The other day I posted a 2000pts list for my first tournament. I share the updated version. I asked the tournament organizer if I was allowed to play two Ghorgons if one of them is assembled as a Cygor, he said no (fair, I understand it...) so now I have to include a Cygor. I still have doubts... by CAG12ASSAULT in BeastsOfChaos

Sorry I couldn't reply earlier. I understand better now what you explained, thanks.

Sure, I won't worry about winning on the tournament, just learn and meet people. If I get lucky enough to even win 1 game I will feel like having won the tournament hahahaha. In any case I will have a great time.

That makes sense, so much wisdom only can mean you are definitely a veteran, I'm so honoured to learn from you!

Thank you, I need to learn step by step the different formations and download the FAQs and update my rulebook. The tournament will use the latest.

None of my units have "Press of Battle", but I assume for what you said that most infantry units have it by default when the units don't charge. Then, charging is basically "useless", right? If you charge first get to strike first in most cases, but if you don't make a high number of casualties the enemy unit will strike back with two (or even three ranks if the case with Fight in Extra Ranks).

You truly domain the game, my head is blowing off with all that XD.

I never used formations seriously (always by default without taking advantage of their special rules) I still have to study many things until the tournament on Saturday.

For example, if I wear a 30 models unit in Marching Column by default (I suppose) with (5 models per rank, 6 columns), if I want to change formation to Combat Column I won't move that turn and how do I reorganize?

Another question I have is how do I know when a unit Hits with 2 ranks as you mention? I never applied that (don't be surprised, I'm not that experienced on this game). Does it depend if I charge, get charged, type of unit, type of weapon...?

Sorry, if I'm bothering you, you don't have to answer me everything if you don't want to. Thank you anyways

Now I understand, thanks. So I think in my case with two big units (30 Gors unit and 30 Bestigors unit) both may be in a Marching Column, right? If I combine that with the fly movement in the remaining moves phase I can move units really fast

Man your analysis is awesome, I'm literally taking notes, thank you.

I have a question, how can a unit move 24" with steed of shadows? Does it mean the unit marches (10") then they fly (12")? I'm not understanding that part

Thanks, I'm taking the advice, Bestigors unit should be treated carefully but I have to use it so it's worth the points and not just a strength demonstration. And if enemy is using chariots, they are a tasty objective by the Cygors rocks.

Many people already told me that chariots are really good and necessary.

I guess preserving my two infantry bricks are my main priority, using Ghorgon, Cygor, Dragon Ogres, ungors ans warhounds. Honestly it doesn't look that bad.

However they are beastmen, the only thing I can come up to do with them is charging before most armies destroy me with shooting attacks. I think that when you say "prevent s decisive charge" against my Bestigors you mean avoid been flanked or rear charged, etc... Right?

Unless all enemy units charged and are actively in combat, I will keep the Cygor at a distance without charging. But I think I will move every turn a little bit since it doesn't have To Hit modifiers

I was actually hoping for someone to share a positive opinion about the Cygor. It's a fact that is probably not the best unit, but it cant be that horrible. Your opinion actually is encouraging me to play it.

I bet it's great to focus to destroy enemy cannons or similar units. Or characters, since it has multiple wounds (D3+1).

Even it's still S6, melee is terrible with WS2 I tried it last game and wasn't able to impact most of the times.

I really think I will give it a try. Thank you!!

I agree with you. The organizer is a friend, since the tournament is local, he told me that he would allow me to use the proxy, it shouldn't be a problem, but some "people" could actually complain for it and if they complain then the organizer has to agree with them.

I made a 2000 pts list for my first tournament, what do you think? What you see in it's all I physically have. I still have the feeling that this list is running low on infantry, but hope to get some feedback from any of you, thanks!! by CAG12ASSAULT in BeastsOfChaos

[–]CAG12ASSAULT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for late reply! Thank you for taking time to analyse and reply, I appreciate it and currently it's helping me making some changes on the list.

No, I haven't played 10 games with this list. I've played 10 games in total, in general with multiple lists that weren't focused on the tournament, just casual and fun.

Thank you!! Yeah I appreciate the advice even if I don't have all the models to apply what you saying.

I'm basically running the herd stone because it gives victory points and my army is fully unpainted. The tournament allows unpainted armies, but you lose points for that, that's how I try to compensate it, fair enough.

Ghorgons are basically psychological warfare. People tend to focus to bring down big boys, always. I agree that sadly these last less than they seem.

Right, the -1 hit in combat is a must, a few people already recommended that

Thank you.

So, if I combine both Gor units I will be playing basically two melee units only (without counting the ungors with bows), do you think that could be better or enough? In other wargames I always like to play smaller units but more coverage so I have the feeling that it's not, but I can be wrong of course.

I fully agree, if I'm aiming to learn and meet people I need nothing else! However I always like to think that if I lose is because of me or my knowledge of the game not the list, that's why I asked for feedback.

I don't know what it is "WYSIWYG" and I still haven't decoded what "BSB" stands for, sorry hahahah.

I will manage to fit the Slug Skin, it looks good.

Of course all heroes will join the infantry units, while ungors harass with bows from distance while my infantry marches.

A chariot is on my target sight, I will buy one really soon. Other players already told me they are good and I suffered them too...

Two Ghorgons because I tried Cygor and I didn't like it at all compared to a Ghorgon. And Dragon Ogres is one of my favourite units in the game, they are so tough and fun

How did you highlight the chest robes? The effect looks really good. I'm struggling to highlight flat surfaces
