I agree. Sooner you can get your big stuff in game the better for you. Maybe you could find some chariots cheap on eBay or swap shop...

The updated warscroll for the tuskgor chariot has the keywords (chaos, gor, ungor, brayherd, tuskgor chariot) Can it be used to fill the requirements for gor/ungor on the formations?

@Uriels_Flame

I will go for a box of Bullgors then! Though I really do like the look of the Bestigors, maybe I should just get both haha
I will keep my eye out for cheap chariots. If they come painted (badly) is there a way to remove the paint and start fresh?

@Wargington

Are you referring to the Chaos Grand Alliance Warscrolls? (Which the Beastmen are included).

Tuskgor Chariots are made up of a Bestigor and Ungor crew...and Tuskgor Chariots read as "A unit of Tuskgor Chariots has any number of models". Are you thinking a unit of chariots can take the place of a unit of Gors/Ungors...I am not sure.

Veterans! What do you think?

Tuskgor Chariots are not battleline, if that is what you mean.

Though they have a hero on chariot which would make sense to let them be and then I would be doing a total chariot army myself

Simple Green soak for about 3 days will remove any bad paint and not hurt the plastic/metal.

Ahh nice, thanks for the tip!

I see some people are selling some Beastmen on Ebay, but the paint jobs are not that great :/ - haha though I am sure I will be even worse once I get started.

For the wildstalker formation you need 4 ungor units. I only have 3 :( But... I do have a chariot. I'm wondering if a chariot can count as an ungor unit since it has the keyword.

No. Aside for a few exceptions, a Battalion list what units are required for the Battalion, not what keywords the models must have.

Another box of ungors it is :(

The furious brayherd warscroll battalion is much like the wildstalker, but requires fewer models. Same rules with a shorter range on the beastlord/shaman ability, but loses the ambush one.

As for using chariots because they have Ungor keyword...you can swap in Malagor for the Great Bray-Shaman as they have the same keyword (just like the example in the FAQ with Skarsnik)...however the keyword needed is Ungors (which Ungors have) and not just Ungor (which is what the chariots have). The battalion is formed in such a way that its construction is fairly straightforward, would be nice though and I'll admit that is only my interpretation.

I think you have good ideas. My 2 cents would be to pick a grand alliance that your like the most of and stick with that, so you can always build and branch out as opposed to having to buy a whole new army from scratch if you change grand alliance.
