Maybe you would use them in a thematic game where you are trying to replicate the fact that chaos is so ascendant.

Those rules aside though I am quite excited about what this does specifically for beasts. Both in giving more variety and strength to what they already had and in opening up new (old) units to throw in there. I could actually use my chaos ogres as ogres now!

I might use the Chaos Ascendant rules just for my Beastmen . . . now maybe I won't lose my Ghorgon and Cygor at the top of turn 1.  :blush:
So, what would you guys do if some dude came at you with a belt that way?

I'm guessing not but can monsters take marks? That'd be nice!

I really need to see the full rules. The idea of marking centigors and minotaurs might up their attractiveness slightly.

Beasts never should have lost marks. Khorne Minos used to be amazing.

What does khorne mark do these days?

Minos already get stacking frenzy which is scary once you get it going. Think I would be more tempted to mark them nurgle so they might stand a chance of getting into combat...

Wait, my bad, monsters cannot take marks. Here's what can:

Beastlord
Doombull
Great Bray-shaman
Wargor
Gorebull
Bray Shaman
Gors
Ungors
Ungor Raiders
Tuskgor Chariot
Minotaurs
Centigors
Bestigors
Razorgor Chariot

Cost of 2 points for Khorne, Nurgle and Tzeentch, 1 for Slaanesh. (10 and 5 points for characters, respectively)

Mark of Khorne = Frenzy
Mark of Tzeentch = 6++, stackable, and Wizards re-roll channel attempts of a 1.
Mark of Nurgle = -1 to hit in close combat
Mark of Slaanesh = auto-pass Fear/Terror/Panic

Primal Fury is still the same, as is Beastmen Ambush. You can also now roll on the Reign of Chaos table (I'll post later) with the same rules as I stated in my previous post.
So, what would you guys do if some dude came at you with a belt that way?

So going by those marks, this is probably how I would mark these things off the top of my head...

Beastlord- tzeentch
Doombull - nurgle
Great Bray-shaman - maybe none assuming you have to take that lore...
Wargor - tzeentch
Gorebull - nurgle
Bray Shaman - non
Gors - hmm, maybe non, don't see much advantage
Ungors - tempted to go tzeentch and get some 5+ parry?
Ungor Raiders - hmm, probably none, maybe slaanesh at so cheap
Tuskgor Chariot- slaanesh
Minotaurs - nurgle
Centigors - maybe khorne for some punch
Bestigors - khorne again maybe, or nurgle
Razorgor Chariot - nurgle


I heard ambush is the same only you can do it with all units, no 1 for 1. Which is actually kind of cool even if it is still way too random!

Gors should always have ahw and khorne for the most possible ST4 attacks (assuming beast banner).

I'm not 100% sure. It's probably good, but I like to run gors in horde and at 2 extra points a model I feel like I would rather get the extra models. For 50 gors which is what I normally run, that is another 100pts that I could be spending on a chariot or some such. The 40 attacks I already get usually seems pretty good at doing the job.

I could see it on bestigor which I run smaller and who come with few attacks already. Extra Str6 attacks, now you are talking!

Good point, don't see anything so far about that . . . I'll read again.

Yes, my bad, this is also true. In fact, the way it reads, looks like I can have my entire army ambush if they are all Beastmen that have that rule.

Yep, definitely a bummer.  Perhaps it can be repaired?

People would literally have to go back and edit their posts with the new location of the linked images.  Would take forever.  Some of the members on this thread are no longer active while one has passed away.

I was looking for this thread the other month, but couldn’t remember the name of it.

I had to go to the stats sections and look at the most viewed posts to hunt it down.

 :icon_sad: This is one of the threads that got me lurking on the board years and years ago. I remember enjoying the banter back and forth and thinking 'this looks like a fun place'.

Its one of the great ones!  This one spans the later half of the Golden Age of WE.

I like to poke through some of those old threads to remind myself of how great this place was in its prime.

Unearthing this thread, along with my "black box" of 3 Minotaurs and 10 Beastmen has been fun!

All of my Beasts, which started as a detachment to my Undecided Mortal Army, a single herd, a Wargor, and 3 Minotaurs.

Then I got a Doombull, and had to build a Mino Army. I slapped some wings on a minotaur to add a second character to my Mino Army, as an exalted demon.

The Minotaur banner reads: "Eat Mor Humins", a la Chic-fil-a.



I fixed my pictures I think. Apparently adding ~original to the end of the url makes it appear.
