What can kill an Arachnarok spider

The stats for this thing blow my mind, im mean really
8 Poisoned Attacks at Strength 5, 8 forest goblin attacks, then a thunder stomp, wow !
8 wounds, toughness 6 and a 4+ armour save, a movement of 7
Plus it can have a slinger(catapault), or can be a mount for a great goblin shaman(catchweb shrine will give him the loremaster special rule)
What can kill this thing really!?
It is gonna be impossible to kill(good thing im bilding up my orcs and gobblins)
So seriously what can kill this thing, my dad will want to know as will a lot of other players

Poison skinks, cavalry with a good armor save, ogres will all give it a good run for it's money. I expect the model to clock in around 250 points, based on Stegadons.

Whats it initiative...

The same stuff that will kill a stegadon.

Warmachines will do it. Poison - probably will have bad armor. It it's got low initiative you can Pit it. Or - assuming the kit on the goblin on top - 5 VC Wraiths should ruin it's day pretty quick as it will be able to do zero damage against them.

The lore of shadow making it toughness 3 will mean even basic foot troopers will be able to delete it.

Nothing in warhammer is 'impossible' to kill.

Dreadlord with the rerollable +1 and pendant of khaeleth:(

I am absolutely loving this model. I was kind of in the same boat as monkeyman - what can kill this thing? I think the easiest thing to get it will be war machines. Cannons will have the perfect target. I expect about three cannon balls would do the trick.

this is the coolest model i have ever seen(like i said before) cannons will probably kill it fast, good thing my dad plays dark elves who dont have cannons
Once again i will say, this is an amazing model and probably my favorite that they have made
want one so much must wait til march

Arachnarok spider is a pretty cool guy, he eats warmachines and doesnt afraid of anything

They do have crossbowmen, repeater bolt throwers, the unkillable dreadlord, and lots of access to death magic which should still help put that down.

that is true but i am going to try and keep those busy with other stuff(large units of orcs and goblins, spider riders to take care his bolt throwers etc...)

Yup. It's all about balance.

So after the preview book has hit army shelves - have you gone out and pre-ordered your 3 spiders?

birthday was yesterday asked uncle for one

Happy Bday! Welcome to the teens!
