The magic wielded by Goblin Shamans is no less destructive than that of their larger Orcish peers, but while Orc Shamans chant and gyrate around the battlefield, Goblin Oddnobs and Oddgits skulk close by their kin, working spells and spitting curses far from the eyes of the enemy. It is unclear how this affects their magic, but Goblin Shamans seem to live longer than their Orc counterparts...
This supplement takes a close look at the brutal badlands where the Orcs and Goblins hold their claims. This is a place where might makes right, and the largest, meanest, and most cruel dominate their rivals. Used in conjunction with Warhammer: The Old World – Ravening Hordes, this book arms you with even more in-depth rules, allowing you to use your collection of brutish Orcs and cunning Goblins in new and exciting ways.
Warlock Bombardiers are those engineers who develop a particular penchant for weapons that deliver explosive death from extreme range. Their alchemical armaments cause utter devastation wherever they strike home.
Deathmasters are the greatest assassins of the Clans Eshin, trained in the shadowy arts of stealth and contracted to slay those whom influential skaven deem too dangerous to live. Armed with poisoned ‘weeping blades’ and toxin-laced throwing stars, these supernaturally dextrous killers have slain kings and warlords beyond count.
Considering the country’s location and involvement in major European conflicts for centuries, Polish officers came from a society that valued a proud military tradition. After the end of World War I, having freshly wrested its independence from neighboring powers, Poland was in a state of almost constant conflict. Most of the officers in Poland’s military were experienced and capable leaders.
Despite facing the double invasion of their homeland in 1939 by both Germany and the Soviet Union, the vastly outnumbered Polish military fought with bravery and tenacity. The Polish army in 1939 was large, well-officered and relatively well-equipped. It fought hard, but was entirely outmanoeuvred by fast-moving German armoured thrusts supported by all arms in a new dynamic style of war that a largely foot-slogging Polish army could not match. When the Soviets joined the fight and also invaded Poland, bisecting the country, it was too much for an already over-extended army short of armour and air support to hold out against – the end was inevitable.
Orc & Goblin Tribes attack as a manic tide of destructive enthusiasm. With little heed for their own safety, they throw themselves upon the enemy using unsubtle, but nevertheless effective tactics of choppin' and smashin' their foes.
Orc Bosses are mighty leaders for Orc & Goblin Tribes. In this kit, you will find components to build two of these intimidating characters – one on foot and one mounted on a fierce War Boar. You get many options for your brutal Bosses, including a choice of great weapon, hand weapon and shield, spear and shield, or a pair of hand weapons. You can also build either Orc as a Battle Standard Bearer. There are also three head options and optional shoulder pads, allowing you to personalise your leader.
Clanrats mass into huge clawpacks, their vast numbers bolstering their courage and allowing them to surge across the battlefield and overwhelm the enemy, regardless of the hideous casualties they suffer along the way.
Driven into battle by their frenzied faith, the Plague Monks of Clan Pestilens are a repulsive tidal wave of filth that smashes into their enemies with the power of a flood.
For centuries beyond counting has the race of malevolent ratmen known as the skaven plagued the Mortal Realms. Arrogant, avaricious and utterly without mercy, the skaven seek to annihilate every other sapient creature – expanding, multiplying, and consuming everything in their path until they alone rule over the decaying husk of reality. Those who defy this vision are overwhelmed by swarms of frenzied, red-eyed warriors, weaponized plagues, monstrous beasts and lightning-spitting war machines. Arise, Children of the Great Horned Rat!
Some Orcs have adopted ill-tempered boars as their mounts. Once up to speed, boars can be almost unstoppable, their powerfully churning legs propelling them into the enemy where their goring tusks and stamping hooves can do untold damage. From atop their precarious perch, an Orc can set about the foe with spear and choppa, knowing that should they fall, their mount will give them a proper good kicking.
