Most of last week, I was down in Florida for my parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary. It was a blast (except the part where I got stung by a jellyfish...one of the more painful experiences of my life). On the way back to North Carolina, I got to spend some time looking over the 8th Edition book and making up some lists. My Dark Elves and Bretonnians remain in flux, as I haven't quite gotten the points down yet, but I'm going to try the following for my Beastmen:
Beastlord with Heavy Armor, Shield, Gnarled Hide, Ramhorn Helm, Sword of Battle, Talisman of Preservation - 249 points.
Great Bray Shaman, Level Four with Power Stone. - 255 points.
Gorebull BSB with Heavy Armor, Enchanted Shield, Dawnstone, and Sword of Battle - 218 points.
Bray Shaman, Level 2 with Feedback Scroll 160
25 Gors with Additional Hand Weapons and Full Command -225 points.
25 Gors with Additional Hand Weapons and Full Command -225 points.
15 Ungor with Full Command - 90 points.
15 Ungor with Full Command - 90 points.
5 Ungor Raiders - 30 points.
5 Ungor Raiders - 30 points.
5 Ungor Raiders - 30 points.
5 Ungor Raiders - 30 points.
Ghorgon - 275 points.
5 Minotaurs with Additional Hand Weapons - 295 points.
5 Minotaurs with Additional Hand Weapons - 295 points.
Beasts were tough just because of how expensive everything can be. I'm going to try to turn my GBS into a Dragon, and have multiple targets for my opponent to worry about. I'm excited to get a chance to use this list as soon as possible.
I question your plan about turning the GBS into a dragon. It is fun to do once, but as soon as your opponent knows about it, he will dispell it and then your GBS is stuck in base contact with something that he probably cannot deal with by himself.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely take the Hagtree Fetish. If you get Viletide, which you can guarantee with a lvl. 4 and a lvl. 2. You will destroy warmachines, on average, with one spell.
I play Beastmen as well, and I'm having the same problems working out lists.
ReplyDeleteIn my area, I'm doing okay against Orcs and Daemons but not at all against VC. I can't make any conclusions yet since our games are still lower points levels, but it's interesting to see where you're taking it.

too lazy to add, is this at 2500 or 2250?
ReplyDeleteIt seems like Shane is upping things to 2500 now. I reworked my demons at that, and they are nasty.
I am just curious if you had someone pee on you to cure your jellyfish stings :)
