THE ARMY BOOK

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. After all, Orcs and Goblins live to fight!

The Orcs are monsters—big, green-skinned monsters that loom over Men, Elves, and Dwarfs. Orcs have no traditional allies and many enemies, but these facts do little to deter the greenskins from waging war. In fact, they're generally pleased that they have constant sources of enemies to fight.

The Orcs are backed up by Goblins, their smaller cousins. What these little greenskins lack in strength and toughness they make up for in cunning and trickery, and they form an important part of the giant green horde.

When building a Warhammer army, the best place to begin is its respective Army book. These books are indispensable and not only provide you with the complete rules and army lists for your force of choice, but also guides for painting, assembling, and selecting your army. Plus, you'll learn background information you can find nowhere else.
