My first try at making a Minotaur Beast army. Wanting to go with big guys, namely so I don't have to paint so much.

Doombull (MOK, Great weapon, Hvy Armor)

3 x Minotaurs 5man(MOK, Great weapon)

Minotaurs 4man(MOK, xtra weapon)

4 x Chaos hounds 5dog

2 x Chaos Giant (Mutant Monstrosity)

Chaos Furies 6monster

Beast Herd 7 gor (Xtra weapon) 5 ungor

Bestigor herd 14 beast, 1 Gouge-horn MOK

the total is 2246. I considered making the army with mark of nurgle instead of Khorne, but I like the idea of the extra dispel dice.

Plan is to have the Doombull with the 4 man squad of minotaurs. The chaos warhounds will run in front of the Minotaur herds to soak up shots.

The Beast herd will take hits for the bestigors

I am really considering dropping second giant for centigors and a chariot to get some speed.

Let me know what you think, please tear it up and help me make it work

I would definately drop one if not both of the giants for some chariots, not too keen on centigors though as they're a bit lackluster in xombat, though as a flank unit to go through wood one or two units may be nice. Also i'd drop the units down to no more then 4 Mino's 5 wont ever make it into combat...

I would also suggest you add morwe dogs for shooting cover if nothing else. And its jsut an idea but since you'd be dropping the 2 giiants and 3 ogres from the units of 5 you could add some dragon ogres or more furies or somethign to tie up shooting for turns 1&2 as much as possible

Maybe I'm not understanding you, but if 5 won't make it into combat, then how will 4? Perhaps you mean that the front will have one hanging out of combat? I was looking for more Unit Strength, but I can see your point. I have always heard a giant is good to have, at the least to soak up some fire, but I will drop one to get the chariot and look into more fire soakers like you said

You understood right when i said that the one wouldnt make it into comba due to frontaget. The dogs are there to take missiles to ensure those 4 do just fine, so dont be afraid.

ok, changes made, second attempt
