At this point level you are possibly over-spending on characters.

Also you can't just upgrade 10 of the 20 gors to have AHWs. Either they are all upgraded or none. Same goes for the minotaurs. Even if you choose to give the champ a magic weapon the you still have to pay for his GW if his two buddies are getting them even despite the fact that he then isn't allowed to use it.

I'm not a beastmen player... However I'd suggest dropping the beast lord, making the 2 gor units a single 30 man unit and picking up some hounds to use as ablative cover for the other units you take. With the spare points you could pick up some more Minos, or perhaps a chariot? Spawn can also be fun in low point games.

Warhammer is the right of all sentient nerds!

I agree with pretty much everything alex87 just said. I myself am not a Beastmen player anymore, the last time I used them was two editions ago so what I have to say is just general advise.

I know you have access to 500pts of characters at 1k (250 lords + 250 heroes) but you should always try and limit yourself to around 300pts tops otherwise your simply spending far to many points that you are simply not going to make back with them. In the case of Beastmen I am aware that they have leadership issues and I understand your choices but honestly drop the Beastlord and use the extra points to seriously bulk up your units. Then change the Wargors gear so that he has a Standard of Discipline and the best armour save you can get him though mundane means then put him and the Bray Shaman in the same unit, I'm assuming the Shamans leadership is 7 so at least then it would be buffed to 8. Either way so long as your units stay close you'll get the BSB reroll which should be good enough even if its only bumped up to leadership 7.

With the freed up points fix your units equipment that alex87 mentioned and then get a minimum unit or two of ungor raiders, they can serve as chaff and/or as a harassment unit. I would put the gor units together or bulk one up to at least 30 so it can serve as your main anvil. If you have any extra points get some more Minotaurs because a unit of three are just going to die even as a flanking unit, ideally they should be your hammer unit.
