I found my WFB, now I need tip :)

[warsmith]

Hi everone

As most know I try to get a WFB army up & running. I done a WFB Chaos force which was a bit rush for last year stand in for Storm over Stirling & I am not really a fan of rush armies like that, also it is now in bits/part use in other armies.

Anyway still wanting to have a WFB force so it is there. With the release of Beastmen it make sence. I like chaos, the models are pretty cool & there a fair few conversion open.

Just to ask if people could give me advice/tips. I want to make this into my WFB tournament list since I like tournament play & I like my army to do well.

Thanks

Jamie

Well I still haven't had a chance to see the new Beastmen in action, or really had a good read of their army book, but the general feeling I get is the big guys are good and the army can get away with minimum core choices.

Best ask Donzo really.

Made a little list for the Beastmen that 2250pts

Slugtongue - 190

Shaman, Level 2, Dispell scroll, Stone of Spite - 160

Shaman, Level 2, Eye of night, Chariot - 235

20x Gor, Shield, full command - 185
20x Gor, Hand weapon, full command - 185 (ambush)

Tuskgor Chariot - 80
Tuskgot Chariot - 80

5x Raider - 30
5x Raider - 30

5 Hound - 30
5 Hound - 30

Cygor - 275

3 Minotaurs - 165

6 Harpies - 66
6 Harpies - 66

That current sit that 1807 pts. So 443 pts left

Might get some of those Ungor with Spear & shield?? & another unit for Ambush with hand weapon.
Also try get some magic banner if needed

Not sure what upgread are worth taken on the Minitors. As it like a purely WFB player trying to know the diffrent from a Lasgun to a Lascannon

Like wise have a champion ch carry a banner (still to read them) on a chariot since I have another hero spot

Possible get more Raider units or two.

Depend the pts left another Cygor?? or a Gaint??

Idea is

Slugtongue - Try get hands on that old Albion (sp) campaign GW done agies ago or try my hands that green stuffing.

Chariot, use plastic orc once

Cygor no idea but the Gaint kit will be use in some fourm.

Harpies, try my hands that converting them useing the new Nids fly monster things.

Try get some of the Wood elf Dryads, use the wood to rep rotten forest on the base since the Dryads have skull stuck in there branchies.

As said in the post bare in mind I like this to be my tournament list as I belive as long as it by the army book I will use it or battle it. Only issue I have are with the attuide of the oppent in term of are the a git or not.
As end of the day it our armies, our money & as said if it by the rule then I don't see any issue, it all about learing & improve for me to do better & up the challenge. I just find it a bit silly people refuse a game due to a unit that taken from the army book.

Also tournament will be the only time I am most like to play WFB, as I enjoy my events. Main aim for the painting side if anything else to be honsty. But I like to have a list that can stand up game wise while I learn the way of Fanstasy.

prob best get a lord in there. doombull with brass cleaver, slug skin, toughened hide and the helm, means he will have between 9 and 10 attacks and a 2/3 up save

You are actually kidding, right? Please tell me GW didn't just do that to the Beastmen book...

There is improving an army book, then there is doubling the number of attacks and tripling the armour save on something that already hit hard enough.

Less talk about the new army book & more helping me with my first proper WFB army

8) Derailing a thread's conversation ("hijacking") is a good way to annoy the thread's creator. If you absolutely need to discuss something else, find an appropriate thread for your topic or start your own.

I need advice so I can get this list finial & buy the models needed.

i was, doombull/ other lord. After playing the army it still got the problems, no good rank n file and the big stuff too easy to shoot/avoid. All in all i think that mass chariots and skirmishing ungor are the way forward.
