Gaz Taylor Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Here is the new thread for discussing Beasts of Chaos. With the imminent release of AoS 2 (and a lot of the info already being out there), now is the time for us to start afresh on TGA. Moving forward, this will be the main thread to chat about and discuss Beasts of Chaos in the new edition. I still wholly encourage people to keep their own threads/army blogs within this sub forum and I also think those are a great place to share some photos as I know not everyone frequents the Painting & Modelling section. But this thread is purely for discussion around the faction, things such as (but not limited to) tactics and list building etc. You all know the drill, we've been doing it on this forum since inception! Really excited to see what we can come up with as a community and I look forward to reading all your ideas and thoughts. EDIT With New Beasts of Chaos Battletome coming out, I've renamed this topic from Brayherds and Warherds Discussion to Beasts of Chaos Edited September 10, 2018 by Gaz Taylor Updated Title for new Battletome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezgor Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hello, a great idea! Also now that it seems that games worshop is giving them a little more prominence, we went on the website of Age of sigmar creis that unified brayherd warherds and thunderscorns? Hope so. See a battletome of beasts of chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernalslayer Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Ungor Raiders will not have a reduced cost bonus for taking them in 40s in the new edition because their minimum unit cost came down by 20 points per 10 models. I think they are ok to run in 30s now as well, what does everyone think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure yet, I like both brayherd and warherds so may be I go BH alliance with WH allies or full chaos alliance to be able to mix both. Chaos alliance works well with a doombull general but the herdstone... for the Brayherd route Im thinking of a rush army, no mistery. the core 2x30 gors 1x20-30 ungor raiders, ambush 1x30 bestigors (only 300 points!) 1 or 2 bray shamans 1 boss and them maybe add cygor and minotaurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenbeast Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 With the 30" dispel range now I really see Cygor becoming a bit more used. I will definitely gonna give it a try and see what they can do as now the can stay a little bit more behind and still b threatening for wizards. Can you see a tzeentch chicken or Nagash taking MW due to a beastman!!!!!! So hilarious!!!!! Minotaurs are dropping in points I think to 140 which is very promising considering the don't really do much plus now being able to pile them in better at least it will be some more attacks in. I very well see 6xBullgors + 1 Doombull to have his command ability on them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoVonUtopia Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I am quite excited about the new command point system since the beastlord's and doombull's command abilities are very situatuonal so we should be able to make good use of the generic command abilities. Taking 2 doombulls and using both command abilities seems like it would be devastating for one turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The two (or three with Thunderscorn) really really really need to be a combined faction. All the pieces are there for something great, but I just can't seem to crack it handcuffed to 400pts of allies (mixed Chaos ends up afoul of Battleline minimums so that doesn't help for me). If anyone comes up with a good Bray/War/Thunder list, I'd love to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiken Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 On top of everything that has been said, do you guys have any thoughts on bringing the following in a Brayheard / Warheard List ? - Sayl the Faithless (for the movement + fly buff) - Jabberslythe (for the nasty damage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm pretty sure Sayl doesn't work any more. Wasn't he changed to buff Slaves to Darkness only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decker_cky Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 While it will ultimately depend on the allegiance abilities and equipment, with the heavy discounts to brayherd and the new spell, I think the wildstalker brayherd could be a legitimate list to run. Something like this: 30 gors 210 30 gors 210 30 gors 210 10 raiders 80 10 raiders 80 10 raiders 80 10 raiders 80 5 x 1 chariot 160 beastlord 90 gbs 100 gbs 100 wildstalker brayherd 210 30 bestigors 340 Total 1950 Chariots are dirty cheap missiles you can ambush with to charge solos and missile units or to flank units. Comes with 4 large blocks and speed to burn, and hits hard within the battalions bubble. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch - misread that on the screen capture I had. My list total is still right because I noticed I only included points for 4 chariots. 300 pt bestigors is awesome though - that's got to be one of the best point for point damage output units in the game and opens up wildstalker lists like this: 30 gors 210 30 gors 210 10 gors 80 10 ungors 60 10 ungors 60 10 raiders 80 10 raiders 80 3 x 1 chariot 120 beastlord 90 gbs 100 gbs 100 wildstalker brayherd 210 30 bestigors 300 30 bestigors 300 Total 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centigors (along with the compendium units) are the most egregious, but rolling them all together with warherd and thunderscorn, with the addition of a few more battalions, would make for a legitimate faction.

