I played 2250 points of beast men versus some feral vampires last Monday. I had a real fun time fielding my beastmen for the first time. I learned a lot about them really quick. They are hardy in combat but their magic should not be too heavily relied on. You also need to pump up your leadership so your units can handle fear and terror causing units. I ran tons of gors, ungors, and bestigors. I was impressed with all of them. The razorgor did well against the varghulf. I still need some time learning how best to use my minotaurs. I am definitely working two cygors, a unit of harpies, and more bestigors into my list. That will help with magic defense, offensive capability, and war machine hunting.
Now on to the game. Everything was going well for me pregame. It's when I started using magic and trying to make leadership rolls that things went south. My friends wraiths were amazing holding up my minotaurs and a block of 32 gors. Incredible! The next problem was that the terrorgheist with a vamp rider (the general) rolled my flank up pretty well. My other block of 31 gors put up a good showing but the spell that gives +3 attacks and strength pretty much sealed the deal. Turn three most of my army is dead or fleeing. But then I randomly decide to cast amber spear, strength 10 version, and I get the spell off. It hits the terrorgheist riding general after a random hit roll. I hit the vampire general... My friends army starts to fall apart. I end up killing the terrorgheist most of the wraiths, zombies, and skeletons galore. I still lost horribly. But I know what I am doing turn one next time I play vampires. "which one is your army's general?". Mwhahaha. I had a real fun time playing and my next battle scheduled is a mega battle for warhammer fantasy. I'm hoping for some cygors this Christmas.
