A close second on the badassery scale to Druchii, Goatmen

Post by Taijushue »

I have decided to put my dark elves up for a bit and try something different, trying to get my bret opponent some wins. Right now I am looking into beastmen, I know they are outdated but I love the concept of them, thanks to universal battle I can try them out and see if they work with my style of play before I spend 1k+ building another army.

I started a 1.5k battle last night wasnt able to finish before it got to late. I am starting to figure out how their units work and getting used to their special rules. This first battle will most likely end in a draw, with 2 turns left I dont think I can physically catch enough of his units to get enough pts.

While bored at work today I put together a 3k list that I will tweak and refine once I am home and have the Army book to flesh out my magic items.

3k BEASTMEN
Lords: 583ish
Beastlord 248 w/items
lvl 4 (debating on death or beasts) 335 w/items
Heroes: 516
lvl 2 shadow herdstone 160
lvl 2 shadow chalice 150
bsb beast banner (+1S to unit) 2+ armor 206
Core: 754
Chariot 80
Chariot 80
28 gors ahw FC 249
28 gors ahw FC 249
6 ungor raiders 36
10 ungor raiders (bunker for lvl 2) 60
Special: 1102
5 harpies (scout) 70
5 harpies (scout) 70
1 razorgor 55
1 razorgor 55
26 bestigors fc +1ld banner (general and lvl 4 go here) 357
9 Minos 495


Once I am home and can double check points I will either fill the remaining points with FC for the minos or a few units of hounds.....

From what I know about beastmen (which is next to nothing) I can tell that *it needs moar chariots*

I'd say at least a third of the army in chariots... so in 3k that's 1k worth of chariots... 12 core chariots!
