Comments :

Scorpions were far more fragile than i thought, the gors were easily able to put out enough 6s to wound them.

TK's curse to hold a unit in place is amazingly good, especially when you have entombed units springing up in their rear.

Gors with infinite hatred and AHWs can put out a lot of dice. 7 points for a T4 unit with infinite hatred is REALLY good.

Really need to remember fear.

TK list comes off as extremely fragile and very, very reliant on magic however.

I was the Beastmen player this was specifically my list:

Great-Bray-Shaman- Level 3 -Additional Hand Weapon -Jagged Dagger - Talisman of Endurance - 244 Beasts 
Wargor -BSB -Heavy Armor -Shield-Sword of Might 136 
30 Gor -Full command -XHW 265 
5 Ungor Raiders -Musician 33 
5 Ungor Raiders -Musician 33
Bestigorx20 -Full Command -Standard of Discipline 285 

I was a bit rusty been a few months since my last fantasy game. Question was great and walked me through and it did go fairly fast think it took about an hour maybe 2. We did have one crash and had to set up from memory after turn one. I made the noob mistake of thinking the scorpions were the "markers", as I have the old TK book and know it says to place the marker for "it came from below" so I took the Bestigor unit that direction hoping they would arrive to take them on. Then I found out that the marker thing is placed at time they roll to show up.

In terms of list advice i would say that your BSB should have a 1+ or 2+ save if he can get it. If you are going to use the shaman in a melee unit he needs protection too. And you should probably should put them on the edge of the block(less models can single them out that way)/.

Congrats! It seems like your tomb scorpions did a number on those beastmen

I'll do that with the characters next time. Against the scorpion no amount of armor save is going to save from the killing blow, so if I gave up sword of might for gnarled hide it wouldn't have made a difference.
