Welcome everyone to another episode. Whoa, right in the middle of the intro like that? Jesus. You're just going to lie to the people right as I'm trying to intro this thing? Ah, that was good. That's a good. Are you Alfarious, D.K.? I am Alfarious, but that's a lie.

Good. Continue with the intro. Am I doing the intro again, or are we leaving this in? I don't know. I can decide that. intro, dude. Fuck it. Let's leave that in.

Welcome, everyone, to another episode of the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast. I'm D.K. Diomontes, not Alfarious. And today, Brickie's going to be teaching us some weird ridiculous shit about Warhammer 40K. But before the episode gets started, if you enjoyed today's podcast, do consider going to patreon.com slash adeptus ridiculous and supporting the podcast. You get access to our Discord. Bloopers, if they happen, Alfarious.

and you get, there's a Imperial Koon comic that is going on right now that is exclusive to the Patreon, but later on will be on the website. The second batch of those comics is out, and you don't want to miss it because it's, ooh, it's spicy. Speaking of spicy things, you also get access to HD posters that are very abatastic, so go check it out. Bricky, merch, and a book club. Book club. Uh, yes, merch. Orchidate.com. Check in the description.

It does ridiculous shirts, hoodies, doge vandire stickers, orders over $75 in the U.S. free shipping. Also, book club. We are reading Soul Hunter by Aaron Dembsky Bowden. I don't know how you say his name about the story of Talus Valcoran and First Claw of the Night Lords. DK. I don't know how far you are now, but are you enjoying it still? It's so good, dude. It's, I, it might be my favorite book that we've read so far, because I'm, I'm, I'm, like,

pacing myself, because I don't want to go through it too quick. So I'll get to, like, a big moment. I'll be like, yo, I got to stop. I don't, I got to process what just happened. And I got to make sure that I am prepared for the, and it's, it's, it's great. It feels like it's a nice combo of, like, the jokey, yuck, yuck stuff from Infinite of the divine, but also a lot of serious shit from like the way Gaunt was.

I love it. I fucking love it. It's great. It's humorous because the jokey-huk stuff isn't actually jokey yuck stuff. It's more like really depressing sad night lord stuff, but then doing something slightly out of character. Or making it or cracking like a small

joke and it's like that's out of nowhere. It's not the same level of humor, but tiny bits of humor like add so much more to it. Just that a night lord is doing this is like, okay, wow. All right, great. But yeah, I love it. Good. Also, you know, when you say that you're not alfarius, you know how girls always say they're fine when they're not fine? But you have to pretend like you're fine and they just don't. Yeah, that's you pretending like you're not alfarius. I know the truth. I know you. I'm not alfarius.

Yeah, bullshit. Yeah, you're not a ferrous. Hey, hey, hey, we keep that on the down low. Don't, don't be exposing me on our podcast. There's this. plans within plans. There's layers on layers. The alpha legion symbol should just be a fucking onion. The big onion because it has layers. Just like Shrek. And it makes me cry. So, I have no idea. Yeah, go ahead. Yes. No, we're both about to see the exact same thing. We both were just like, I don't know what's going on. I'm like, you don't know what's going on. I have no clue, no idea. Like I said before, when we were talking, I was like, well, the only thing that pops up in my head as to what it could be, I was like,

maybe we'll talk about the rest of the Alpha Legion, but I can't imagine caring about the rest of the Alpha Legion besides Alferius and Omagon, because everybody else is just trying to copy both of them, so I'm like, it can't be that. So what the hell are we talking about? Yeah, they don't really have any supplementary characters, which is a little bit unfortunate, or at least not a whole lot of them, like everyone else does. We're going a little bit more chill today. We're going to have a fun time. This was Shai's recommendation, and it won't surprise you when we actually get into it.

We are going to be pulling off a squig tier list. I love the half second it took you to just process that. A squig tier list. That does seem like a shy request. A squig tier list. Okay. Are you going to have a? like a tier list maker. Oh, check discord my friend. I'm way ahead. Brought to you,

brought to you by shy. She put together this squig tier list and all the images to go with the squigs. I'm gonna need her help a little bit on what's what. Um, so hopefully she can, she can assist me with that on, because I don't know a lot of squigs look similar to other squigs, but you don't know what their purpose is as a squig. So. Oh, cool. We actually, oh, that's great. I love it. I love it.

And we'll at least start off with the first one while we're looking. Because we got this, this, this, I'm going to place this here. It's like a placeholder. Okay. We got this demonic ass-looking thing. That little ball of teeth and flesh. Is that just like a base squig? Is that just?

So that is a great cave squig. It's a, uh, quote, we have to use a, uh, we're using a, uh, we're using a, uh, we're using an excerpt from 1d4cham for most of these squigs. Oh no. The Great Cave Squig is a, they say an attack squig given steroids. It's a larger variant grown to such a large size that has become as large as largest an imperial warehouse. Whoa.

And it's the second largest, the non-squiggith family. So they make, they make a, apparently they're used as cavalry for night goblins. So is it called a Great Kamblants? cave squid because it's the size of a fucking cave? I think it actually is used to tunnel in caves. It's like a gigantic wrecking ball of cave of squigginess.

Okay, cool. Where should you put the Great Cave Squig? You know, the Great Cave Squig is kind of neat, but it lacks a lot of the meeminess of the squig. I think the Great Cave Squig would go into a solid, like a solid beats here in the mid-erum. What do you think? I was going to say, like, if not B definitely a high C

So I think B is fine I'll go with you on B yeah you know What I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with the High C with you on that one because I loved that drink growing up Yeah that's uh that's that's a that's a tasty beverage I don't remember all right I see flavors I drank but that was Next up we have the The ball this is a bomb squig actually

I was gonna say that looks like a squig that they attach bombs to the head And then you it would just run at people and it would just collide with someone and This is a bomb squig. A bomb squig literally does exactly that. It runs at the opponent with mines and explosives, and it fucking blows up. Let's go. That's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, it's a, it's serving his purpose.

