<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Incoming! Beastmen"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Incoming! Beastmen


In the dark places of the world, the Beastmen have been gathering in number and in February they will unleash their rage on the Warhammer world with renewed vigour. A feral army of twisted monsters, the Beastmen have inhabitant the dark forests and wild places of the world since such places existed. To lead a Beastmen army is to field vast herds of braying, brutish beasts who worship Chaos in all its forms, and who fight to level the civilised world.

This will be the first time ever that the Beastmen have had their own, completely stand-alone, army list. The forthcoming Warhammer Armies: Beastmen is full of twisted monsters old and new, and an all-new lore of magic. The Beastmen are the original inhabitants of the Old World: in February 2010 they come to reclaim it from the hands of Men.

Beastmen in mythology (Minotaurs, Satyrs and the like) are typically depicted as mostly human with animal heads/limbs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1113051.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1113051.page GMT Incoming! Beastmen

Yes but beastmen in WHFB are typically depicted as anthropomorphic animals.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1113090.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1113090.page GMT Incoming! Beastmen

No they aren't.

They're 'Beastmen', as in half-man and half-beast, not furries.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1113099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1113099.page GMT Incoming! Beastmen

They can be if you prefer that. Beastmen are a race were skin colour is not set in stone (like greenskins). The Beastmen were "pink" in 1st to 4th edition, the dark skinned beastmen originated in 5th edition when Realm of Chaos got a new box-set. The 4th edition halberd-wielding beasts were some of my first warhammer figures, on the box-lid they were painted with elf or dwarf flesh. AFAIK skin colour can depend on their patron chaos god too. Paint the skin blue or yellow and they're Tzeentchian, Red or black for Khorne etc.

It's another "sunny" cover as well. There's been a bit of a trend for these in the current army book cycle. Even the skaven cover which shows a subterranean battle, has rays of sunlight breaking in from a hole in the cavern roof.

I reckon it's so the kids don't get nightmares.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1114697.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1114697.page GMT Incoming! Beastmen
In any case, will they still have Dragon Ogres? More importantly, will I be able to get cheaper and more aesthetically pleasing Dragon Ogres for my WoC army?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1117493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1117493.page GMT Incoming!

That is a genuine question, not a criticism, by the way?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1117641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1117641.page GMT Incoming! Beastmen

That is a genuine question, not a criticism, by the way?
Supposedly:
1) Loss of the Chaos beasts. No more Dragon Ogres, no more Chaos Trolls, none of that. If it ain't a Beastman or something like that, it's gone.
2) Fluff change. Beastmen are apparently the original race on WHFB Old World now.
3) New Lore, which implies that bye-bye Marked Shamans and say hello to Lore Of Beast(men) casters.

Or basically: You're skirmishing Skaven on a 25mm base.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1117702.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1117702.page GMT Incoming! Beastmen

Especially behind him the guy with the shield right? if you ignore the shield , his right hand looks like he stabbed the leader through his torso]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1117751.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265455/1117751.page GMT Incoming!
