Forest Goblin Spider Riders

March 2011·p. 102

THE SHORT VERSION

A sepia wash and Gretchin Green highlight make the Forest Goblins lighter than their Orc allies. Their spiders combine drybrushed black carapaces with pale exposed flesh and red eyes, while varied abdomen designs reuse the same restrained palette. Blue feathers echo the army’s warpaint, linking the Goblin contingent to the Savage Orcs without making their skin identical.

Editorial: The Green Tide

Andrew Kenrick welcomes the largest plastic Warhammer monster yet, the Arachnarok Spider, and the first full-colour hardback army book for the new edition. The release shapes the issue’s enormous battle, painting workshop and Karak Eight Peaks campaign, while Dol Guldur and Armageddon offer other linked games. The editorial also bids farewell to Adam Troke as he returns from White Dwarf to games development.

Waaagh! Da Orcs

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.