He is serving it well. He is serving it well. His, his, his importance. He runs at something and he just fucking explodes and he dies with it. You, do you know, there's actually, um, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, um, um, some, um, some, abilities in the in the codex Where like the bomb squig is you can put them inside of a unit and it can just run up into like underneath A vehicle and then just explodes and like the tank gets flipped over or something. It's great

Is that I'm assuming could you use that in the tabletop? Is there a bomb squig? Oh shit. I mean you lose the unit But well if you use it like a little A little marker you put next to a squad of orcs and then you can just send it at the enemy to blows up Bombs are awesome I'm putting the bomb squig in A Yeah I like the bomb squig I was gonna say that's good

The bomb squig is gonna be a very very high tier If not S has to be A All right This little man right here This is a boom squig I don't know if shy Can put these two images together But the boom squig looks like

Vahek from Warframe It looks like Vahex Oh my god It looks so funny It does look really fun So boom squig you said, right? Boom squig. They are fired out of heavy squig launches or squig launches.

They're sometimes known as mine squigs because they look like mines because they're so flat. I don't think you have. Here's another image of the boom squig. He's a little flat boy. He looks like a little pancake squig. He has a little pancake squig, isn't he? They have a defense mechanism where they violently explode at the slightest provocation, sometimes physical contact or a loud noise, or apparently sometimes they have indigestion

and they just fucking explode. Have indigestion. The boom squig has indigestion and blows up. That's such an orc thing. So, would, how many orcs has this thing killed when they're loading into, like, a launcher? Because you said they could be launched out of a squig launcher. So you got a... Yeah, it's like a catapult.

It's like a little catapult. It's like a little catapult. How many orcs have accidentally died to this thing? Well, apparently, orcs use it a lot as practical jokes, where they'll put it beneath the seat of a driver, and then he explodes into the air like a whoopee cushion. Only the orcs would use an actual explosive squig as a gag

on their own, like, tank drivers. They are absolute, absolute kings for that alone. Mm-hmm. I think this is a solid A-tier squig. Oh yeah, you gotta go A-tier. Especially when you're, when you have the orcs using them as like, not only for destructive purposes against their enemies, but as a fucking pseudo-whoopie cushion, it's got to be A-tier, dude. It has to be. This is an A-tier squig.

Yep. All right. The oil squig. Oh, that just looks like an oil. That just, oh, oh, oh, he's got the oil squig. under his arm. I was like, that just looks like an or an ork engineer or something. I was like, where's the squig? It's an

oily squig. Yeah, he's got a little thing in his mouth. He's used to oil stuff. They, they, the squigs secrete a fancy type of like, I don't know, oil, I guess, and they use it to make sure that their stuff works. You know, they gotta, they gotta make sure that they squeeze them and the oil drifts out and they use it to make sure their stuff works.

Okay. I mean, it's cute and everything, but do you think we might have our first D? Because it's just oil and their orcs. If the orcs believed hard enough, they wouldn't even need to oil their machines. You make a good point. I might have to throw oil squig into D. You know, I notice there's actually a second oil squig on here. It's the graw oiler over here. I'll put him on C though, because he's like the same size as the squig, and I find it reminds me of like, carrying my pillow at summer camp. Aw, okay, he can be in C then. He can be in C.

He can be in C. Fine. All right, this fucking lad. Whoa. Whatever. This lad, this is a... Vicious. This is a new model that just came out. Okay.

It just came out. It's fucking awesome. I don't know the exact name of the model, but he's, he's an orc war boss, and he's riding a great white squig. It's a gigantic albino squig with like metal teeth Okay That's amazing

It looks ferocious as hell It's essentially a great white shark As a squig basically That dude like that has to be S tier right I'm honestly considering S tier on this thing There's a picture I posted in the chat Look at that fucking thing It's just got a pistol

shoved into its head and rocket boosters on its side this is S tier this is S tier. This is S tier. This is S tier. No questions. Soon as I saw that thing it was like oh baby, yep, mm-hmm. That's how you know the orc riding is a fucker. Like

he, boy, if I could ride into battle on a squick, it would be that one hands down. There is a great, great ability. Okay, so I know you don't understand much about the tabletop yet, but for those of the people who do. They came out with his rules. I actually think he's really fucking strong, maybe a little too strong. He's 170 points and he's like, he's like T6, like nine wounds.

He's really strong. But the main thing is that his squig has this ability where the squig makes three additional attacks with his mouth. And if you wound somebody with a six on that, You roll a six to wound. It does four mortal wounds, which I don't think you understand, but if you just happen to roll box cars, like you just happen to roll two sixes on the three attacks you get with the squig,

you've basically one-shot Gilliman. Whoa. Like, Gilliman is just going to get fucking crunched in half by the Great Whites. Can you imagine he's dead for 10,000 years and he comes back and just gets fucking cut in half by a giant albino squig. So,

oh man, that's a very powerful unit then. Like, well, obviously you've got to get a little lucky. But it's not unheard of. It's not. I personally think,

personally, I think he might be a little, little opi. Just because of how, how cheap he is. But, I mean, this is early.

