Arachnitids

Arachnitids are apparently an unpleasant race of spiders from early Warhammer Fantasy lore, quickly discontinued. It's possible that they were reworked into Arachnorok Spiders. They've been found in passing mention in older web articles from years ago, but other than that, the creator of this article has found nothing besides literally 2 mentionings of them in comments from 2008 on Warhammer related forums. Their name sounds similar to Tyranid, so maybe that's a clue? Maybe they were the faction of the Forest Goblin Spider Riders before the Greenskins themselves were lumped in with them? Also, more recent Warhammer Fantasy RPG supplements refer to Giant Spiders as "Arachnidus" titanicus. It could be a mistranslation. Of course, Arachnitids sounds like Tyranids, and in Oldhammer days, Squigs were a type of Tyranid, along with the Warhammer Fantasy world being located in the Warhammer 40K galaxy as a lost Feudal World. It's entirely possible Arachnitids we're the odd Spidery-Squigs with Orc faces and a single horn that the old Forest Goblins used to ride. File:PossibleArachnitidRider.jpg
