish problem on their hands. Its regenerative strength lets it claw back into fighting shape, ready to keep weathering fire and clawing the fight back in its favour.
Light the target. Load the cannons.
That towering searchlight isn’t just for show.
Ol’ Scuttlebutt can illuminate enemy targets, helping nearby Brinebloods charge their assault and close the distance like a blue barrage of cannonballs through a cabin door.
Once the way is lit, the Tri-Cannon opens up with barrage after barrage of heavy fire, pounding the enemy line while the rest of the crew moves in.
It’s a beacon, a bulwark, and a broadside all in one wonderfully crabby package.

Mind the claws
Of course, all that firepower is really just the polite warning for an even crueller fate than a clean, cannonball-sized chunk torn through your foe’s torso.
If any landlubber gets close enough for Ol’ Scuttlebutt’s Shipwrecker vice to clamp down, things go from bad to diced crab-food very quickly.
Its gigantic claw crushes through armour, hull, and anything else unfortunate enough to be caught in its grip.
Once ‘yer clutched, escape is off the menu.
What’re ye waiting for?
From the barnacled armour plating to the lighthouse perched above its shell, Ol’ Scuttlebutt is packed with Brineblood bad-assery.
Ol’ Scuttlebutt is ready to scuttle into your Southern Kriels Brinebloods army andmake waves.
