Warcry/Tactics/Beasts of Chaos

Faction Overview

Pros

• Fast: 5" on everyone, + a speed ability.
• ’’’Cheap Mix with big bodies: cheap spamable gors and ungors, with muscle support from bullgors, Bestigors, and Dragon Ogors

Cons

• Many units are good from afar but far from good and vice versa: Melee ungors for example suck while the cheaper gors are point for point often much better than bestigors. It can be confusing and disappointing for new players who see cool models like two handed bullgor only to find they are terrible.

Fighter's Overview

Leaders

Ungor Halforn with Half-shield

• Stats: Movement 5"; Toughness 4; Wounds 16; 140 Pts.
  • Rule: Leader
  • Weapons:
    • Club-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 2/4
• Fighter Commentary - Fine for pickup/skirmish games if you really want a three Dragon Ogors or other big elites but due to his low wound count is not good in campaigns where your leader will often be targeted.

  • Rule: Leader, Scout
  • Weapons:
    • Ranged-Range 3-15"; Attacks 2; Strength 3; Damage 1/3
    • Sword-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 2/4
• Fighter Commentary - Suffers from the same low wound problem as the Halfhorn w/shield but with added survivability thanks to using a bow to stay out of melee range. Generally the best if you don’t want to pay for the Foe render or bullgor.

Gor Foe-Render

• Stats: Movement 5"; Toughness 4; Wounds 20; 170 Pts.
  • Rule: Leader
  • Weapons:
    • Axe-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 4; Damage 2/4

• Stats: Movement 5"; Toughness 3; Wounds 10; 55 Pts.
  • Weapons:
    • Axe-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 1/3
• Fighter Commentary - Your cheapest fighter and arguably best point for point non elite fighter. 10 wounds 3 S3 1/3 attacks for 55 points is good. A 5” move on top of that is great. Using the double Brayherd Ambush to add up to a 6 inch bonus move and stealing an objective turn 1 with a 55 point model is phenomenal! The best points filler hands down!