The Codex was like just leaked. I'm not going to, You know, you don't want to talk about balance until you've actually fought it a bit. But it looks frightening. Next up, bagpipe squig. Oh, my God. The squig pipe. Please tell me the only purpose of thing, this thing is for music and to play a little jig

and to increase morale and it's just bagpipes. It's just sentient bagpipes. I think it literally is just squig pipes. I don't think I don't think there's anything more to it You inflate it up by blowing in It's like rectum or something And then and then you squeeze it and it makes terrifying noises

Apparently it's like It's like you know imagine bagpipes I know some people don't like bagpipes I don't mind them but imagine like a thousand bagpipes out of tune It's just it's just this never ending I honestly I would put the squig pipe in ST because it's so fucking stupid. I was literally going to say

for only the meme potential, it kind of has to go into S-tier, doesn't it? I think Squig Pipe do belongs in S-tier. Yeah, low S-tier, but S-tier nonetheless. It's the lowest, it's S-minus. Yeah, exactly. It just makes it in because it's so meme-y and stupid and just...

So, Shai tells me this is the cave squig again, so he's going to go next to the other one. Okay. This is the spore squig. It looks like a little tear nids. It looks gross. With all those little like spores and holes on it. I don't like, I don't like the, well, I don't really have it as much as everyone else does.

But if you got tripophobia, this isn't your favorite thing. Oh, yeah, you want to click away from the screen if you got that. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Apparently they're used as like by fungoid cave shamans. they're like they're like the leper which are like the lepers of goblins

apparently apparently they secrete like some kind of like LSD gas so apparently it's just it's just a living hookah and then all the green boys sniffing they're like

oh yeah oh that's oh that's the the mental image of that is horrible, by the way. Just all these orcs surrounding this big, ugly spore and just Oh, yeah, feet.

Right? Like, it's just, oh. Oh, is this the Doge Van Dyer Squig? Yeah, this is the wiki feet, uh, squiggy feet. Oh, I don't like it. I say, I say this is a good, this is a good A, because

apparently it literally gets them high on the battlefield, and if you're too close to it, like the other humans or guard or whoever, will be like they got hit with a dose of LSD just by being near it and then they start tripping. That's fucking funny. I'm putting it in A.

Yeah, I'll go with A because it looks really gross. It's got some meme potential, mental images of it, hilarious. And it could actually be pretty useful against an enemy. You trip them out on LSD and then they're a lot easier to kill. this is a limp and squig apparently it's a squig that they use for blood bowl

and they cut off one of its legs so it can't run away so it's the limpin squig oh my god that's brutal so it's a football it's literally a football squig and it lost a leg oh that's brutal

B for ball Oh Yeah B for ball I was gonna say It's sad but it's just the football D tier maybe But it's like oh no you gotta go if you B for ball Yep B for ball

This is the OG attack squig We thought this was the bomb squig earlier I'm putting the OG attack squig in A though Because it's just it's a nice classic squig It's the classic you can't be put in the classic OG the father of all squigs into like D and C No that's not

affair. He's, without him, there's nothing. He, he is the squig. The squig. Uh,

this is the bag, squig. It's a bag. D. Are you, are you sure, though? Well,

it's, it's just a, well, it looks horrifying. Like, that, that picture of it is just like, I don't,

I don't even, like, it's, it's hard to tell what actually it is. If it's just a bag, then yeah, like, Is there anything special about this bag?

It's alive. It's composed of a stomach and a little mouth and nothing else. And it just slowly digest food in its body the whole time as a bag until it dies. And then when it dies, it's tanned for like leather or turned into like a drink holder. It's a bag. What a pitiful existence.

It's a bag squig. There's a part of me that's like maybe give it like low C tier just because like a, I said, what a pitiful existence. Like, can you imagine? A sympathy, a sympathy placement. A sympathy. A sea, a sea, okay, never mind.

That's fine. Yeah, C. This is low C tear. Uh, the bat squig. It's a bat. It's a bat. It is a bat squig. It is a squig that flies with bat wings. It is, it is just a

squig with bat wings. Huh. And it just swoops in on the enemies and just... It is attack squig plus bat equals bat squig. It swoops in with an attack's enemies as a bat squig. So we obviously can't put that higher than the attack squig, right? I was thinking B for bat squig. Good call.

Good call. It's because it's not a bad squig. It looks cool. It's got bat wings. it flaps around, it's probably pretty effective, but it's not like it's, you know, it's not like an S or A tier or anything. It's all right, it's cool.

It's a B tier one. Yeah. Next of, this is the bile squig. This one is also used in the squig launchers and then heavy squig launches. And what this thing is done is they launch them by the handful. And while in the air, they like squeal and thrash around, freaking the fuck out,

firing out acid, poison, inflammable fluids in every direction. Sometimes it does nothing. Sometimes the enemies will burst into flames, explode or dissolve. Oh. And so you fire it out and it's just like, it just starts going reed and it fucking starts spewing bullshit

out of his eyes and mouth and everything. Whoa, that's horrifying. It is. That's absolutely horrifying. That's horrible. A tier, because I can't imagine this little crazy fucking squig just, oh god, that's nightmare fuel with just bile and disgusting acid coming out of every pore as it flies through the air? Yeah, it's just a giant writhing, spinning that.

Oh, yeah, A tier, because that's, oh, maybe S tier? Because that's, that's a mental image that is going to fuck with you, right? Like, if you're on the battlefield and you see one of those flying through the air, you're just like, oh, no. I'll give it, I think we should do A tier. I don't know if I could, in good conscience, put it in the same tier as Bagpipe Squig and the Great White Squig. That's fair. Definitely a solid A tier, for sure. All right.

Next up, this is the bitey squig. Oh, that is a very weird picture on the tierless thing of it. Because I couldn't tell what that was at first. I was like, is that's, that's not like an orc bent over or something. Is it? This isn't like an NC-17 squig. No, he's just holding him. Okay, okay.

