Adam Troke explores the new Orcs & Goblins army book with Jeremy Vetock and the designers of its Savage Orc and Arachnarok kits. Vetock expands the distinct lives of greenskin tribes while revising Animosity and making Choppas express Orc strength across weapon choices. Mark Harrison describes fitting primitive materials, Big Stabbas and ranking-friendly poses onto the Savage Orc frames; Alex Hedström explains the Arachnarok’s menacing stance, modular howdah crew and proliferation of spare spiderlings.
