Orcs and Goblins

Orcs and Goblins are the scourge of the Warhammer world, an unending tide of ferocious raiders. For every greenskin Waaagh! defeated on the field of battle, another arises to trample a swathe of destruction across the land. Orcs and Goblins live to fight! This book describes in detail the Orc & Goblin army, its history and heroes.

This Warhammer 25th Special Army set contains: an Orc Warboss, a Black Orc Big Boss, 20 Black Orcs (including full command), 5 Orc Boarboyz (including full command), 1 Giant and 1 Chariot.

When Animosity strikes a mob of Boyz, Orc Bosses tend to get caught up in the brawl that results. Black Orc Bosses, on the other hand, 'don't stand fer any of dat bovver' and swiftly restore order with extreme prejudice (and a big axe). Black Orcs are the biggest and strongest of all Orcs, and get their name from their dour, grim demeanour as much as from the colour of their skin, which is extremely dark green or black. They take war much more seriously than other Orcs and have the best equipment. Many of their fearsome weapons are captured in battle, and carried as a mark of their self-evident superiority, while others are paid in tribute by subjugated tribes.

Black Orcs are the biggest and strongest of all Orcs, and get their name from their dour, grim demeanour as much as from the colour of their skin, which is extremely dark green or black. They take war much more seriously than other Orcs and have the best equipment. Many of their fearsome weapons are captured in battle, and carried as a mark of their self-evident superiority, while others are paid in tribute by subjugated tribes. This plastic boxed set contains 10 Black Orcs (including a full command group).

Forest Goblin tribes are to be found in the depths of many woodeed areas. These forests are full of all kinds of spiders, and the largest of these are sometimes captured and ridden. Spiders are good fighters, with mandibles like steel pincers. This boxed set contains a unit of 10 Forest Goblin Spider Riders.

Not really a smart weapon, but it is Goblin guided. After all, when you're a Goblin, it's much better to go out as a instrument of mass destruction, than to get knocked on the head and eaten by your mates! This box contains one complete Goblin Doom Diver.

Where Goblins are concerned, no matter how many die or run away there are always plenty left. They are halfway decent shots, but in other respects they are poor and often unwilling fighters. However they are dangerous in numbers and quite capable of overwhelming better troops by sheer weight of numbers. Goblins come in regiments of 20 or more. This box contains 20 Goblins including a command group.

Constructed by Goblins, these crude war machines are certainly not lacking in power. Emplloyed by cunning warbosses to soften uop the enemies main line before the ladz get stuck in. The Goblin crew 'aided' by their aptly named Orc Bully can cause a headache for any general. x contains one complete Rock Lobber and crew.

Bolt throwers, or Spear Chukkas as Goblins call them, are common devices in the Greenskin forces. They are usualy powered by twisted Squig hide ropes, creating the tension required to fire the great bow. They are not as sturdy or nearly as accurate as their Elven counterparts, but they do make up for this in numbers! This blister contains one complete Spear Chukka with crew.

In situations where there is no Orc to lead them a Goblin will occasionaly manifest an acute 'Gork complex'. This usually involves emulating an Orc Warboss and lauding it over his subordinates, this situation usually lasts until a passing Orc realises that there is no one leading the tribe. This blister contains 1 Goblin Warboss mounted on a Wolf.

Greenskins use chariots as fast, mobile weapons of war. Not only are they powerful but they look good! A chieftan might choose to ride around in a chariot as a mark of his superiority over more lowly greenskins. This box contains one Goblin Chariot.

Goblin Wolf Riders commonly raid and pilage ahead of the advancing hordes, scouring the countryside for signs of enemy troop movements. On the battlefield they harry the flanks of enemy units and chase down those who've fled the braver greenskins. Wolf Riders come in regiments of 5 or more Goblins. This box contains 10 Wolf Riders including a command group.

In many records, Gorbad was the mightiest Orc Warlord that ever lived. Atop his fearsome boar, Gnarla, Gorbad drove his horde across the Empire, sacking and burning many great cities and even bringing Altdorf under siege. Gorbad Ironclaw counts as your General AND Army Battle Standard, riding his fearsome War Boar - Gnarla he is one of the most formidable leaders you can take in your Orc & Goblin army!

A Fanatic is a Night Goblin bearing a ball and chain weapon so large that it would be impossible for a Goblin to pick it up in normal circumstances. Having imbibed a brew made of a very rare and very special fungus called Mad Cap, the Fanatic's strength is boosted beyond belief, enabling him to swing the heavy ball round and round in a whirlwind of bone-shattering death. This box contains 3 plastic Night Goblin Fanatics.

