Beastmen Raiders

By Shadowlord Tuomas Pirenen

Beastmen are brutish

creatures, the
Children of Chaos and
Old Night. They roam
the great forests of
the Old World, and
are amongst the
most bitter enemies
of mankind.
The raging power
of Chaos has
given them a
ferocious
vitality which
makes them
shrug off
ghastly

wounds and carry on fighting regardless of the

consequences. Even the Orcs are comparatively
vulnerable to damage compared to the
awesome vitality of the Beastmen.
Beastmen are a crossbreed between men and
animals, usually resulting in the horned head
of a goat, though many other variations are
also known to exist. The Beastmen are divided
into to two distinct breeds: Ungors, who are
more numerous, twisted creatures that
combine the worst qualities of man and beast,
and Gors, a giant breed of Beastmen, a mix
between some powerful animal and man.
The Ungor are smaller Beastmen, who cannot
compete with Gors in strength and power.
They may have one horn or many, but these
wont be recognised as those of goat.
Shamans are very special Beastmen and are
revered by all Beastmen, for they are the
prophets and servants of Chaos Powers.
Each warband of Beastmen includes a mix of
some Bestigor, Gor warriors and Ungor who
are the mainstay of the tribes.
Seven great Herdstones stand hidden in the
forests surrounding the city of Mordheim.
From there the Beastmen warbands come to
raid the city: Warherd of Thulak, Headtakers
of Gorlord Zharak, the Horned Ones of
Krazak Gore, and many others.
The shards of the meteorite are seen as
holy objects, which can be sold to the
powerful Beastlords and revered
Shamans in exchange for new weapons
and services of warriors.
For the tribes of Beastmen the battles
fought in Mordheim are part of a great
religious war, an effort to bring down the
civilisation of man which offends the
Chaos Gods. After the taint of man has
been wiped from the face of the earth
then the Beastmen shall inherit.
Appearance: Beastmen Gors stand
some six-seven feet tall, and their
heavily muscled bodies are covered with
fur. Ungor are lesser beastmen, no

larger than humans, but their tough bodies

and vicious tempers easily make them a match
to any human warrior.
Beastmen wear little clothing, but often dress
in the fur of their defeated rivals. They usually
carry the skulls of their vanquished enemies as
these are thought to bring good luck. While
most Beastmen have dark brown skin and fur,
black-furred or even albino Beastmen are not
unknown.
Beastmen wear heavy armlets and necklaces
which serve as armour as well as decoration.
Apart from the most primitive clubs and
wooden shields, the Beastmen make few
weapons. It is not the nature of Chaos to
create, but to destroy.

A Beastman Warband must include a minimum
of 3 models. You have 500 Gold Crowns which
you can use to recruit your initial warband.

which was once ours, will be so
again.
The Gods call us for the Great

puny man-things shall die and the
stones of Chaos shall be brought to
the Herdstones.
