I like Goblins, particularly Forest Goblins, so here's a list of stuff I have that's painted (mostly) and is pure Goblin (except for the River Trolls, who I assume would like living in a swampy forest with the Goblins and spiders?). I have no idea what this would play like as I've never had a game of 8th, but that will soon be rectified and I might just play this list.
Lords
Goblin Great Shaman [555pts]: Lore of da Little Waaagh!, Wizard Level 4 . Arachnarok Spider . . Arachnarok Spider: Catchweb Spidershrine . Magic Items: BRB - Talisman of Preservation
Goblin Warboss [221pts]: Light Armour, Shield . Gigantic Spider . Magic Items: BRB - Crown of Command, BRB - Gold Sigil Sword, BRB - Trickster's Helm
Heroes
Goblin Big Boss [59pts]: Light Armour, Shield . Giant Spider . Magic Items: BRB - Charmed Shield
Goblin Big Boss [151pts]: Additional Hand Weapon, Light Armour, Shield . Battle Standard Bearer: AB - Spider Banner (Goblin BSB only)
Snagla Grobspit [115pts]: AB - Fangspike . Giant Spider
Core
Deff Creepers [170pts]: Boss, Musician, Standard Bearer . 10x Deff Creepers: 10x Short Bows
Forest Goblin Spider Riders [198pts]: Boss, Musician, Standard Bearer . 12x Forest Goblin Spider Rider: 12x Short Bows
Goblins [260pts]: Boss, Musician, 3x Nasty Skulker, Standard Bearer . 50x Goblin: 50x Shields, 50x Spears
Rare
River Trolls [270pts]: 6x River Troll
Total: 1,999pts

Absolutely give it a go, playing pure goblins is playing on hard mode but there's nothing wrong with that.
My first sense is you have nearly half your points in 2 goblin characters (ie not very good characters). Great Shaman on Arachnaroks, and wizards on monsters in general, give you a problem because you dying want the Shaman fighting but you do want the spider fighting. Probably best running them separately.
Could probably do with squeezing in some war machines if you have any

Thanks for the feedback. I put the shaman on the Spider so I had room for River Trolls in the list. I know I could play them as normal Trolls but I feel like River Trolls fit the theme of the army better.

Hey man great list, I have been trying to come up with a spider list also, haha!
River trolls are very cool, and I agree that they fit the theme better. I am just wondering though, what rules are you using for creating a roster? Are they the end times ones? I only ask because your Lords choice is over the 25% limit of 2000 points.

Interesting, I used Battlescribe. I thought that would tell me if that happened.

Yeah just had a look, I'm using normal rules in Battlescribe, guess it must be wrong. That's the end of that list then!

Nice list, the thing with gobbos is there's lots of them so always try and outnumber your opponent if you can. Only other thing is what is your goblin Warboss's job, is it to kill stuff or stick around?

I see what you're going for. Might I suggest one of two ideas, swapping the gold sigil sword and crown of command for a ward save or swapping crown of command for the potion of strength. You will most likely be steadfast due to having more ranks. And if your Warboss is in a unit the potion of strength and initiative 10 can catch out enemy characters.
