Option B
Especially if we will have constructor like KoE Falk Hero.
So it needs many (at least 5) optional upgrades.

So we could buy 3 upgrades for Gogyag: Poison + super attack + Strider
And it become Gargantula.

Take just super attack + Strider and it become Crab.
And so on...
Gogyag sounds not very good. Maybe change it a little bit? Even Goyag sounds better.

Why? There are many units in OnG book which can be merged together in one unit with some optional upgrades.

It sound really bad. The main purpose of generic units is to give freedom of both models and their gameplay.
And it may be balanced like WDG or DL marks.

Options:
I would prefer option A. Specific monsters, and not some where gear and abilities can be toyed around a lot.
(in my opinion a nightmare to balance and get right properly, and chances are high that it fails in the design phase and a lot of time is wasted to fix these things in alpha and beta).

I don´t think having super wide costumization options make the book better. In contrary i think that having 5 possibilities just makes problems to get them all to somewhat equal strength and usage. Most of the time one will be clearly the best version...like the 7 sins in warrior book. And after each patch there will be another one the to go route.
I prefer to have entries that are somewhat defined by rules, name and appearance.

Names:
I have no clue what a gogyag could be. No native english speaker, and I can´t even fing something in google to check it. So seems to be some kind of artificial name. Don´t like it. I would prefer names that can be linked to a model. (nothing wrong with having a giant spider, it is basically the source of it in the book). Giant crab could be something the idol represents if this entry stays undefined.


If somebody wants to represent his gargantula spider with a crab or a huge Troll model....go for it. But I don´t think the spider entry should be watered down because there could be other models that can represent it.

Note: This is my personal opionion.
Change as little as possible to the slim. O&G is a nice and rather balanced army.

It sound really bad. The main purpose of generic units is to give freedom of both models and their gameplay.
And it may be balanced like WDG or DL marks.

Having 7 marks and this huge amount of demonic abilities tied to them is in my opinion one of the worst things done in the creation of the book. A nightmare to balance. And at least in our group the DL book is one of the most hated ones because of all these generic entries that can be upgraded so that nobody not playing with or against demons regulary knows what the units are capable off because it all depends on the "silly names upgrades" that can be costumized.

Short: Marks and demonic upgrades are not balanced. The sheer amount of them is a hindrance to have fun playing the book. (with the army or against it). Way worse in demon book than in warrior book, because of a more limited access and less inpact on the units abilities.

Not that anyone asking for my suggestions but for monster names I can come up with LISTS!!

Gogyag?! I tried saying it very orcish and it doesn't make sense.

8 Eyes!, Beasties! , Venom Legs, Venom Fangs, Sluggas, Webmobiles!, Crawlers, Stalkers, Big Stalkers, Elf Killers etc... making up names like gogyag sounds like you are trying to keep up with AoS random name generators lol

Personally I would prefer option A, I love a spider, I love a big gnasher and as others have said better that me, I do think overcustomisation becomes a hindrance to playing a game fun and quick without having to explain what every option does 4 times. In terms of immersion, I also feel that having a definite spider or gnasher is better than a generic big boy which can be customised to anything. In terms of modelling, the way I see it spiders come in very different forms and sizes and gnashers are... a bit more of an abstract concept in terms of looks This is but a personal view and I'm sure whatever you guys come up with will be solid

Option A.

I definitely like customisation but I keep thinking that too much "generic entries" leads to "lack of personality", decrease of army identity and, in the end, bland books.

that's me

Option A:

I don't like the thought of the same basic entry being too customizable. "Didn't your Gogyag have Poison and Strider last time?", "No today I took the armour/crush attack crab option".

Essentially we get a little bit more customization at the cost of added complexity and options getting just a little more bland


Also the name "Gogyag" isn't doing Option B any favors. My 7-year nephew is getting into the game (in the way 7-years can ofc). I can explain to him what a big spider is. I can even explain to him what Gnashers are. I can't really explain terms that are too generic, and that makes the concept lame in my eyes

1. I prefer option B. I like when the entries are a bit more non-specific to encourage creativity in modeling and army theme, especially since OnG are suposed to be super diverse.
2. Naming things are always difficult since you generally have to "get used to" names before they feel right. I dont mind Gogyag but would prefer more traditionally greenskin names such as Big Stompa, Many Tooth, Spikey-Slashy etc.
3. While Im a big fan of the new KoE character customizations and a "make your own gribbly" for OnG would be neat I get the complexity budget has to be respected. I'd settle for 2-3 variants of Colossal Gogyag where one is the old Gargantula.

Option A.

I also love customizations but it s much easier to remember a unit you do not know if you understand what it is by the name. It' very hard to keep up with the Daemons as most are very generic, what is very good to build an army, but very hard to keep it in mind, escpecially for a beginner.
