Games Workshop Arcane Journal Orc & Goblin Tribes Rulebook Supplement

The Arcane Journal: Orc & Goblin Tribes is a supplementary rulebook for the Warhammer: The Old World tabletop wargame, published by Games Workshop. This 48-page volume provides players with expanded background material and additional rules specifically for fielding armies from the brutal badlands, focusing on the greenskin factions of Orcs, Goblins, and Trolls. It is designed to be used alongside the core Warhammer: The Old World Rulebook and the Ravening Hordes army list compendium. The book delves into the history and geography of the Badlands, the harsh homeland of these tribes. It introduces two unique 'Armies of Infamy' with special rules: the Nomadic Waaagh! and the Troll Hordes. Players also gain access to background and rules for two legendary characters, Kiknik Toofsnatcha and Ogdruz Swampdigga. A narrative scenario, 'A Waaagh! Abroad', provides a classic mountain pass ambush battle for players to experience, adding depth to campaign play. The supplement allows collectors to utilise their existing Orc and Goblin miniature collections in new, thematic ways. This expansion is ideal for veteran Warhammer: The Old World players who wish to explore the greenskin factions in greater detail or add more narrative flavour to their games. It offers dedicated hobbyists new tactical options and lore, enhancing the strategic depth of battles set in the Old World. The book is a specialised resource that integrates seamlessly with the core game system, providing focused content rather than standalone rules.
