Figured I should throw in one of the cool endless spells and the Shaggoth for a good solid wizard. I like the Jabberslythe for his crazy abilities but was wondering if anyone's tried out a Chimera at all or other monsters or hounds/razorgors. Thinking the Cygor for at least a ranged attack and an unbind. I've used a Ghorgon in the past but was underwhelmed, and spell denial is important these days.
What would the best Greatfray be for Bullgors? I am liking the Darkwalkers for some outflanking but I don't much care for the mandatory relic. If no Greatfray what other relics would be good for a choppy army like this one? And how about spells for the Shaggoth? Just gathering thoughts as I assemble some Bullgors.
I was also pondering how best to plop the Brass Despoilage into a Khorne army. Perhaps that's a better way to go, along with a Bloodstoker, Wrathmongers, and other Hero buffs and crap?
It's a darn shame Beasts can only ally with Slaves to Darkness, in which case I think a Sorcerer Lord on Steed is probably the only good allied unit for now. All the StD buffs seem geared towards 'mortals', and Beasts of Chaos don't have that keyword aside from maybe Spawn?