You see the nails of top, that's his hand? Oh, okay. Okay, the picture was cut up very weird. I thought the squig just had like spike spines. No, it's, it is a bitey squig. Imagine it a lot like a squig piranha. It's just got very bitey little little mouths and it just runs at things screeching and it just goes like, oh boy, that's horrifying too, actually.

That sounds like an awful thing to have to deal with. It's also got like stingers and stuff in the tail and all that. It's kind of weird. There's a part of me that's thinking like maybe high B, maybe maybe A. I was thinking I was thinking high B as well. Yeah. Because you load this into the same squiggle on. launcher cannons, but instead of actually exploding or turning into like acid, it's just firing like a screeching, biting little piranha.

It's a piranha launcher. Yeah. As awful as that sounds, it's like, ah, the bile squig sounds way more terrifying to deal with. The bity squig is like, yeah, it's coming at you. It's going to bite you. But it's not like it's going to dissolve you with bile coming out of its eyeballs or anything. All right. Are you ready for the next one? Yeah.

This is the bowel torrent squig. I don't like that name. I do. I don't like that name. The bowel torrent squig? Bowel torrent squig. Tell me what it does. I'm not sure. It's used as ammunition like the other squigs,

but there's not a whole lot of discussion of it in the fluff. and apparently it's just it might expend its munitions quote unquote in a bowel torrenty way so it might shit you to death ew well that's gross

you know there's not a lot on this one besides the hilarious name there's not a whole lot of there's not a whole lot going on with this man I'm gonna say like aside from the name sounding horrific and the potential of it shitting you to death. Low C, just for the fact that it's called a bowel torrent, and that

will probably unsettle you a little bit. But other than that... It goes higher than D-tier for that simple fact alone. Yeah, definitely. All right. Let's get a good one here. The burn a squig. Whoa. This thing. Whoa.

Is it just like burning from the inside, and those are all just like burn spores on it? It's a living... It's a living Molotov. Oh, really? It is a living, running, speedy Molotov. I love that, by the way. So, like, does it just run into someone and they can,

and, like, he just, like, leaves a trail of fire, or does he just into, like, a big fireball? I think he just explodes into a giant fireball, as opposed to, like, a boom squig that just explodes. This one is a, is a living, breathing Molotov, and it runs up and just, just starts to like spoof fire and just turn into a giant explosion.

You gotta give that S tier, right? I think I might S or A? It's pretty, it's one of those two. If it's A, it's high A. It's like on the cusp of S, if not S. Because that, although

I'm basing a lot of this on the fact that it looks so cool. I mean, looks are part of a tierless. It does look dope. They are. It looks really dope. but I guess I mean once the Molotov blows up it's gone

whereas an S tier well granted our bagpipes are just there for the fucking bagpipes but the Great White Shark will take out a lot of dudes This is an 8th year squig Okay

I think it's an 8 tier squig I'll go with that I'm fine with that All right we got now The buzzer squig Damn it you buzzer squig. Okay. The buzzer squig.

It's an insect variation of squig that is a flung from a catapult. And it is literally flying like mosquito piranhas that in a gigantic swarm of bugs will strip like all the flesh from a person and then move on to the next.

It is a swarm of like locusts or or like it's a flying swarm of those scarabs from the mummy. Oh God. So, those, okay, so immediately I'm like, these have to be a higher tier than the bitey squig. Because this

sounds like the bitey squig, but on fucking steroids. Because there's a bunch of them, they fly around, and they just strip you clean down to the bone, and they look horrifying. I, boy. So I, they gotta be at least

A tier. Really? I was thinking high B tier, mainly because I think they look uninspired. They look like just bugs with big mouths. Fair Yeah, I'll go high B Hi B I'll go high B

Hi B sure Alright So that was the buzzer Squig This is the buzzing squig The buzzing squig The buzzing squig

Is a gigantic helicopter bug And with a gigantic mosquito-like stinger That flies into the person And and digs their way

Into your flesh And goes inside your body and then out the other side and then comes back again like a flying bullet I don't like these things I find them very uncomfortable yeah I was gonna say that

that description of them is very uncomfortable and I don't I don't like it also they look very unsettling like it doesn't look like your traditional squig like most of these squigs are like these sort of pinkish reddish purplish blobs that have like big mouth

This thing looks, it looks like a twig, and it's, it's very unsettling. I don't like him. I don't like when they divert from the squig formula too much. I like, I like when they keep it with the silly, funny, orc, orangy boy, and this is just a giant, horrifying mosquito with a nail. Yeah. You know, you know what? I'm putting him in D. I don't like him.

I don't like him. I was going to say lower tier. Like, what he does is terrifying, but it just doesn't seem like a squig. And this is a squig tier list. This is the least squiggly squig we've seen so far. Even the bag squig has more squiggness. Yeah, it looks like a squig just with a bunch of, you know, pipes coming out of it. Yeah, D tier because it doesn't have squig energy.

It doesn't have that BSE, big squig energy, right? Big squig energy. All right, well, if we're going to talk about squig energy, this is the colossal squig. Speaking of big squig energy, oh my God. This is an enormous Enormous Squig It is normally used as a gigantic

Battering ram With a big fucking noggin Damn And if anything tries to get in the way It just eats it It has a giant mouth It got this two little funny legs And its little tail

And it runs up eating or balking things in the face And then if it dies It blows them to the smaller versions Of the cave squigs we talked about earlier. Oh shit, really? Yeah. It's the largest variant of squigs

known in existence besides squigots, which are more like a mammoth. So it's like a T-Rex squig that'll explode into velociraptors. It is the ultra squig. It is a squigma male. You have to put that in S tier. S for squigma male.

The squig trillionaire mindset. Oh, stop. Get on that squig grind set, all right? I'm on the squig grind set, all right? I'm a squigma male. You either are on the squig grind or your food for the squig. Oh, boy. How did we get here?

