The Orc & Goblin Tribes are on the march, and with them comes a wealth of new content in the form of the Arcane Journal. In this 48-page tome, players will find expanded background on the Orcs and Goblins, introducing two new special characters and two unique Armies of Infamy that offer fresh ways to play with existing miniatures.
One of the highlights of the journal is the exploration of Troll magic, tapping into the inherent chaos and power of these mystical creatures. Trolls, with their regenerative abilities and connection to the Winds of Magic, offer a unique and unpredictable element to the game (mainly due to Stupidity). The Troll Horde army, led by characters like Ogdruz Swampdigga, combines the brute force of Trolls with the cunning of Orc Shamans, providing players with a formidable yet unconventional force to command.
The Nomadic Waaagh! army, on the other hand, focuses on fast-moving Goblin Wolf Riders, offering players the opportunity to field highly mobile and versatile units that can harass enemy flanks or deliver devastating charges with their swift movement and agility.
Magic in the Old World is not limited to scholarly wizards; it is a natural force that certain magical creatures can tap into instinctively. Troll magic, in particular, offers a different approach to spellcasting, with spells that synergize with Troll units and offer new strategic options for players.
Looking ahead, the team behind Warhammer: The Old World has ambitious plans to continue expanding the game and reintroducing classic factions. With nine core factions to bring back, including plans for new miniatures and books for the next several years, the project is set to continue evolving and growing for the foreseeable future.
Despite the challenges of bringing back such a vast array of miniatures and content, the team is committed to the project and aims to keep the world of the Old World alive for years to come. With a clear vision and dedication to quality, Warhammer: The Old World promises to be an enduring and beloved addition to the Warhammer universe.
