Beastmen vs High Elves & Lord Celestant

they look great! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Turn 1 both armies advance. Shooting damage for the High Elves is negligible.



Jabberslythe eats the charge from the chariot, holds and the Centigors flank charge next turn.



Pikminotaurs engage the Seaguard. Elven hero in the front rank does some damage to the whittled Pikminotaurs (Tzeentch marked Minotaurs with 6+ ward save)



The badly wounded Druk (1 wound remaining per dice) lines up Lord Spikus. The White Lions had all been eliminated by this stage.



Druk gets the rear charge on Lord Spikus but is slain after inflicting some damage with the impact hits.

Unfortunately not many more photos were taken.

The Jabberslythe Elder chases the fleeing Swordmasters but they escape it rolling an 11.

His spurting Bile Blood accounted for 3 dead Swordmasters which was amusing.

Meanwhile things were not going well for Hoodhorn and his Crew although there are no pictures.


The remaining Minotaurs are slain leaving Gnashhoof standing alone enraged. By this stage he was actually up to 10 attacks.



The final scene of the battle. Gnashhoof is brought down by weight of fire after butchering the Bolt Thrower crew.

Victory to the High Elves!

That's crazy that bow fire took out a minotaur character. How was he kitted? Mine usually has a 2+ armor (sometimes rerollable depending on character tier and points) so not much low strength anything gets through his defense

It was a fair bit of luck. The real damage was done by the bolt Thrower before Gnashhoof killed it. Single shot ended up rolling 3 for the Multiple wounds.

That said my opponent rolled something like six 6's to wound in that final volley to take down the Minotaur Lord.

This was not a competitive battle. Well the battle was competitive but the lists were not. I deliberately didn't field any Khorgor or a Bsb for example. We both had fun and the battle told a nice tale which is the main thing.


Gnashhoof has a 4+ armor save with a 5+ ward save. He isn't super hard to take down but can dish it out with his great weapon. In friendly games Gnashhoof is set in stone and he always has these saves/armor so we remember. His crew run an easy to remember 475 points which is exactly the same as the Hoodhorn Crew.

In the past i have run the various different competitive Doombull builds vs various opponents but now that i don't really play competitive players anymore Gnashhoof has found his hoofing in my Beastherd.

In the 475 point pick off for Beastherd supremacy it was Hoodhorn and his crew who won....fittingly running down Gnashhoof and his Minotaurs...for control of the herd....

My thoughts were this battle would help inspire me to get some more Beastmen painted for a larger upcoming revenge battle ........ This battle will (painting pending) feature a new general to lead the Herd with Hoodhorn taking a step back.



The big bull is waiting...but not yet ready to be unleashed....

Twin Ghorgon, Jabberslythe Elder and Elemental of Beasts will be unleashed.... 1100 points of goodness

1375 if i include Druk.... it's all just too much