S for squigma male. Squig, oh, yeah. So what's the next? Although I got to say that colossal squig is really sick. It's really cool. Besides the fact that you hate me saying squigma male, it is fucking awesome. Aside from the memes, And just what it does sounds really cool, too.

Not only is it a giant battering around with giant teeth, but it explodes into like little cave squigs. And it's like, that's so cool. That's so sick. It is super sick. All right. What the fuck is that? It's my grandma's fruitcake.

Ew. Literally. It's an Eden squig. You eat it. Oh. Oh, no. It's just a blob. Do they literally eat that?

No, yeah, this is their food. It's the eating squig. Oh, gross. I hate it. That looks so gnarly, dude. I hate it. Do you really hate it? I think it looks kind of funny.

I hate it. Well, it looks funny, but can you imagine taking a bite out of that? I mean, yeah, it looks funny. It does. It looks funny, but I wouldn't want to, like, cut into it. to that and be like, oh yeah, taste it. Yeah, but you're not an orc. Can you imagine what that tastes like?

Who cares? That's orcs. True, it is orcs. Do you think orcs have chefs? Probably. Look, I could imagine an orc with a chef hat and like a chef apron. I can actually imagine that, and it's pretty fucking funny. Apparently, it's mostly grots.

Grots do all the cooking. Oh. Interesting. Well, here's the Eden Squig. You don't like him. I like him. I like him. I'm putting him in C. We're going to go through the middle grounds. All right, low C. He has a funny name, too.

He looks funny. It's a funny name because he's an eating squig. You eat him. And it looks derpy as fuck. I'm surprised someone hasn't made like a plush pillow that's just an eating squig. That actually sounds like a great idea. A giant squig pillow. Right?

This is a face eater squig. Oh, I. These are often, these are often used as binge eating contests. and they've got giant sawtooth mouths and I think we talked about these didn't we? I think we did but like for a second that picture was a little small

so I couldn't quite tell what it was and then I was like oh shit that's the he's holding the squig up with the big mouth and he's got his mouth open too oh yeah yeah we did talk about these in the orc episode I suppose yeah yeah they have a competition where they both try to like eat each other

and if the orc dies he loses but if he eats the squig he wins it's fucking stupid it is very dumb uh it looks like that orc in that picture is gonna lose though because that's a i think it's a gretchen in that picture it looks like a grot that that gretchen or grot or whatever looks like it's gonna get its face eating

because that that squig has its mouth open way wider I don't see how that orcg org or whatever it is thinks it's gonna beat that face eater squig I say we do beats here it sounds fun enough Yeah. Yeah, the competition for using it like to see which one eats the other one's face first is cool enough for B. Yeah.

Its use is the more fun part. Mm-hmm. All right. Flesh eater, squig. I hate this one. It's just a rat. Oh. That's it.

It's just a rat. It's like a little rat crocodile thing and they use it to eat flesh. Oh, like when there's too many corpses, they're just like, here, throw some rats at it. Kinda, they use them as like wealth. Are they using them to help get the money? Which is, of course, Tief. Oh. Yeah.

Well, I don't like them. Yeah. They're used as like as like money. If you have a lot of them, it's good for you. But like that's it. I don't, I don't like them. This looks like a rat. Yeah.

It just looks like a dumb, it looks like a big dumb rat. D tier. D tier it is. This is a gas squig. A gas squig. literally farts you to death. It unleashes warrior wear smooth moose level of stank. And that gas is lethal and it will kill you.

Ooh. Mmm. That's, that's a, that's a, that's a lot. That's a lot to take in. It's a lot to take in. You know, on the plus side, it looks like a squig. It does. It looks like a squig.

It is devastating. because the gas is poisonous, right? The gas is extremely poisonous. And, boy, he looks like he lets out a lot of it. So, yeah, that's a pretty good squig. I think it's a decent squig. Yeah, B tier, B tier, B tier squig. Yeah, looks like a squig, super deadly.

What was its name? It's just a gas squig. Cuitable name. Yeah, B tier. All right. Fine. This one, these are the Cape Squigs. Oh my god, is that what they're doing? They carry your cape.

They are regal. They are dignified. They make sure your cape doesn't touch the floor. They might be trying to eat your cape. We don't know. I've been looking at that picture. I've been looking at that picture this whole time wondering what those two squigs were doing. I'm like, oh, are they like puking out like sludge?

Are they like, oh, man, maybe they, uh, maybe, maybe they spew out this thing. like toxic black bile and it's really horrible and it's all rubbery and you can't get out of it. And you're telling me while all of this was going through my head those two fucking squigs were just carrying someone's cape? Yeah, they're just, they're cape carriers. They might be eating it, we don't know.

S tier. S tier. S-Ragg. All right, I want to do a lightning round because we've got a whole bunch of these fucking black and white ones. Okay, lightning round, let's do it. All right. Stalagg squig. It's a squig. It's a squig, but it's a stalactite. Uh, D tier.

I'm putting in C tier. I kind of like it. Fine, put it in C tier. All right, gobs, squig. What, what does it do? I don't, I don't know. Uh, uh, gobs, squig? I can't even, I can't even find a link for it.

I can't even find a link for it. D tier, I don't know what it does. D tier, because it looks fucking dumb. It looks fucking weird. D for dumb. D for dumb, yep. Guard squig. What's it do?

Uh, guard? It's like a hound. It's like a hound dog? Attack dog. Oh. Uh, uh, D for dog. No, I'll put it in C. I like dogs.

Fine. Fine. All right. It's not like he's pebble. Yeah, that's true. Is this... If you look like pebble, I'd put him in ass dear. Is this what I...

Is this the hair squig? What? Ass rank. It's hair. It's literally just hair. It's just hair? It is a squig that they use for hair. It is their hair.