Occasionally a NIght Goblin is born that is braver, stronger and more cunning than his fellow Night Goblins. These heroes lead the Night Goblins into war. This blister contains two figures.

In common with all Goblins, Night Goblins are petty, if cowardly creatures. Where they differ, however, is that their Shamans prepare them for battle by brewing huge quantities of fungus beer, lending them sharper instincts and quicker reactions, if rendering them paranoid and twitchy at the same time. This boxed set contains 20 Night Goblins able to be armed with spear and shield, hand weapon and sheild or bows.

Squigs are weird beasties, part fungus, part flesh, but mostly teeth and claws. Although they are wild and dangerous creatures, it is possible to heard them towards the enemy by means of pitchforks, firebrands and the beating of loud drums. Squig herds come in teams of 2 Night Goblins and 3 Squigs, although you can take as many teams as you like to form a large unit!

Especially gallant, insane or suicidal Night Goblins like to exhibit their skills by jumping on to Squigs as the leap about. These Squig Hoppers are a terrible danger to friend and foe alike....but mostly to themselves. You may have one Hopper for every three Squigs in a unit. This blister contains 2 random Squig Hoppers.

The Orc and Goblin Battalion boxed set can either be used to provide the core of a new army or it is an excellent way of expanding your current army with some of the great new models. This boxed set contains, 20 Orcs, 20 Night Goblins, 10 Forest Goblin Spider Riders and an Orc Boar Chariot.

Orc Boar Boys are one of he most destructive units in the Orc army, with the Boars themselves doing as much damage as their Orc riders! This boxed set contains 5 Orc Boar Boyz including a Champion, Musician and Standard Bearer.

Orcs often build chariots, well that is to say they get the Gobbos to do it for them. Harness a couple of the biggest Boars they can find, well not not the Orcs....you get the idea. Then off they go into combat, the combination of Boar, Orc and a hefty platform to fight off is devastating and vey difficult to shift, even after the initial carnage. This box contains one Boar Chariot.

The power of the Waaagh! serves not only to drive the Orcs and Goblins forward in battle, but also to fuel the magic of their crazed Shamans. The Waaagh! always discharges through the most receptive mind, that of an Orc or Goblin Shaman. This boxed set contains one Orc Shaman mounted on a Boar and one Orc Shaman on foot.

Greenskin tribes are led by a Warboss - the biggest and loudest Orc - with the other greenskins following out of both respect and a desire to avoid a pummelling for not following. This amazing boxed set enables you to make one mounted Warboss and one Warboss on foot, including a variety of weapons and even a banner to form a rallying point for your troops.

At a distance, you could mistake a Wyvern for a Dragon, but there is none of the nobility of spirit of Dragons in these debased and cruel creatures. It is this mean streak together with their sheer brute strength that attract Orcs to them. In battle the Wyvern is a terrifying foe, doubly so for the fully armoured Orc Warlord mounted on it! This box contains one complete Wyvern and rider.

Even the smallest Orcs pack a great deal of bone, muscle and bloody-mindedness into a body as tall as a man and substantially broader. Orcs are tougher than any normal man, although less nimble, and far less organised, which is why Orc Bosses have to be even more brutal than the Orcs they lead. Orcs come in regiments of 10 or more Boyz. This box contains 19 Orc Boyz.

4 snap-fit Orcs. These models are ideal for adding to existing units or if you are just starting out.

River Trolls live in rivers, swamps and other dank places. They are slimy, scaly and even more smelly than your average Troll. Enemies attack a River Troll find them gagging on the unbelievable stench they give off, and often slipping in the slime. This blister contains one Troll.

Skarsnik is the chieftain of the Crooked Moon tribe and the most powerful Night Goblin Warlord in the whole of the Worlds Edge Mountains. Skarsnik is infamous amongst the greenskin race for his astonishing sneakiness. He is always accompanied to battle by his enormous and voracious pet Squig, Gobbla.

The Pump Wagon is built by Snolings in an attempt to copy the chariots of their larger greenskin brothers. Quite how the little greenies do it is a mystery. As you might expect, the Snotlings' contraption isn't all that reliable, but if it ever makes it to the enemy lines, the carnage it can cause in impressive. This box contains one complete Pump Wagon.

Snotlings combat abilities leave something to be desired, but there are an awful lot of them! Even the most destructive units can be bogged down by enough snotlings. Units of snotlings range in size from 2 to 10 bases. This blister contains 2 bases of snotlings.

Stone Trolls live in mountainous regions and eat far too many rocks. As a result their bodies tend to be stony and rather solid. This makes Stone Trolls all but immune to the effects of magic. This blister contains one complete Stone Troll.
