Hi guys. I'm really getting into Fantasy at the moment, and I'm trying to pick my army/ies (got it down to 5...might just do all of em...)
I love Orcs and Goblins, but like the forest goblin/savage Orc/spider side of it all and I threw together a list that is literally all spiders. Now I don't really know what I'm doing in terms of list building, it's not my strong suit in any game, but I was wondering if an all spider list is actually viable in any way? I know it's not gonna be super competitive, but will I just lose every game?

Here is my list:

+++ Spiderssss (2500pts) +++
++ Orcs & Goblins - Army Book (2013-4) -V8.8.2. (End Times) (2500pts) ++

+ Lords (758pts) +

Goblin Great Shaman: Lore of da Little Waaagh!, Wizard Level 4
····Arachnarok Spider
····Magic Items: Fencer's Blades, Talisman of Preservation
Goblin Warboss: Shield
····Gigantic Spider
····Magic Items: Armour of Destiny, Ruby Ring of Ruin, Sword of Striking

+ Heroes (526pts) +

Goblin Big Boss, Light Armour, Shield, Spear, Gigantic Spider
Goblin Big Boss, Light Armour, Shield, Spear, Gigantic Spider
Goblin Big Boss, Light Armour, Shield, Spear, Gigantic Spider
Goblin Big Boss, Light Armour, Shield, Spear, Gigantic Spider
Goblin Big Boss, Light Armour, Shield, Spear, Gigantic Spider
Goblin Big Boss, Light Armour, Shield, Spear, Gigantic Spider, BSB, Standard of Discipline

+ Core (636pts) +

29 Forest Goblin Spider Riders with bows, Musician and Standard Bearer
15 Forest Goblin Spider Riders with bows

+ Rare (580pts) +

Arachnarok Spider

The Goblin bosses on Gigantic Spiders will form a monstrous cav unit. In terms of improvements, I'd like to stick to the Savage theme, so Savage orcs are okay, but not really anything outside of that kind of theme.

Thanks for any help guys.

I'm guessing it's probably really crap on the table though right?

One of the Wizards is only level 3

I feel like I have to actually build this army. It would look incredible... I had it in my head it would be crap but maybe it could work...

Level 3 still gets you access to the end times spells, thats whats important.

also means you can summon arcane fulcrums. would be hilarious watching people trying to shift an araknrok off a fulcrum when it has a 3+ ward, cannot suffer mutli wounds and can only be attacked by 1 model at a time.

even malekith on his dragon would need 2-3 turns to do it.

I say go for it mate!
