So, starting up beastmen, got the battle force, some minotaurs, the plastic bray shaman.

I was writing my list, and wondered what people equip their bsb with? I was thinking the steel-claws because they seem a bargain and then the gnarled hide for some protection, but then of course I can't take those upgrades anywhere else in my army now.

Also, I am converting the brass bull for my army, and was wondering if a beastlord (for ld9) is necessary for semi-competitive play, because to have a beastlord and the brass bull is a lot of points if I want to make the lord any good. It would also mean no lvl 4 wizard for my army.

So my dilemma is such, should i take taurox and a beastlord and drop the hide on the bsb for him and have a couple lvl 2 wizards; or take taurox and a lvl 4 wizard and forget the beastlord?


Cheers

The best build we have

As for a lord, take a doombull with rerollable 1+ armor and the ASF blade in the BRB.

Give him a flank on his own and watch the Man Vs. Toddler action.

For the Beast Lord: Armor of Destiny, Crown of Command, Sword of Battle, shield
GBS: Jagged Dagger, Talisman of Preservation, Fencer's Blades and Ironcurse Icon
BSB: The 206 noted above
For herdstone, 3 level 1s maybe 1 of them a level 2 with these items each: Dispel Scroll, Chalice of Dark Rain, Shard of the Herdstone, if you want all plastic/resin go with the new plastic kit GBS, Malagor, Dark Emissary and Necromancer with a beast head the last 2 you will need 25mm bases for.