Frozenbeast Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Wow that is a loooooooot of bodies!!!!!!!!!!! I got a lot of minis but I don t think I ll be able to pull off a battalion list with that many! I found the raiders very efficient in units 20-30 men strong but I don t particularly like 10 of them only I feel the don t do what 20 do. Even if they shoot pretty ****** (and still, I play wanderers too and they by all means pull out more dmg than Glade Guards for less points) they still fulfill that annoying role of "I got a shooty unit on the objective and you don t really care because you consider them ****** so you don t kill them". For me 20 of them have always been MVP, every single match!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozenbeast Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Thing is that if raider have to be in higher numbers to be effectives I am not very sure how you manage to pull off the battalion as the requirement in units is crazy high ( I mean not that they win you the game if they have the number or something, is just that 10 men units are really really useless and take a lot pf points). I have not tried to make up one but it looks tricky. And I think now that bestigor got cheaper and bullgors got cheaper and we can use the command abilities from other characters and Cygors have more chances to do dmg, maybe I se better a mixed list rather than a pure Brayherd. But maybe is just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Yeah, the wildstalker brayherd needs a lot of models starting with minimum 3 gor units and 4 ungor units (and I need to go through my collection to verify whether I even have that many models ?). With 7 mainline units required, it's just not feasible to max out every unit to optimal numbers. With 160+ models, the list definitely is going to require an investment in movement trays to be feasible to play. Regardless of their actual shooting, 10 man ungor raider units are great for getting forward and denying space to allow your mainline units to score objectives early in games (denying space is huge in AOS, and brayherds foot speed allows them to play earlier on a number of objectives than most armies can). Any shooting damage the raiders cause is a bonus (not that they're bad at shooting). Bigger is obviously better, but you need to make sacrifices somewhere for the formation, and the bonuses are huge.

Blightlord Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 With 2.0 I'm going to start a new army, and since I don't have any thing Chaos and thought I would start a warherd/brayherd mix. What are you thoughts on something like this? If I have the new points correct (-20 for Bullgors, Bestigors and Cygor, and +10 for Bray Shamans) the points should come out to 1990. Could also swap out the Ghorgon for another Cygor, to get enough points for one of the cheaper Endless spells. Would use the Grand Alliance Chaos abilities but I'm not sure on command trait, artifact or realm yet. Unfortunately I won't have any battalions or extra command points unless I drop something to get down to 1950 or 1900. Allegiance: Warherd Doombull (120) - General - Axe & Shield Doombull (120) - Great Axe Great Bray Shaman (90) Great Bray Shaman (90) 6 x Bullgors (360) - Great Axes 3 x Bullgors (180) - Great Axes 30 x Gors (210) - Gor-Blades & Beastshields 20 x Bestigors (280) Cygor (200) Ghorgon (200) Jabberslythe (120) Jabberslythe (120) Total: 2090 / 2000 (1990 w/ new points) Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 160 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 You're short battleline (you only have 1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blightlord Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Realized after looking over my list I don't think it would be legal with a Warherd Allegiance. Below is the new list with Grand Alliance Chaos as the allegiance. I lowered the Bestigors to 10, and split the Gors into 3 groups of 10 for battle line purposes. With the new points this should get me to 1900, which would allow me to get up to 50 points worth of Endless Spells, and 1 Command Point at the start of the game.? Allegiance: Chaos Doombull (120) - General - Axe & Shield Great Bray Shaman (90) Great Bray Shaman (90) Doombull (120) - Great Axe 10 x Gors (80) - Gor-Blades & Beastshields 10 x Gors (80) - Gor-Blades & Beastshields 10 x Gors (80) - Gor-Blades & Beastshields 6 x Bullgors (360) - Great Axes 3 x Bullgors (180) - Great Axes 10 x Bestigors (140) Cygor (200) Ghorgon (200) Jabberslythe (120) Jabberslythe (120) Total: 1980 / 2000 (1900 w/ new points) Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
