Curious, when using the Forest Goblins for shooting from the Arachnarok Spider, do we measure from the Howdah or the base of the unit?

I would measure from the base of the model. When firing from other models, you do the same, its just that the visual distance is not as dramatic.

Base of the model just like any other shooting model (sometimes I wish it was gun barrel and I could build my handgunners to have a 8" barrel )

Ok thanks. That sounds about right. Can be representative of the Goblins running around the Howdah, running up and down the carcass and legs of the spider and even around the spider making attacks as they may. Ok, so from the base. ;D

Or maybe their elevated position gives them that extra bit of range

Yes, I'd measure from the base as well.

RAW speaking you never get a choice the rules for shooting are quite clear and only (baseless) warmachines get to be special.
