rudra34 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Doombull is just about finished. I need to do the detail on his base and then he's good to roll out. After that I can focus on infantry and grind them out until the army is good to go. I think wednesday will be devoted to building a display board and painting it up. Nothing too spectacular, but something better than a blank bit of wood this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Man, minotaurs really are sucktastic for their points. If I had time for the OFCC, I would have painted up my pestigor models and used them instead. Still, the minos are a nice OFCC choice, so I'm not really upset about bringing them. I played two games with them tonight, and they did very little other than make big units smaller and die horribly. The hydra, on the other hand, it a welcome addition to the list. Having another monster is great fun. I've been trying to keep my doombull, the hydra, and the ghorgon all together to act as a hard-hitting trio of models. If I ever successfully get them all into the same combat, it will be brutal. Thank's for the games, RD and Nater. On the painting front: The fly-bull is completely finished now, and I got the second chariot and harpies primed today. By some miracle I have Tuesday and Wednesday off this week, so I plan to have the GF help me marathon-paint the rest of the list. I'm pretty happy with everything so far, and am really excited to see it all finished up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Your new list is better and more tactical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 After major progress yesterday, I finished up 16 gors and all 10 of my harpies. I'm not at work today, so I should be able to get the rest of my painting done leaving Thursday morning and Friday open to spray and flock movement trays and build a display board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Everything is painted and based except for my BSB and second chariot. The Minos are done, I'm in the process of basing the last two. I set the army up and made measurements for a display board, I will pick up the materials for it after work tonight so that I can get it started before going to sleep. I don't have time for anything real grand, so in an effort to reduce the work load I'm minimizing he spaces between units. Still, I think it's going to look pretty damn good when it's all together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 My brother is coming into town a day early, which is messing up my time-table. Hopefully everything will still go smoothly tomorrow. Here's a crappy phone picture of the nearly-finished army. Once the movement trays are sprayed it will all look a lot more cohesive. I do love looking at that big sea of green! The Hydra had to be a bit of a rush job, but he looks just fine for what he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudra34 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Re-opening the thread as the Beastmen get some extra attention! I'm working on this list for the Rose City tourny coming up in May. Beastmen (Required Painting: Rambull, 3 Shaman, 20-ish ungor) Doombull (General) - Gnarled Hide, Sword of Swift-Slaying, Dawnstone, Ramhorn Helm, Shield Doombull - Magic Carpet, Talisman of Preservation, Charmed Shield, Great Weapon Great Bray Shaman - Talisman of Endurance, Fencer's Blades, Jagged Dagger, Level 4, Beasts/Death/Undeath Wargor - BSB, Beast Banner, Heavy Armor, Shield Bray Shaman - Herdstone, Shadow Bray Shaman - Chalice of Dark Rain, Shadow Bray Shaman - Dispel Scroll, Shadow 50 Gors - Extra Hand Weapons, Full Command 31 Ungors - Full Command 5 Raiders 5 Raiders Razorgor Chariot Razorgor Razorgor Razorgor (or 5 harpies) 2499 points, 15.4 on comp (13 with lore of undeath) I have only played with the Herdstone in a characters-only game before, so using it for real will be new. I got a few new shaman set up and ready to get painted: Other than that I have some more nurgling ungors to get painted, and am working on a model for my ramhorn doombull. It's nice knowing that most of the army is already done...pics to come as more progress is made! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 My original comp guess is off, seems I forgot to add in my level 4 (whoops). It would be more like a 12.8, 11.3 with lore of death, 10.4 with lore of undeath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'd skip using LoU/D then as 12.8 is pretty low for Beastmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Well, the next event is no comp, so I don't mind it being low. After that I will change things around, especially if I use this army for OFCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Had a game with Fixxer at WoW last night, and the beasts had just about as much luck as I can hope for in a game. The chalice shut down his shooting in the first turn, then his cannons failed him, I got the doombull on a long charge with my chariot, doombull killed his BSB, ungors (freaking ungors) killed his grey seer, and he failed to catch a big block with two units chasing. Even though everything went right for me and wrong for him, I still think that this is a kick-ass beast list. I look forward to using it in some more games. It's also good to know that the flying doombull can take on a hellpit, well, at least 50/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 In SPDM5 my Birdbull took on two HPA's with one of them charging him. Birdbull doesn't [big bad swear word] around when it's time to beat some monster ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremmet Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Very nice! What item load-out do you run on yours? Standard kit. Arabian Carpet, Armor of Destiny, GW, and MoT if we're allowing End Times. Definitely one of the more fun units I've played around with even if he might as well not have a ward save at all . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
