Playstyle

Orcs and Goblins – Greenskins – are the scourge of the Old World - brutal, bullying creatures with an unquenchable love of war. Orcs are built for violence; Goblins, by contrast, are smaller but more cunning. Most Greenskins reside in the Badlands, but now Grimgor Ironhide comes south, with his ever-growing Waaagh! All the while the Empire burns…
