New Beasts - 2000 Point Ideas

[Arguleon Veq]

I got my Beasts book today and am finding it very very hard to make a decent 2000 point list. It is the total opposite to Dark Elves, everything is over-priced and it is very hard to squeeze enough into an army to make an effective list.

Here as some ideas;

Mixed Force:

Doombull; Axes of Khorgor, Scaly Skin, Heavy Armour, Stone of Spite, Ramhorn Helm.

So this guy starts with 7 S6 Attacks, Re Rolling ALL misses, with D3 S6 Impact Hits, a 2+ Save and the ability to get an extra attack for every armour save he makes. Plus a 1 use bound spell that makes Arcane Items explode.

Slugtounge;

This guy is a decent enough caster and can devestate enemy armies before the game starts thanks to his special ability.

Moonclaw; Umbralok.

I like this guy for his stone thrower attacks and the fact he can make units stupid and can deal with light cav on his own.

Shaman; Lvl2. Herdstone.

Just an extra power dice generator. I would give him a scroll and a stone but dont want to risk that with the Doombulls item.

So 7-10 power a combat monster a 1 use bound and some nice special effects.

927 Points

12 Gors; 2xHand Weps
12 Gors; 2xHand Weps
20 Ungors; 4 Horns, Standard.
5 Hounds;
5 Hounds;
5 Ungor Raiders;
5 Ungor Raiders;
Chariot;

4 Horns can anchor my line and help protect the Shamans whilst also giving a possible extra power. Some Gors and Raiders can Ambush, the others are support units.

3 Minos; 2X Hand Weps, Shields, Standard, Champ.

Doombulls unit. The Hammer.

Cygor;

Extra magic defense plus some decent combat punch and ranged offense





Meat Cleaver Force:

Doombull; Axes of Khorgor, Scaly Skin, Heavy Armour, Many Limbs, Ramhorn Helm.

Shaman; 2 Scrolls, RAZORGOR CHARIOT.

607

12 Gors; 2xHand Weps

4 Minos; Great Weps, Shields, Banner.
3 Minos; 2X Hand Weps, Shields, Standard, Champ.

Gorgon;

Then either; Shaman + Scroll OR 2 Razorgors

Unholy Storm:

Great Shaman; Lvl4, Hunters Spear, Herdstone.
Slugtounge;
Moonclaw; Umbralok.
Shaman; Hagtree Fetish.

12 Gors; 2xHand Weps

5 Scouting Harpies;

Cygor;
Cygor;

So between 11-15 Power, 2 Stone Throwers, good magic defense, a Bolt Thrower. Then 15 Bows and 3 Ambushing units and scouting harpies to deal with enemy firepower. When the enemy reaches me I have a Chariot and 2 Cygors to try to countercharge with.
