Warhammer Orcs & Goblins 1.6 (beta) out now!

Coming in at a whooping 103 pages, this is by far the longest of the new army lists. In order to make it easier to navigate, the book has been divided up by greenskin type, so you will find everything in order of Common Orc, Savage Orc, Black Orc, Common Goblin, Night Goblin, Forest Goblin and Miscellaneous units, with Special Characters at the end as usual. This update contains a lot of new units, both from Age of Sigmar but also 5th edition, along with multiple new weapon options for your units (mostly from 5th edition). There are also a bunch of new magic items available for you to tailor your characters, as well as additional spells that gives you more options than ever before! Hope you enjoy the updated rules, and many thanks to my Patreon backers for your continued support!
