No mention of this one but after a rather long wait for a new source book, Cubicle 7 have just published Tribes and Tribulations.

A greenskin themed source book with bonus points for a puntastic title.

I've not read any of it yet, but the breakdown is as follows:

16 pages on general gobbo background,
~8 pages each on the following tribes:
  • The Cluster Eye Tribe
  • The Broken Nose Tribe
  • The Black Mountain Boyz
  • The Stone Snakes
  • The Wolfboyz of Oglah Khan
  • Matthog's* Payswords
10 pages on trolls
8 pages on Waaagh magic
6 pages on nemeses (including Skarnsnik and Gorfang Rotgut)

From leafing through my printout, there seems to be a nice mix of fluff (some short stories and background sections) and crunch (templates for profiles, equipment and obviously magic rules). There's a full page map of the Badlands/Southern World's Edge Mountains/Western Darklands. This is a nice map, but my first critique is that I'd like this to have been a double spread with a few more callouts - maybe even making the end papers which are still The Empire/Altdorf, which to me seems a little pointless for this publication.

*Special shout out for the only greenskin tribe that know how to use apostrophes.
