Point for point what do you think is the best Beast of Chaos unit ?

I've heard a few arguments in favour of Minotaurs but what do you think ? I'm going to be going through the army book soon to update my blog analysis so I'm interested ni getting as many opinions as possible.

Thanks everyone,
Sigmar

Well, with my little experiance with them I'd say the choice is between three units.

1. The Herd. Cheap and varied. You have two basic units here giving you two ranks of attacks (2 hand weapons in front and spears behind) along with big numbers. Even more your gain the benefit of being at a -1 to shoot because your skirmishing. Great protection for characters and very moveable. Plus due to their ambush special rule you can even pop onto the board behind your opponent!

2. Minotaurs. With the ability to take these guys as core if you take a Doombull an army of these guys becomes one of the most brute stregnth armies to date. Being able to take Marks just adds on to their hitting power or survivability. Not anything to laugh at.

3. Dragon Ogres. Take three and you have a unit cheaper than a shaggoth but with more hitting power and more wounds.

I've positioned the army book in my toilet for morning reading so I'm ready to get posting when I get to my pc.

I really need to read up on these brutes Smile

I'll be back. Especially about the Dragon Ogre vs Shaggoth point you made, it's got my interest.