Orps don't have... Orks don't have hair. If they have hair, it's because they have a squig that's hair on them. So if you see an org that has hair, it's actually a squig? It is a squig being used for hair. Squigs are wings. That's so stupid. As for stupid.

S-rank. That's the most orc thing I've ever fucking heard. All right. Heard squig. They heard. Oh, they heard? That's it? They're just like, what, are they, like, cattle?

I guess they heard, like, she... They heard, like, other variants of squigs. They're, like, a pet squig. They're fast and scary. I guess. C, C tier. Yeah. All right. Horned squig.

It's a squid with a big horn. No kidding. I was like, that's a fitting name right there. Do they use them in combat? Like, can you... I would assume you could use them in combat and, like, absolutely... fucking impale

uh... yeah okay one of those I like this guy a lot because they literally are used as ramming squigs with giant horns and and then it's sometimes if they get shot or killed or something

an orc will strap it to its forearm to use it to shank people I'm putting this an A tier for that reason alone I was gonna say a tier because like impaling awesome but that little bit about just I'm gonna take just two fist Sounds great. So yeah, A tier. Yep. Paint squig. Oh my God. Let me guess. It's just, it's just for painting and arts and crafts.

It's just for painting. War, paint, wall, paints, uh, banners. It's paint squig. It looks like a, it looks like a fucking used condom. Oh, D tier. Just because it looks like a used condom. D tier. Yep. Very well. If you say so, I won't stop you. Parasite hunt and squig. Parasite hunts. That thing looks gross. Yeah, it doesn't look like a squig either. It doesn't. Lack of squig. It hunts parasites.

They're like those tiny little feeders you put on your body to eat like other parasites, like a symbiotic rash. Like a leech type, do you? Yeah. Yeah, like a little tick. Detier. That thing's gross. It doesn't look like a squig.

It's lame. Yeah. All right. Now we're into some good stuff. This is the screech squig. All right. It has oversized. It has oversized lungs.

And it screams incredibly loudly. what it's very it's used like the bitey squig and the and the bile squig where it's loaded into the rocket launchers which is where it's in right now and you fire it at the enemy and it's basically like a makeshift fucking flashbang because it's just like screeching at the top of its lungs and everyone can't they can't hear it and they have to like cover their ears and they can't you know they're distracted well that's that sounds very useful um i you know with how useful that is in combat i gotta say that's got to be an A tier right that's gotta be up there. Like if the horn squig can be an A tier for its uses, this thing has to be at least A tier. Like I'd put this above the hookah squig. You know what? I'm with you on that one. Well actually I don't know, it does, it does go re. It literally rees. It literally does. It screeches, yeah, yeah. So. I kind of want to put an S tier. Ooh. Is it, is it good enough to be with hair squig and cape squig? It literally, they fire a small, like, ringing child at people, which is pretty great.

When you describe it like that, you're really convinced to me that it deserves to be an S-tier. Like, S are high. Give it low S-tier. All right, bottom of S-tier, S-Minez. Bottom of S-tier, yeah. Because that's... Okay. Snuffle squigs.

Snuffle sounds like such a cute name, but that just not look like a cute thing. It's a pig It's just a pig It's just a pig It's a pig, it's a pig It looks kind of cool though Like that mini looks pretty slick It does

Sometimes they'll babble uncontrollably And sometimes they burst into flames What? Yep They just sometimes burst into flames For no reason Uh, yep Huh

B tier B tier for burst into flames No B tier for bacon Uh Nice Excellent job This is the spiky squig It fires out poison

It's poisonous bars Sometimes it's used as like a morning star Or a flail weapon It's just attached to weapons And they balk on people with them Sometimes they roll around Sometimes as they roll around They use it to hunt food

I mean, that's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. I was going to give it B. Yeah, put it in there with that bacon. That bacon. Yeah, that bacon tier. Let's go. This is the splotin squig. Gee, what does the sploting squig do? It's basically a biological grenade.

They throw them in combat when they've ran out of stick bombs. I think, I think, oh, that's right. There's digestive juices combined with a special, liquid, causes them to explode, but they need to shake them. So they shake them, like a... So they grab them, they're like, shake, they're like, shake, shush, shake, and they throw them at people.

So it's like a poisonous soda bottle. Yeah, yeah, basically, it's a giant poisonous exploding soda bottle. A tier. A tier. A tier. A tier. No doubt about it. Um, is this... This is the mimic.

Oh, please tell me it's a squig that just mimics anything on the battlefield. It's an orc parrot. It's got a giant, look at the beak's mouth. It mimics what they say. They say like, oh, lads more DACA. I was like, yeah, more DACA. S-tier. Put that motherfucker in S-tier, dude.

That's hilarious. That's equally as hilarious as the hair squig and the cape squig. It's just a parrot that makes what these idiots are saying. I love it. It's generally used by war bosses of these special pirate orcs called the Free Buddhas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The ones. All right, yeah, Buddha.

We got a bunch more black and white ones. We got ruffle with these ones. All right. Lightning round. Squidgeon. What does it do? It's a pigeon squig. It's used for communication and sending notes.

It's not as cool as the mimics. Squig, D-tier. Good point. D-tier it is. Actually, I'll put C because I do like the fact that I carries notes. Oh, okay. Mend and squig. Is that literally just like a healer squig that'll mend your wounds? Uh, it is, it is used for glorified, like, stitches. It's, yeah, it's used for medical. Oh, man, the picture looks weird. I can't tell what part is the squig and what part is the orc.

Uh, C-tier. I think it's, I think it's used. as a, um, where is it? The Payton Boy applies it to an open wound, which it holds clothes with its tiny little teeth. And then it twists its tail off, leaving the head stuck in the flesh. Oh, it's a giant, it's a suture squig. It's basically used like, it's like a clamp, and then they pull the tail off and they just stays there to keep the wound okay. That's so weird. See for care.

