Default Re: beasts 2000 pts list

first of all, in my last post i said the besti/khorngors should be 20-25 minimum. that was wrong, i was originally going to write 20 min, then changed it and didn't delete the word minimum.

beastmen chariots are pound for pound the best in the game. but if you only have one and the opponent gets a lucky cannon hit or any S7 hit, it is gone. worth reconsidering.

as for the characters, i have mocked up some suggested combos you might want to consider:

Beastlord w/ Armour of Damnation, Crown of Horns, Shield, Great Weapon, MoK = 204

Wargor w/ Standard, Heavy armour, Beast Banner, MoK = 184

Wargor w/ Chaos Armour, Shield, Great Weapon, Coller of Khorne, MoK = 136

Wargor w/ Pelt of the Dark Young, Dark Heart, Heavy Armour, Shield, Great Weapon, MoK = 155

basically i think that armour of tortured souls is overpriced and that Damnation or Dargan is a better investment

as for things like the Scimitar of Skulkar or great fang i shall try to explain better why i think a Great Weapon wins out for me:

the great weapon means that a beastlord can kill chariots single handedly, is 9 points cheaper than skulkar, only automatically stikes last in second round (which you don't want to get into anyway) and the enemy will only receive his armour save anyway if his armour is 2+ (3+ if the great weapon is wielded by a wargor) and even then they are reduced to 6+!

as for the banner bearer, it is personal choice whether he is worthwhile (i use one), but due to the nature of the beasts army, they can be very spread out which reduces the efficacy of the army standard bonus

just a few thoughts
