They're easier to transport and move that way on my magnetic movement trays, and I like to keep them compatible with other rank-and-file games. Plus I like the look of them all ranked up together. Only my Shamans and Behemoths are going on rounds at the moment since they won't be fighting in ranks at any point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshin620 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Really fascinating! The fact that its called Beasts of Chaos (the original name of their army) surely must mean it is going to be like the old original books, not the "only goats and minotaurs" Beastmen of 7th edition. So I'd assume rules for Troggoths, Thunderscorn, etc (maybe chaos ogors? Other than plague ogors though do they still exist?) Neat that they have a new swarm. Is that the Flock of Doom endless spell? And the other is Brayhorn Blast or something. Or literally Call of the Wild? Interesting also that the Beastmen rumor was really unknown. Many people going back and forth on whether it was true, false, or simply rolled into Darkoath. Looks like GWs rumor guardians are as vigilant as ever!

Nubgan Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Has there ever been a basing chart for these guys yet? None of the descriptions on the community have sizes, and the ones that do are squares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is literally The undying, he cannot be killed as he incarnate the purest of the essence of chaos therefore can be recluded when weak but not killed. But still can youguys believe it?!?!?!

kenshin620 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 If they're gonna bring back a character from ye olde world, they should really do Kholek. GW seems to really like Big Centerpiece Characters, and he never got his own model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izotzuhure Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I wonder if there are any plans to make new Slaangor, Khornegor and Pestigor... Even if it's only at rules level (run and charge, pile in 6", Disgustingly resilient or something like that) with a future update in next Battletomes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murder Pancake Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Delighted to see that Beasts of Chaos are finally getting some love. They were my first army in WFB and I dropped them when they split everyone up way back when. Might be time to get back into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swooper Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 13 minutes ago, Izotzuhure said: run and charge Beastmen already do that though, if they have a musician in the unit. But yeah, really hyped for this, wasn't expecting any kind of support for the next several years so I'm super happy with what we're getting even if there aren't any new models (except endless spells and that awesome herdstone). I'm curious to learn how much warscrolls will change and in what ways. Really hope they beef up the beastlord (the conditional command ability is awful) and give bland units like Dragon Ogres more of a niche. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article specifies we will be able to mix Tzaangors so maybe now that Slaanesh comes out (and with he pestigor coming out for Blood Bowl maybe we can hope for those too) we will be able to have some unit with marks, although I will have to make up my mind on whether I like marks or not for us.

erasercrumbs Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'd been ignoring AoS for 40k, but man, this will draw me back in. Love the herdstone, love that they're (presumably) throwing in a catch-all Beasts of Chaos keyword to unite the disparate factions, love knowing that the most constant form of Chaos incursion is going to be showing up more often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangu Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I actually like the 8th edition Beastmen aesthetic. Huge hordes of savage goats worshipping chaos in its purest form, with a few minos and monsters supporting the army. From the images shown so far it seems as though that is the angle GW has chosen to pursue. I highly doubt we will get to choose God Marks or have access to units like Pestigors.

Blueraven84 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 My first ever miniature bought was beastman champion made of metal ?. Then I collected everything else between heaven and earth. Made return to Beastmen around End Times and bought couple battalion boxes or whatever they were called back then. Idea was to make monster list with only couple infantry units to fill out requirements. I wonder how feasible my plan still is with this new AOS release.....?

Saiken Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Waiting for the points and rules and stuff. But man ... I've been wanting to play dragon ofors for so long !!! Add Tzaangor to the mix ? Oh boy !!! I'm hyped ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshin620 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) I am actually curious how balanced Tzaangors are going to be in regards to the BOC lists. They're already Battelline no matter the chaos allegiance (so I assume they'll stay battleline) and many tzentch players complain they're the most effective battleline option for them compared to acolytes and horrors. And I doubt they'll restrict particular buffs from affecting them, they are Gors after all. So whatever will affect Gors, Bestigors, etc will likely be applicable to Tzaangors, 1 hour ago, Pangu said: I actually like the 8th edition Beastmen aesthetic.

Technically 7th edition! The problem wasn't that goat people shouldn't be the focus of beastmen, but that basically Warriors of Chaos stole a decent chunk of what made up the beasts of chaos for no other reason other than "oh yea we need more units for warriors since they don't have daemons anymore". 8th edition WOC event took this further with Chimeras being a thing! (and a special slot for no particular reason!) Plus the fugly Pumba-gors (the mock name for the Razorgor) and Minotaurs didn't help.

Blueraven84 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Orruk Gore Gruntas will start to fly off the shelf of FLGS once the tome is released if they will keep Pumbagors... I wonder if they include Skyfires in the battletome or is it just normal tzaangors....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if they didn't, or at the very least did not have "any unit with the word Gor may be a part of this army". I mean Nurgle can take the entire Clan Pestilens roster!

Malakithe Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I guess this topic needs to be renamed to Beasts of Chaos since it will include Dragon Ogors, Tzaangors and other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