See for care. Squig Hawk. Oh shit. That black and white picture makes it look really cool. I'm assuming it's just a hawk, and it just swoops in with its talons. They're really big. Beef or bird it is.

Oh my God, what the hell is this one? Squig hound. Wait, did we already do squig hounds? I thought we did do a squig. Yeah, it's right here. We already had it. I'll put next to the other squig hound. Squig shark.

Oh, fuck. Squig shark, a tier, dude. If that's just a squig that's a shark, a tier. Yep. A tier, no doubt, squig shark. Surin, oh no, swab squig. Swab squig? Swab squig.

What did it do? Uh-huh. It is a... What the fuck does it do? Oh, oh my God, it's a mop. They also are used for emergency handkerchiefs. That has to be A tier for just the memory. It's just a mop.

It's a mop. It's a mop. It's a mop. I'll put it in B tier. I don't know if I deserves A tier, but B too definitely. Yeah, it's a mom, so B for bucket. Sringe squig. God, it's just a syringe.

It's just a syringe. D for doctor. All right. Okay, all right, now we're going to do some good ones. All right. Targeting squig. Oh, that that crosshair

eyeball thing is super cool. This thing, they literally have like attached to various types of well, various types of like weapons or or sometimes like in the game, you can actually take targeting squigs. It increases

your chances to hit. I love the look of this thing. I love the cross hair like iris that it's got going on. Um, so aesthetics alone, I want it at least in A. I think this deserves a high A

Right around here A for AIM Let's go A for AIM! Let's go! Yes, Aver AIM! All right This is a tomb squig Oh, please don't tell me it's a tomb squig Because it just eats dead bodies

It eats dead bodies It's an albino breed of burrowing squig That feeds on corpses and the undead Why do they have this? Is this just to clear the battlefield? They used to break open sarcophagi and bite through dwarves. And they're also used to devour the undead and the dead. Oh, I mean, it looks cool, it sounds gross, maybe A for, ugh.

I actually don't like it that much. Okay, well, where do you think it should be? I think you're going to see. I mean, it looks kind of dumb. Fair, I mean, what used to you really have to burrow and open up sarcophagi as an orc? Yeah, I mean, it's a Sigma maybe, but I don't know. No, I don't like the way it looks. I kind of think it looks cool, but yeah, we'll go see. That's fine. Vampire squig.

I'm assuming it's a mosquito. It is a little vampire bat that's used to suck, like, bad blood and things from wounds. D for Dracula. All right. The weird squig. Oh, yep. Apropos name. Psychic subspecies of squig.

They look like the fucking winter lanterns from Bloodbourne. They're very gross. I don't like it. They're often used it as a psychic bomb as like a psychic grenade. They just throw them. Oh, and then what if you're caught in it, like you just lose your fucking mind? Yeah, you go crazy. It's like a psycho grenades, which are occasionally used.

Man, that is an off-putting looking squeak. I don't know where to put it because it sounds really cool, but it don't look like a squig. B for brain blast. Okay, I was going to say B for bomb, but sure, yeah, that works. Yeah, that works. B for brain. Looks like a brain. Oh, good call.

B for brain. Let's go. All right. Now we're getting to some of the newer ones that I'm really happy with. This is the squig hog. The squig hog. That's a big boy, too. Actually, that's a, that's a cool looking big boy.

The squig hog is a, is a newer one. It's basically just like this big old riding mount with some big old jaws and there's a Gretchen in the back and an arc on the front Looks really cool They're just like cavalry So you just ride it it's like a horse essentially just like a big horse like a ferocious big That you write It's like or cavalry basically. Yeah I like it I do too, but it's like all these other squigs have weird uses right and this one's just like

Yeah, you write it. Yeah, maybe like a B. I was gonna say C for Calvary, but you can go B if you want. I'm gonna put, I think, I like C for cavalry, but I also really like the way it looks. The model looks good. The model does look great. I will give you that.

The model looks right. Maybe, maybe high, maybe upper high C. At the very cusp of... Maybe. But then I'm putting it in the same tier as food squig. Oh, that's... I'm putting in low B. Low B it is.

Yeah, give it low B. I like your reasoning. Yeah, same tier as Eaton, Squig? All right. This guy. All right. Samasha Squig. Ooh.

I can't really see what's on his head. Oh, I... Oh, good God, that was close to that one I liked. That didn't help at all. That did not. He's got something on his head. Uh, but what do you do? He, he's got, okay, he's, he's a squig with a gigantic metal plate in his face.

Okay. And he's used to just run at people and smash really hard into them with this big, brainy boy. It's a giant heavily armored plate put into his face, and then the dude in the back's got like a, like a shoot a pistol, and he's running at you. Mm-hmm. I'm assuming these things can run pretty fast. Yes. Okay. Man, that sounds pretty great.

Especially for something that you're riding. Like, you run into something. You hit it real hard, and if it survives, you still got the guy on the back that'll shoot you. I... Do I... I'm debating between A and B tier here. Because I think it's cool enough to be in one of those.

I think A tier. Low A tier. Yeah. I like that, Squig. Yeah, he's cool. All right. Squig got... Oh, shit.

Squig Gaba. This is a big, fat squig that fires other squigs out of its mouth like artillery. Any kind of squig? Can it fire any squig? I actually don't know which types of squig it cans, but it's literally chained down

to like a platform like King Kong. And then a bunch of goblins are climbing all over it, and it's just going, who p, pooh-poo-poo-poo-poo-p. So it's like a giant mortar squig. It is literally a howitzer squig. wig. Oh boy. That's that's high. That's that's at least a tier. I think I think a tier. I like this one a lot. And it and it looks cool. It looks like a giant fucking frog or something and it's just like whir-blit and it just spits out squigs. I like it. It's really fun. A for amphibious looking. A for amphibious. Um, this is the squigosaur. This is like the regular version of the great white squig.

