Well looks like beastmen can now take dragon ogors lol.

It is a shame there are no new miniatures, like decent chaos hounds, or better minotaurs.

those kits will stay around for a while, as they are unlikely high sellers, I was expecting a new morghur in all honestly as a big new character.

Minotaurs are beautifull. I have the 5 mierce ones+hero+9 gw ones+doombull.
And GW has just gave me an excuse to buy a box of tzaangors and dragon ogres. Thanks, Roundtree.

I hope we can play full Minotaures, maybe they will be battleline if the general is a Minotaure Lord...

Twisting catacombs Minotaures could make an army of their own in AoS

Sad that it wasn’t the return of the Chaos Dwarves.

Maybe someday...

Doubly sad that the plastic Minotaurs are going to showing up again in official GW pics - maybe they’ll get a better paint job this time around?

No Centigors in the army picture, but hopefully those are back in.

It’s been way too long coming that there’s a decent way to play a beastmen army as a beastmen army.

This Battletome deals with more than just the brayherds, it compiles many of the bestial creatures of Chaos into a single unholy tome including Bullgors, Dragon Ogors, Tzaangor and more besides.

Bolded was unexpected, but very, very much welcome.

From the lore standpoint, Tzaangors hate regular beastmen because they are so over the top savage, so I thought they would remain a part of DoT. The combination of the other factions was getting me excited enough, but now I have a reason to paint my Tzaangor Skyfires and their Shaman!

One can hope: Slaangors...

Spoiler:

YES! Man I hope they do allow for Minotaur led armies. I’ve got enough minotaurs to do it, and that’s just more interesting to me than a bunch of beastmen. TC, Mierce, scibor, have all made amazing 3rd party minotaur models, so we’re spoiled for choice for models. I’d love rules for a minotaur magic user as well.

Agreed. I’d love to see CD come back, but at least they have some representation in the rules thanks to the FW stuff. It would be a bit silly for them to get a reboot before slaanesh makes a full come back imo. I would buy them though!

I think the current plastic minotaurs are fine, but the do need better paint jobs. They and the beastmen have WAY too much flesh showing imo. I paint all mine as though they have a ‘thin layer of fuzz’, so they don’t look like a bunch of naked bodybuilders... I feel the Shaggoth (or whatever it’s called now), needs an update badly, as I’ve never liked that model. The beast boars could use updates as well. Plus, I’m a little sad we have yet to see pestigors, khornigors, and slaanagors yet, since those tzaanagors are amazing!

Interesting seeing an army highlighting metal/finecast models (group shot shows a beastlord, shaggoth and jabberslythe).

As someone with a large pile of centigors, I'm hoping they are tied in and are solid.

Hopefully they repurpose Ghorros as a generic centigor hero, and bring Morghur back in some way (that model is awesome).

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of Twisting Catacombs/ Zealot's Minotaurs as soon as they saw that Herdstone.

Here's to hoping for Minotaur- strong armies as well!

I already loaded up on Mierce Miniatures minotaurs during one of their 50% off metals sales...I just need to come up with a musician conversion for the mierce minotaurs.

So.. where are goblins? :(

Usually behind you...... maybe soon but with few/no new models?

They will receive at least a few models. All new/updated battletomes with spellcasters were confirmed to receive unique endless spells with their battletomes back when they did the Malign Sorcery reveal on Warhammer TV.

I think goblins will get a larger release to exaggerate the fungusness- I am making assumptions of course, but it makes sense to me that some cave style goblins arrive in the same style as the Cave Shaman and the previewed troggoth.

So I'll be able to use all my Beastmen, eh? All "however many were in the gor+ungor box set" of them!

Beastmen are so cool but always lacked something in the model department. Be it being a metal only range, to nice infantry but no other units in plastic to finally "oh god it's in plastic but as bad as the plastic rat ogres kit and the cool stuff got finecasted". The minotaurs are just BAD and I dislike the scaly parts of the dragon ogres as well. I was close to starting an army in 6th, but Centigor and Khorngor price stopped my teen self. New releases were sadly never as good as the big standard gors. I might get a few more infantry beastmen to buff what I have to useable size as an allied unit and the endless spells to convert them into other Nurgle stuff, but I won't start a new army.

Unless those minotaurs posted above come out soon. They'll soon be done with KS orders and sell those amazing cows, right? Please? I could use a 3 cow unit, maybe more.

Pestigors?

I assume goblins are coming later with a bigger release, yeah. We've seen that fungus troll previewed. I hope they take the chance to recombine some more factions and include spiderfang in there.

The fact that they're apparently willing to do more "Legions of Nagash"-style recombining makes me hopeful that one for Skaven is coming. That's a group that's currently broken up to the point of absurdity.

This is the type of book you'd want to see after Khorne and Slaanesh got their coming 'upgrades', as it would mean that the benefits of (potential) new Beastmen, like the Tzangors, would filter through to this new book.

Sadly it's coming out before then, which means Beastmen will be frozen in stasis for another cycle.

And no plastic Shaggoth. That's a shame, 'cause as awesome as that model is it'd be nice to have a big new super-duper plastic one. They could even do it like the GUO kit and include a special character (Kholek Suneater, naturally!).

Not really. As long as they include the correct keyword with the potential new beastmen than it works just fine.

They need it.

The herdstone is cool, but you gotta build your own. And add trophies after each game if you defeat your opponent. It's tradition.

I hope more armies get books like this or Legions of Nagash. I think it'd be a really good thing if all the splinters of factions were made whole again.

Those mini's are great any everything, but is there a way to obtain the mini's outside the kickstarter? I passed on them when the kickstarter was active because AoS was going through a bit of a lapse in my area and now I don't see them on the the company's store. :(

Any potential new god-aligned beastmen might be errata-ed in. See how they put some of the new Nighthaunt stuff into Legions of Nagash via errata.

My point is I think that this makes "potential new beastmen" a less likely thing.

This Beasts of Chaos book is excellent news. I painted one unit of them Tzaangor and hated them so much they got shelved. They may get some table time as part of a Beasts army now.

The Ghorgon/Cygor model has a ton of options, it would be cool if they made a character or named model with a certain build from it.

I don't think it does, under the current paradigm. GW won't shy away from putting Slaangors or whatever they are called into the Super Dooper Slaanesh Tome and making them usable by Beasts of Chaos despite not being in that book. Warscrolls being scattered all over the place is a normal thing for AoS.

The KS is still in the process of delivering, I'd expect to see them in the Zealot store once it's complete
