MinotaursMinotaurs are the largest of all the Beastmen warriors and are for the first time available as a multi-part plastic set, making it easier to field unique units of these towering brutes. Bestigor HerdBestigor are the elite of the Beastmen infantry. More aggressive and bloodthirsty than the rest of the warherd, they are armed with the best weapons and armour, and are an ideal unit to build your battle-line around. Gor HerdGor are the Archetypal Beastmen and should form the bulk of any Beastmen warherd. With a Weapon Skill and Toughness of 4, Gors are more than a match for the warriors of other races. Ungor HerdUngor are sly and dextrous, and can fight with short bows, spears or hand weapons. Able to disrupt an enemy's advance and ambush his war machines, they are essential to your warherd's success. Warhammer Armies: BeastmenThe ultimate guide to the history and forces of the Beastmen, this is the first ever stand-alone Beastmen army book and contains all of the rules and information you'll need to field a Beastmen army.

Ghorros Warhoof Ghorros Warhoof has fathered thousands of powerful Centigors and grants any unit of Centigors he leads +1 Weapon Skill.

News: Incoming! Legion of the Damned

Hey all, another GW Newsletter arrives, this time with some news from GD Italy: New Legion of
the Damned!

Issue 65 The Games Workshop Newsletter 18.10.2009

In this issue: Incoming! Legion of the Damned

Incoming! Legion of the Damned

Today at Games Day Italy we unveiled the all-new metal Legion of The Damned models.

The Legion of The Damned are Spaces Marines in appearance. Their black armour is adorned with chilling images of bone and fire, and an eerie glow suffuses their sable armour and a halo of ghostly fire dances about their feet. Considered by some to be an extension of the Emperor’s superhuman will and by others as the vengeful and immortal spirits of fallen Space Marines, Damned Legionnaires fight with a chill precision few mortal warriors can match.

Out in January, the Legion of The Damned are an Elite Space Marine unit who can always Deep Strike and can even opt to re-roll the deep strike scatter dice. Also, their 3+ saving throw is invulnerable.

Apparently there will be something like 10-15 different LotD models. In either case this one certainly looks cool and it might be fun to try them out in a few games. What do you guys think?