Oh, well, I mean, you gotta put that in S then. I mean, not as hot, not like top tier S, like it's Great White Shark variant, but that's got to go in S, right? If we have the Great White. Like this literally is a T-Rex. It's a T-Rex squig. It's got to go an S. It has to.

Undoubtedly. It's too cool. And last but not least, we have the trample squig. Oh, he's got armor. He does. He actually is really, he's got, he's carried. a giant like, like, um, I was it like like a chariot almost. Mm-hmm.

Uh, it's this giant rig. Him, he's got him and like another squiggies. He's just this really, it's right, it's called the kill rig. Whoa. All right. Let me see if I can find this thing because it's, it is really funny looking. And I, and I really like it. All right.

There it is. I got it. Oh, did you put it in chat? I just didn't. Look at him. Look at how chunky he is. He's so thick. Whoa.

That whole model is so dope. Oh, shit. That literally, literally came out this or was announced or whatever just recently. Ken, look, I don't know if I'm supposed to do this, but can we put that in S-tier just because of how cool the whole thing altogether looks? And because that thing looks pretty dope, too. Looks like a fucking Stegosaurus. it does we like our dinosaur squigs I'll put it in as for the dinosaur for the dinosaur

yeah because we put the other two dinosaur squigs in there mostly or no it looks like the triceratops is what I meant to say even though it only has one horn instead of the wait a fucking second shy did you list squigs under anime and manga

you fucking shit word good one that's that no this is so anime it's a tear list so immediately it gets put into anime and manga. Yep. I hate it here. Nah, you love it. You love it. I love it when we're talking about cool squigs.

So let's take a look, recap at our squig tier list. Let's make sure we recap S properly, because S is the most important. So we have the great white squig, obvious contender. Obvious. We have the bag, the squig pipes. Amazing. Yeah, S-tier meme. Yep.

We have the colossal squig with his squigua male. Oh, God, I thought we were done with that. No, this is going to be the new meme. You're going to have to deal with it. I mean, granted, the most squigma male here is probably the great white squig and his writer. Yeah, probably. But even so. Cape squig.

I still can't get over the fact that this whole time, I was specifically looking at that because I was like, whoa, is that oil? Is that like some kind of crazy? void that they're spewing out? No, they're holding a cape. And I was like, oh, God. It's perfect. They have their job. They're good boys. They're good boys, yeah. Hair squig. Obvious, obvious contender. Obvious, obvious. Screeching squig. I love how, I love how it looks in there. He's like, he's so

ready to go. Yeah. I was like, oh, he's like, I'm so comfy in my home. Dude, he's doing a pog face. Oh my God. Can we get a, can we get a, can we get a, uh, screaming squig, pog emote for the Discord, please? Oh, hell yeah. Join the Discord. Go on Patreon. You can join the Discord if you're on any tier. Join it.

Parrot Squig. Oh, yeah. Excellent. That one cemented S-tier when you were like, oh yeah, more daka. More docker? Like, I love it. It's so good for the free Buddhas.

And then our dinosaur squigs. I'm a little, I'm a little not sure. I almost might put this one A? He's cool, but he's not like, this guy's got got a whole, he's got some chunk. He does, and he's carrying around a big old rig to a big sick rig, all in his own. That's true. Yeah, and if we're not going to put the battering squig or the targeting squig in S, I feel like we should put the dino squig in like high A. Yeah, may put him high A. I really like this big chunky squig, though. He looks like a big boar.

He's great, and he carries around a load. Like, He does. He do. He do. I like D tier. It's merely just a whole bunch of not-squig-looking squigs. Yeah, and an oil swing. That's just like an oil ship. I almost feel bad about the oil squig being in D or long with, like at least it looks like a squig. It does. It looks at least like a squig. Seeing when all the rest of D-tier looks like, I was gonna say, yeah, move it to C tier. For care. We care about you squigs. Yeah, we care. Well, there we go. Everyone will agree with us.

No one will have other opinions This is the Unquestioned Squig tier list It is perfect This is objective fact Yeah this is objectively The best tierless you will ever see In regards to squigs

Any other squig tierless you see Is false and don't believe them That's that's the heresy That you need to frown upon Mm-hmm It is pure trash Nobody can agree Disagree with us

We are the law Gavage, those other two, garbage. Gavage. Gabbage. Well, this is our squig tier list. The new orc codex actually went on pre-order this just recently. Oh, so Shai's gotta be pretty hype about that. It's pretty neat besides the fact that it's sold out in like half a second, but she got hers.

So that's still good. Good for you, Shai. So the new orcs will be coming at us soon. I might get the great white squig just because he's so incredibly cool looking and I want to paint him up. Yeah, that'd be a good one to get. But besides that, shall I take us home? Yeah.

Oh, I thought you said shy take us home. I was like, how the fuck is she going to do? I don't know why I thought that. She's too busy. She's got out of things to do. Yeah, she's too busy. She's editing this damn thing. Thank you very much for watching our squig tier list today.

Hopefully it was okay that we had like a little bit of a silly episode in between our stuff. We'll probably talk more about other things in the future. My eyes and Bricky, you can find me at Bricky, Bricky stuff. D.K. Alferius, where can they find you? Ah, I, yes, I'm still Alfarious at D.K. Diamanties everywhere, Twitter, Twitch, and YouTube, Real D.K. Diamantis on Instagram. Squigs, man. So many squigs, squigs, man.
