It is usually ok to proxy them as other troops?

What could beastmen be used as?

I guess in the case of Stormcast, since the miniatures are similar guys with hammers it is quite easy to proxy...

[Whoops, wrong info]

Depends entirely on your opponent really. Most of the Sacrosanct range can proxy anything else. Sequitors as Liberators, Evocators as a coven and so on.

Why do you need to proxy them as anything?
Right now Beastmen are as valid an AoS force as any other.

This summer they'll switch to Legends - and still be just as valid as any other AoS force.
Unless you're tourney bound....

You are damn right. I do not play competitive but some locals might be "picky", I am going to ask them....

I am rather itchy to make some Savage Ironjawz with Bonesplitterz riding the big pigs.

from the Age of Sigmar Lexicanum

The Icebone believe that the boars of the Tundras are descendants of the godbeast Shattatusk, who Gorkamorka once sought to ride into battle and whose shattered tusk formed the great spirit-glaciers of the region. The boars are therefore sacred beasts, and Icebone orruks often try to tame (or at least ride) them in order to prove their worthiness.[2a]
