Beastmen book is Gors going from WS4->3 which I think is reasonable for the fluff and helps distinguish them from Beastigores a little more. The AP book I downloaded the other day has Gor at WS4. Honestly I like that much more, I like the distinction between Gor and Bestigors to be the Strength & Armour. The only thing in the book I would change, would be to make Centigors Fast Cav. They are not armoured enough to play the role of heavy cav. With throwing Axes they are perfect for a fast cav role. Their points cost is more in line with fast cav too.

Lol, I guess I've been handicapping myself, they are WS4. I swore I saw a note about making them WS3 but maybe that is for the 9th version of the book.
Agree RE Centigores, that would be a good change. I also think Cygor rework would be nice as the unit is still useless after a huge points drop but well, they look real pretty.

At 175 I think the Cygor could make up his points. He was horrible at the original cost, but like you said I still took it because they look cool.
You are right that it could use a rework on the rules. His abilities seem to be opposite. He is a stone thrower so you would want to keep him back so why would you want to move him up to the enemy wizards? It's not like a lot if wizards try to get behind your lines.

He is a stone thrower so you would want to keep him back so why would you want to move him up to the enemy wizards? It's not like a lot if wizards try to get behind your lines. I've only used him once at 175 and he did nothing. The problem is kinda 3-fold: 1- Stone throwers are kinda bad in 8th and 175 point stone throwers will generally not make back their points 1a- Once he's in combat he can't even do that 2- His anti-wizard stuff is fairly useless 3- He is WS2 so loses out in combat pretty hard to the other monsters (and makes the 5 attacks rerolling much less exciting even when he finds a good target to fight) We've probably gotten a bit off topic here but I think one of those three things would need to change. If he did offer more anti-wizard power, was a more reliably artillery unit for the cost, or could fight well in close combat I think it'd be worthwhile, but as it stands it's just kinda bad at 3 different things and while technically "flexible" there isn't a lot of upside. His best use is probably flanking trying to find and thunderstomp some of your enemy's chaff, but he seems worse for this purpose than half a dozen units in the book.

As a stone thrower I don't mind him. In 8th Stone Throwers can be good for sniping other monsters and war machines and there are always those juicy T3 units, elves, humans etc. A good aspect of him being a stone thrower is he doesn't Misfire. Yeah he takes a wound but there is no chance of him being killed outright like a regular Stone Thrower.
I usually keep my along the flank chucking rocks and only take him in against smaller units or fast cav.

February is tight for me. The only day that looks good is the 23rd.

I'm good any day, so the 23rd would work on my end

23rd probably works for me. Will run it by the boss and the committee. bobross I’d say bring a 2k and a 2.5k list for whatever people feel like playing. We don’t normally do T&T, that was more of a backup plan if we have odd numbers.

I have both a 2k and 2.5k list ready to go. The dead will swarm the lands of the living. All hail the Von Carstein legacy. Anyone up for a game before the 23rd?

I'm meeting up with Mike this saturday for a 2k game at 10. If you'd like, he said he'd be down to play you after, so maybe 1130?
