The leonine head is 3 attacks, 4+/3+ with a and D6 damage, this alone is pretty brutal.

Has a unique Monstrous Rampage which allows him to select an endless spell in 6" and roll 2d6. If it beats its casting value it is dispelled and he heals a number of wounds equal to the roll. This works on friendly endless spells as well making him very durable with enough of them.

Their Standard bearer gives them a bonus to rally where they rally on a 5+ instead of 6+ to keep them around longer and Musician which gives bonuses to run and charge rolls. Their true clinching ability however is their Gor Stampede ability. If there unit outnubers an enemy unit they just charged you roll a 3+, if successful the Strike-last effect applies to that unit in the following combat phase. This is huge and combined with their rally boost obviously encourages you to take large units. A unit of 20-30 Gors can lay the hurt on just about anything in the game and can even make a decent anvil to boot with shields. Overall a solid unit.
	*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-ungors-en.pdf Ungors]:''' ('''BATTLELINE''', Min10 Max:~~40 60~~/~~200pts~~) Weaker Save than Gors overall and weaker attacks. They still have some things going for them however. They have the same benefits from Standards and mucisians as Gor so the rally bonus is welcome. While their attacks profile is nothing special they have gained a ranged ability if you bring the spear with it dobuling as a missle weapon at 8" so theirs that. The real reason you bring them though is their ability in the combat phase to choose to retreat from the battle instead of fighting when it is their turn to be selected to fight. So basically they got the old Skink rule of fleeing out of combat. Amazing on these guys as they are crap in combat anyway and allows them to survive combat to flee onto objectives.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-ungors-en.pdf Ungors]:''' ('''BATTLELINE''', Min10 Max:30 80/240pts) Weaker Save than Gors overall and weaker attacks.

Overall, the Bull an absolute melee monster. His attacks output are great and he shares the Bloodgreed ability with his lesser kin - on an unmodified 6 to hit cauness a numbe of mortal wounds equal to the melee weapons damage profile. In addition he has an improved charge damage bonus, causing D3 mortal wounds after he finishing charging on a 2+. However his truly massive benefit and probably the reason you bring him is his unique command ability that allows him to command a '''Warherd''' unit to charge at the begining of the combat phase. Which is absolutely huge, allowing units of Warherd up to three attempts to charge in one turn or even charge in your opponents combat phase, creating all kinds of ways to mess up your opponents plans and near guaranteeing certain distance charges when factoring in rerolls and bonuses. All in all a solid general or just Hero beatstick.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-doombull-en.pdf Doombull]:''' (180pts) The murder cow has a two-handed axe (3x 3+/3+/-2/3).

Kitted out now with a greatly enhanced attack profile (that new 5 attacks 2 damage profile GW seems to be given to all foot heroes now) he is much more viable in a fight. And honestly that is probably where you want him wit his new abiliites. Namely he now does mortal wounds equal to his melee damage characteristic on 6's to hit. Plus his Hatred of Heroes ability has been changed that now he just needs to be within 3" of an enemy hero to give all '''Beast of Chaos''' units +1 to hit and wound rolls in 12". Lastly and probably his best upgrade he allows one non-hero '''Brayherd''' unit whooly within 12" fight immediately after him. Drag along a horde of Bestigors and chop down the enemy before they even get to swing.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-beastlord-en.pdf Beastlord]:''' (145pts) Major overhaul from previous mediocre incarnations.

He unfortunately no longer gives any movment bonuses but he does get an additional 6" to the range of Rituals of Ruins that he attempts. Potenially giving more range to snipe out enemy units with the D6 MW ritual. He also has the spell Devolve with an ok cast of 7 and 18" range. If sucessful you pick an enemy unit and until your next hero phase every time the unit moves, runs, charges or retreats they roll 3D6 against their bravery and if the result exceeds bravery that unit halves its move maxium distance.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-great-bray-shaman-en.pdf Great Bray Shaman]:''' (95pts) You probably want this guy because he is the cheapest caster in the army.

Thanks to his Disc, he's not all that bad in melee, but that is still only a last resort, as he's too important to risk. The fun part is that he is a 6 wound Mage with high movement and a decent spell: Enemy unit takes D3 Mortal Wounds. Afterward, you can add a Tzaangor to a nearby unit for every model the spell killed. Roast some Saurus Guard and fill up your Beastmen all in the same breath. The Shaman also carries a nice energy drink with him that, once per game, lets him cast one extra spell and and add 3 to the casting roll.

Other than that he is virtually idential to a typical Bray Shaman except for his unique spell. A 7 cast spell that causes D3 mortal wounds to an enemy unit and allows melee attacks to add one to hit against that unit until your next hero phase. An ok rule when paired up with a hammer unit.		*'''Grashrak Fellhoof:'''(unique, must be taken with Grashraks despoilers unit, 180) Named unique Bray Shaman that comes with a unique unit that he can pawn wounds off too.
