Beastlord:
|
A great fighty character for a cheap pricetag. Granted he's only LD8, but that's as good as it gets unless
you want to spend big on the Doombull. I give this guy Chaos Armor, Great Weapon, and MoSlaanesh. His main
job is to be where ever one extra point of LD will help the most. I've found it's a bad idea to throw him
into one of the Beast Herds. They then lose some of their tactical ability (i.e. the flee reaction, or their
'throw-away' status), and it has rarely ended good. He most often accompanies the Bestigor in the center
of the battle line.

Wargor:

This Applies to lists under 2,000 points:
So far my plan has been to keep this guy as cheap as possible in order to get more beasties in the list.
I only equip him with Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, and Mark of Chaos Undivided. That keeps his points cost
just under 70, which is a good deal for the damage he can deal out. I'm afraid to invest any more in him
due to his rediculously low Leadership. As soon as I shell out for some nice magic items, he'll be getting
run down every game. It may not be a bad idea to give him the Chaos Armor, but for now he's alright. There
really aren't any good tactics that beyond putting him where you need to punch to discuss. I generally just
put him in a big Beast Herd where he fills the role of a second, more powerful, unit champ. That also keeps
my opponent from lowering the Herd's Leadership by killing the unit champ.

Wargor - BSB:
|
Again, I try to keep this guy as cheap as possible to be effective. He gets Heavy Armor, MoSlaanesh (so he can
join the Bestigor), and a War Banner. With that minimal equipment, he costs only 2 points less than the
Beastlord! There are other things I would like to try with this guy, most notably the Beasts Banner, but
for now he's been effective like this.

Bray Shaman:

My earlier predictions about this guy proved well founded. He is most effective as a scroll caddy. I've tried
and tried, but I just cannot make him work as a level 2. Even against a DE army with absolutely no anti-magic,
I could barely get a spell off. My luck with magic is just too pathetic. His current armament is Bray Staff,
MoCU, and 2 Dispel Scrolls. His job in the game is to skulk around and not die, which he isn't very good at I
might add!

FUTURE IDEAS/CONSIDERATIONS
|
|
Doom Bull:
|
This fellow shows some promise. Leadership 9 is a bonus as long as I can keep my other troops in close
proximity. Making other Minotaur Core choices means my list will have well over 1,000 points of core troops
as well. He's also a great fighter, and one sweet model! I'm very eager to give this guy a go. I've
recently written up the list I'll use, now I just have to build/convert the model to my liking!

Shaggoth Champion:
|
A very intriguing idea, but at quite a price tag. I really like the fluff behind the idea of using
this guy a the army general. A ton of beasts following this guy into battle somehow appeals to me.
Couple him with a Chaos Giant, and you've got some really intimidating monsters on yer side. I may give it
a try as I have the model, but it'll be a while.
