I really like the gor models which is why I am curious about the beastmen, but would like to know more about the army and more specifically the models I like.

Ungors - meh, not really a big fan.
Gors - the main reason I am interested in the army. Is an all gor army feasible?
Chariots - would be a big fan if they were plastic. Any suggestions on conversions?
Hounds - have their uses

Bestigors - cool models, but not a big fan of $40 for 10 of them. Not sure how well they perform on the table either.
Minotaurs - OK models. What is the best way to arm them?
Centigors - cool concept, not a big fan of the $ or model (I find it strange that all the other models have hooves and they don't ) I would probably use marauder horses with gor bodies. How do they perform on the table as well?
Razorgors - I don't think so.

Actually, I am not really interested in any of the rares, but I guess that is because I don't know anything about them, other than the giants and spawns.

I might start up another thread to describe some of the other armies. I think it would be convenient for anyone new or unfamiliar with certain armies.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2285096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2285096.page GMT Curious about beastmen GW for $15, and 2 plastic Gor/Ungor for $2.5 each. Would make for a plastic chariot for less than $20 each.

Beastmen in general are a wave of close combat wave of troops augmented/ supported by combat/magic focused heros and lords. When they hit a good run and get their primal fury rolls passed they can really ruin someones day. But if they get split up/shot down and too many bodies lost before close combat they will have rough times. But otherwise a fun army to play with if you like the theme.

I think there are a few threads from recent months wanting to outline the pros and cons of various armies. Several times. Just look for them in the older pages.

Don't knock Ungor raiders by the way. These are your only missile troops (exept for the Cygor and Moonclaw) and it's worth having a unit or two running around weakening the enemy and fouling up marches.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2286121.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2286121.page GMT Curious about beastmen

And at a similar cost as hounds they arguably are better for flexibility if you don't mind the slightly less movement range.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2286363.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2286363.page GMT Re:Curious about beastmen
I would probably use ungors over hounds, especially if they had the same cost. I am also a fan of some of those character models for beastmen as well. (Malagor, beastlord, and bray shamans)

How does their ambush rule work and what units are eligible for it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2287985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2287985.page GMT Re:Curious about beastmen http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2288179.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2288179.page GMT Curious about beastmen http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2289806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2289806.page GMT Re:Curious about beastmen http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2289855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337108/2289855.page GMT Curious about beastmen imho) and it seems that you might have some. With hounds and those chariots, you could make a lot quite cheaply!

Not that I'm pushinig the chariot spam beastmen list, although it has given me quite a hard time handling it.
