Hi all, First post from me. I have a friend that I play against in Warhammer. I usually play either Skaven or Beastmen and he mostly plays VC or Empire. I have only ever won once with my Beastmen - bear in mind that you can count my games on 1,5 hands - against his VC and that was with a 18 horde of minotaurs and two blocks of Gors. I have tried putting together a new list for meeting his VC. He typically plays very competitive but I have persuaded him over the years (yes, years. We dont often get to play  ) to make fun armies and not care about victory. I personally just want to see Gors kill and die and love hordes. Anyways, my list can be summed up like this: Doombull, Brass Cleaver, Ramhorn Helm, Shield, Gnarled Hide. Great Bray-Shaman, lvl 4, Crown of Command, Dispel Scroll 5x Chaos Warhounds 5x Chaos Warhounds 60 x Gors, FC, Additional HW Tuskgor Chariot, 9 x Minotaurs, FC, Additional HW 10x Minotaurs, FC, Additional HW The point is just to storm up the middle and wreck havoc. What could go wrong? |

Hey man, Great list! haha
I also play beastmen, well to be fair I play them in the end times allied with my WoC. And I also love minotaurs! The last time I played against VC I ran a gorgon, and he was my MVP. Just popped him on my flank and ran into some zombies, he stayed there all game protecting my flank and getting so many attacks!! He was a happy cow!
I think your minotaur units will go reasonably well, you will get to stack some serious attacks onto them and hopefully demolish his undead and push through to the vampire or necro lord!
My only suggestion is, would you consider splitting the minotaurs into 3 units? It will give you more board coverage and options, and with AHW you only get the bonus in the front ranks. so maybe go one big unit and 2 smaller ones?
Either way, let us know how it goes!

It might actually be a cool idea to split them into 3 units - I am only a bit worried about ethereals which might just stop them. Maybe a Bloodkine with a magic weapon? |

If you are concerned about ethereals and have the points spare then sure. Otherwise I wouldn't be too concerned, if they are holding up say 3 minotaurs, it still leaves the rest of your army to do its thing.

The thing is though, they may actually beat the Minotaurs in combat and, with their average Leadership, more often than not they'll flee which will leave the Ethereals free to cause havoc elsewhere. I agree with pinge that a Bloodkine with a cheap Magic Weapon of only 5 or 10 points will be enough to allow them to smash most Ethereals they'll come across. |

Would love to see this list in action. Could you squeeze in a Gorebull BSB? might help wreck havoc for longer!

So would I! I think I could get a Gorebull in - the Gor unit is probably too big and the need for Crown of Command not particularly useful due to the big size. Ill look at cutting it down a bit. Good tip. |
