Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here we are.

I've been looking at starting Beastmen for my first Fantasy Army... Yeah, apparently hard to play, but I like the models.

Onto the question.
Can the Beastmen take Dragon Ogre's in their army?
I've read here and there that they can, but not sure if that's old rules or not.

No but they have centigors, who are simillar in looks (but cooler looking IMO).

**Danzag**

Thanks for the quick response

Yeah I don't mind the Centigors.
Was just looking at units with a fair bit of punch behind them.
From what I've read (apart from Minotaurs and Giant/Ghorgon/Other weird thing) apparently they don't have much to stop say, a Lord on a Dragon from just cutting swaths through their ranks?

**HoverBoy**

They have chariots, imapct hits are nice.

**nosferatu1001**

Good job lords on dragons are fairly rare then

Also bear in mind you are steadfast against the dragon as long as you have at least 5 models in a rank, it isnt so much of a problem as it used to be. If you are a very deep unit you can often tarpit a big monster for the game, or set up for a countercharge with something meatier!

**Danzag**

Ahhk cool.
I'm really new to Fantasy and all the different rules and stuff so still learning a lot.

I like the Chariots.
I assume the idea with them is to put a big hitting lord in it and charge it into something and hopefully massacre them?

**nosferatu1001**

Or just using waves of cheap chariots - the combined impact hits can really hurt units, softening them up for your infantry.
