==Why Play Beasts Of Chaos?== * Because you thought Satyrs in Greek mythology were better at killing and raiding than being pipe players. ** They got some rad musicians. ** Really, you just want Grimdark Satyrs-slash-Pop culture barbarians. *You like armies that are styled around CELTIC warbands, you have shamans and minotaurs, not to mention big fuckin monsters. * Because they look cool with their horns and shaggy fur. * Because Chaos Warriors are too civilized as most of them don't shit where they stand, have fleas, and smell like piss all year round. * You like [[Dragon Ogres|massive, lightning-eating foot dragons]] native to the [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle |World-That-Was]] who made a shitty pact with the Chaos Gods. * Because you played Total War: Warhammer and were too dumb to manage cities. '''Pros:''' * Can swarm the board with cheap fast and flanking Brays, big stompy people eating minotaurs or big ass dragon ogres. Oh wait, you can do all of them at once. * CHARIOTS! Two or three straight into that dwar- I mean duardin shield wall * Monsters. Monsters everywhere. And now they can rampage all over the board. And now they're stupidly cheap, too. * Almost everything is fast as fuck, boi. * Your free terrain piece is one of the better ones out there - unless you're fighting Nighthaunt. Then they just don't care. * A pretty sweet endless spell box, with a FLAMING BULL in it. * Individual models are quick, fun and relatively easy to paint * You have a stupidly-wide variety of saying "lolNO" to enemy armour saves with shitloads of Rend buffs and save roll reductions through artefacts, spells and the Herdstone. Ossiarchs are terrified of a Beasts player that knows their synergy... '''Cons''' * Literally one mediocre accessible ranged unit, except for Skyfires and a couple of the monsters. * If you are not a Bestigor or a melee hero, your armor is probably defined as "loincloth". * NOTHING in the army can actually take a hit. Rend is all over AOS 3.0, so get used to getting a 6+ save at best. Even your massive scary-looking beasts beasts can be brought down by chaff with relative ease. * Almost all of your models are real old. * Unless you are a lucky bastard son of a mutant bird or a gender-confused hedonistic goat, the only truly devoted Beastmen models are Tzaangors and Slaangors. Want some hound-or-lion-faced Khornegors? Some horrendously deformed Pestigors? You will need tons of green stuff if you wanna do that. And only aesthetically, no actual rules for them! ** GW seems to be rectifying this problem as they've realized "Oh shit, people actually like these guys, we should give them more stuff!" given the aforementioned Slaangor models. * Only Slaves to Darkness allies, so no Ogroid Thaumaturges for purely Tzeentch brayherds. * Whilst individual models are quick to paint, you'll be needing LOADS of them, so get your paints and brushes ready, because you'll be painting for a while.
