So here is the list I am taking for this weekends Battle of the Beasts . Great name even though I believe I am the only Beastie player. I opted against taking Morghur as last time I played him at this many points there was, in one battle, 10 different spawns, all with different wounds, trucking around the table. Very hard to keep track of lol. Khazrak and Gorthor are not worth the massive points and double hero slot IMO so I went with the generic. Chose a Beastlord over the Doombull I had originally planned for in case I run into any heavy warmachine or gunline armies. Ambush is gold against those. Also prefer Khorne as the best for its great amount of magic defence and extra attacks.
Now onto the list:
Beastlord
MoK, Trollhide Armour, Crown of Horns, Slaughterers Blade-225
->My Somewhat Immortal build as I call it If all else fails at least I can make an impressive show rolling tons of Dice
Great Bray Shaman
Lvl4, Chaos Armour, Staff of Darkotth, Power Stone-275
->Defensively Offensive caster. Most probably Beasts Lore. Hoping for the total power roll with the Power Stone at the perfect time to cast 'The Wild Call'
Bray Shaman(2 exact same build)
Lvl2, Braystaff, 2 Dispel Scrolls-166
->Running 2 of these. Most probably either 1 Beasts, 1 Death or both Death.
Wargor
MoK, BSB, Pelt of the Dark Young, Heavy Armour-149
->I opted for the +1 Magic Res armour instd of a banner. Alos gives him a 4+ save.
Wargor
MoK, Heavy Armour, Great Wepon, Rune of the True Beast-133
->Kind of an experiment. May be good if challenged by an Elf on a Dragon (Expecting a few of those)
CORE
18 Khorngors
FC w/Vitriolic Totem-318
->Both Wargors here...possibly Beastlord as well depending on opponent.
10 Gors/8 Ungors
FC-137
10 Gors/8 Ungors
FC-137
5 Gors/5 Ungors
Musi-60
5 Gors/5 Ungors
Musi-60
5 Gors/5 Ungors
Musi-60
->Skirmish screen and baiter units.
Chariot
MoK-125
Chariot

Chariot

SPECIALS
5 Centigors
Shields, Musi-102
3 Minotaurs
MoK, Great Weapons-183
2 Trolls-110
RARE
Chaos Giant-Drool
Mutant Monstrosity-225
2 Spawn-120
->2,999pts

14 Dispel Dice
10 Power Dice

Not exactly a 'Ard list but not a pansy list either. I figure I have plenty of magic defence and enough to have a bit of offensive spell punch. May get into trouble with lack of hard hitting units but I am going to be leaning very heavily on the Khorngors. They are rock hard and have rarely let me down. Basic strategy will be straightforward rush with the herds while Giant, Spawn and Chariots flank attack. Chaos Trolls are there because i've never tried them before and was running out of Ungors
Not expecting first or second place finish but hopefully within top 5. I will be adding a Batrep blog along with creating some background fluff for the characters as well as, hopefully, some pics.

What about the Slaanesh lore for the great shaman? Lots of nasty spells in the old list.

For the small beast units (ambushing?), can you add a leader? Most of the damage from a beast herd comes from the 3 st4 attacks on the leader.

Do you have a 4th Minotaur? 3 is nice, but 4 can take a bit of damage and still be mean.

Spawn should have a mark - I'd recommend Slaanesh for the speed.

Most of these recommendations need a few points - are you a fan of the trolls? Maybe drop the trolls for the other changes?
