The List:

Lords:
Great Bray-Shaman (Beasts): Lvl 3, Talisman of Preservation 245pt

Heroes:
Wargor: BSB, Hvy Arm, Beastbanner, AHW, 200pt

Core:
Gors x40: AHW, Full Command, 345
Ungor Raiders x5, 30
Ungor Raiders x5, 30

Special:
Bestigors x10, Full Command, 150

Total: 1000pt

I'll probably pick up some more Gors later on in the week, but this is the list I'll be using for the first few games. If you could make some suggestions on how to head next it would be appreciated.

Welcome to the herd. I am also a new beast general. I like it, I think the 10 Beastigors however are a little light. With great weapons they strike last so you are already looking at not having 2 full ranks not striking back.

Lord is solid at this level, though you could add a hand weapon to make him more killy with beast banner and buffs you can rack up some kills so Jagged Dagger might be nice, especially lacking the herdstone/shaman spam for power dice.
BSB is cool, I would add a shield, 2 pts for +1AS and Ward Save in combat is a must. Gnarled hide is cool too at 15 pts this with the heavy armor and shield gives you a 2+ armor save.
Gors are awesome.
Raiders are cool.

Here is my 1k list:
Great-Bray-Shaman -Additional Hand Weapon -Jagged Dagger -Talisman of Endurance - 244
Wargor -BSB -Heavy Armor -Shield -Gnarled Hide -The Beast Banner - 206
Gor Herdx40 -Full Command -Additional Hand Weapons - 345
Ungor Raidersx6 -Musician - 38
Razorgor - 55
Razorgor - 55
Harpiesx5 - 55

If you are looking like I am to save some cash you can convert razorgors using boars from boar boys/savage boar boyz and bits from Chaos Spawn and Harpies can be converted as well a variety of ways. As you get higher in points you'll want about 2 Razorgor and 10 harpies on hand 2 run 2 units of 5 for war machine hunting and tying up units for a turn while your gor handle other units, typical divide and conquer. Razorgor are good for the same, as well as flanking and wizard hunting directing all attacks at a wizard and they get stomp attacks.

GBS wont be affected by the beast banner, its just the bearer and the unit

As long as he's in the same unit as the Banner Bearer, the GBS would most certainly be subject to the banner.

Book says bearer and unit he joins, it usually says and accompanying characters for when its all inclusive but maybe its been faq'd

Nopw hasnt been FAQ'd

Page 99 of the rulebook: Whilst a character is part of a unit, both he and the unit (including any other characters that have joined that unit) are treated as a single combined unit for all rules and purposes...

and Page 100: Special Rules.....many spells and magic items bestow special rules and other effects on units. In this case, everyone (including the character) in the combined unit will be affected.
