Editing Beasts Of Chaos (section)

==Greatfrays==
Calling the Greatfrays the equivalent to Stormhosts or Warclans is a bit of a misunderstanding. A Greatfray is less of a unified subfaction and more like a particular culture that Beastmen originate from. Scholars of the Mortal Realms will notice patterns in their iconography, warfare, and herd composition and create these theories regarding how the beasts of these Greatfrays function.

*'''Allherd:''' The posterboys. Arrogant and aggressive, the beasts of the Allherd believe themselves to be the true offspring of the Alpha Progenitor, the original Beastman of the Mortal Realms, ergo meaning they claim to be the only true children of Chaos. Their herds are mostly found in [[Ghur]], which when combined with the countless herdstones and glyphs bearing the Allherd’s symbols that dot every continent in the Realm of Beasts, leads many to believe that they originated from Ghur as well.
*'''Darkwalkers:''' Much like their ancestors in the World-That-Was, the Darkwalkers rely heavily on ambush tactics and knowing the lay of the land. They seem to have an innate knowledge of the environment around them and are easily able to traverse the most treacherous of terrain and/or lure enemies into lethal surprise attacks. It’s not uncommon for herds of Darkwalkers to be “hired” by Chaos Lords from the [[Slaves to Darkness]] for their experience in navigating the Realms. Of course, the idea of even interacting with the followers of the Chaos Gods doesn't sit well with some other Greatfrays, but the Darkwalkers don't mind, since it's only natural to use any and all means when walking the path of anarchy.
*'''Gavespawn:''' A somewhat heretical Greatfray who revere/worship Morghur from the original Beastman roster, who has become a symbol of rampant mutation and the warping powers of Chaos. They seek to elevate their patron to the ranks of a proper Chaos God and fight against the four brothers, which is why they are often at odds with the other Beasts of Chaos and the Slaves to Darkness. Of course with all this mutation present, Chaos SpaWAITOHGODNOFDNHKGESZYXJDS...are not only a common presence in the army, but are treated as sacred beings embodying Morghur’s power. Unique to the Gavespawn herds are the Gibbering Congregations, a trio of the most ‘blessed’ Chaos Spawn that spew corruptive bile at their enemies.
*'''Quakefray:''' A relatively new Greatfray that is also quite unique in that they are primarily led by unusually intelligent Cygor Priests and contain a very high number of large Beastkin. They have an obsession with seeing all civilizations of the realms crushed flat and charge out in great herds all across the realms. The Cygors of this Greatfray even using their strange powers to cause the very land to rebel and shake and crumble to rubble.
*'''Slatehorns:''' A Greatfray that roamed around [[Shyish]] they managed to slaughter the dragons that lived in the Betrayers Barrier in the Charnel Court before the [[Flesh-Eater Courts#The Grand Courts|Morgaunt Flesh Eater Court]] found them and wiped them out.
*'''Scorchpelt:''' A small Greatfray which have a particular hate-boner for the people of Tempest's Eye. They have charred fur (which might indicate a prepensity for fire which is fitting as they live in [[Aqshy]]).

The next few Greatfrays refer to Beastmen who have chosen to follow a specific Ruinous Power and are appropriately shunned by most other Beasts of Chaos. Important note here, these names aren’t really the names of the Greatfray itself, but more like a broad classification (I.e. the Eight Horns Greatfray is a Skullfray devoted to Khorne and so on).

*'''Skullfrays''': Beastmen devoted to [[Khorne]]. They are gifted a portion of the Blood God’s wrath, turning them all into [[World Eaters|unstoppable berserkers who rip and tear a gory trail through the Mortal Realms.]] Their herdstones are fittingly decorated with piles of skulls and no Bray Shamans are found in the Skullfrays, cause magic makes Khorne mad. The most prevalent skullfray is the Eighthorns who devour their enemies to become stronger, except the brain because it doesn't contain enough muscle.
*'''Twistfrays''': Beastmen devoted to [[Tzeentch]]. Sometimes known as Weird Horns or Warphooves, these guys were the only god-specific Beastmen with official models still in production until the recent Slaanesh Mortals update. They are the most willing to cooperate with outside factions, usually to plot and scheme the downfall of a Free City. Their herdstones are almost living twisted creatures in their own way, changing and growing the stronger their Twistfray becomes. The most infamous Twistfray is the Ulk'gnar which were nearly destroyed until Tzeentch got involved.
*'''Rotfrays''': Beastmen devoted to [[Nurgle]]. Their devotion to the Plague Father has turned these Beastmen into a [[Clan Pestilens|pestilent horde of flagellants]] who willingly cut and infect each other with disease and wade into battle as martyrs to spread their poxes upon their foes. Appropriately, the Rotfray herdstones serve as nodes for Nurgle’s corruptive influence, morphing the earth around it into a vile marsh of decay and filth. The most prevalent rotfray is the Manglegut Rotfray.
*'''Slakefrays''': Beastmen devoted to [[Slaanesh]]. To these beasts, Slaanesh is the apex predator, feaster, and breeder; all things that the Beastmen seek to emulate in the most obscene degree. These guys are LOUD, [[Emperor's Children|wearing garish armor and clothes and blowing colossal war horns to signal their attacks.]] They hoard anything gaudy or shiny they find in their raids, however this makes them prone to bouts of self-loathing, realizing how they value these products of civilization. This is why they seek to drown out such thoughts in more excessive pillaging and raping, creating a vicious, almost tragic, cycle.The Gravenkin are the best-known Slakefray, [[Daemonettes]] tend to follow them as they think the Gravenkin will lead them to Slaanesh.

===“Organisation” Within the Greatfrays===

A Greatfray may be one big group of [[Furries|beasts]] but that doesn't mean they are all in one place. They split down to smaller 'herds' to make as much [[Rape |mischief]] as possible (also because the different species can barely tolerate each other at the best of times). The subtypes can be specialised to make them more focused on one type of tactic and method of slaughtering the inhabitants of the mortal realms. Each one of these is known as a beastherd and there are three types seen, each led by an Alphabeast. Despite how much they work together to make horrendous tragedies happen, they are still a might-makes-right society and weaker beastherds will be targeted by the strong and either subsumed into the stronger herd or killed outright.

*'''Brayherd''': Ambush focused herd with a emphasis on the usage of Gors and Bestigors. This makes them the most traditional as they use the larger numbers of ungors to do the scouting and hunting as well as being used as expendible units in battle. The Gors will do most of the fighting as they are primarily the ground troops of the herds with bestigors, centigors, tuskgors and tzaangors making up the niche elite units. of course they still have their beastlords, bray shamans and great bray shamans to act as leadership.

*'''Warherd''': Warherds are the nomadic warlike beastherds that have a massive emphasis on the use of Bullgors and the variants that come as a package deal. These are the herds that will make most use of units like the [[Ghorgon]] and the [[Cygor]]. The leadership of the Warherds are the responsibility of the Doombulls which are Bullgors, But bigger. An infamous warherd is the Vilehorns under the Allherd Greatfray under the command of the Doombull Krovar.

*'''Thunderscorn''': Thunderscorns is the name of a group of <s>[[Dragon Ogres]]</s> Dragon Ogors. They mainly tend to sit in the mountains and raze settlements who have the gall to exist nearby. The smaller Dragon ogors are led by a Dragon Ogor Shaggoth which are revered by other Beastmen and Dragon Ogors as demigods. They tend to focus themselves around mountain ranges or wastelands which they basically rule with and iron…fist? Claw? Likely both. Anyway they do this when they can be arsed to get out of bed.
