Hey, I'm starting beasts of chaos, and was wondering if, using the following models, I could make a decent low point list.
I have ordered, 3 beast herds, one unit of warhounds of chaos, and one beast lord. How big of a tribe of beastmen do you think I can muster, not fully maxing everything out, but just ya know, using some upgrades. I dont want to be min/maxing everything.

I'd go for something like this;
12 Gors - Two Hand Weapons,
8 Ungors - Spears and Shields; 159 Points
Full Command.
12 Gors - Two Hand Weapons,
8 Ungors - Spears and Shields; 159 Points
Full Command
5 Gors - Two Hand Weapons,
5 Ungors - Spears and Shields; 80 Points
Foe Render.
6 Hounds; 36 Points
Wargor; 68 Points
Great Weapon,
Heavy Armour.
Total - 502 Points[/b]
It gives you a lot of tough, easy to use models in such a low point game that all pack a good combat punch whilst the Hounds give you a bit of extra speed and can pick off Empire Detatchments, Elf Archers, War Machine crews etc.

What does the foe render rule do? I dont have any books yet, I still have to pick them up at the shop. And thanks for the list, I'll probably go with this first, since * I think* we are going to do some escalation campaign type stuff.

He is just a champion for the unit, although he is better than champions in most other armies.

wouldnt that small herd though be subject to lots of shooting and be wiped out quickly? It just seems that might happen, or is it so small peopel will usually ignore it

Beat herds are hard to shoot down, -1 to hit because they skirmish, plus some T4 Gors.

Alright, due to moey constraints, I wont be purchasing all of the above unit i have stated. Instead, I will be getting
1 x beastlord
2 x beast herd units
1 x tuskgor chariot
along with the army book, and the rule book. After this purchase, I will be flat broke. but it's worth it! So, do you think this will work well together in a 500 point? or will i not have enough?

Should be fine.
Tuskgor Chariots are great.
Just give your Hero a magic weapon and you'll have around 500 points still.
The Chariot is probably a better choice than the hounds anyway.

Alright, thanks. It is cheaper also, I'm only going to be about a few dollars off, but the guy I buy them from gives major discounts for big orders anyways.

I just got all my stuff today, and was wondering about a rule. It says I can have a magic weapon, but not any other. So does that mean I cant give him an extra CC weapon?

Thats correct, you cant use an additional hand weapon if you use a magic weapon.
