DO YOU REMEMBER THE 80'S? Perhaps you're a goatboy fan? Perhaps you have more mature tastes? Maybe you need BEASTMEN. Returning once more to bleat on and on, Rob ventures into the deepest darkwood to explore the many awesome options available to you in the Beastmen Brayherds for Warhammer the Old World.

Even if you may not be beast-curious, be sure to watch as these fellas are more fury that furry in Old World and are one of Robs favorite lists to date.

    Need to watch out for them suspicious bushes
  • I wanted to post a comment like this in the previous videos, but other people already said everything I was thinking. These videos are very well made and we can feel the hard work behind it. This kind of stuff do more for the OW game than all GW’s promotion campaign. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait for the next army.
  • @PRAISE_HASHUT
    Good to see Beastmen a big threat again, feeling very positive about this new edition and the thought that’s gone into the rules. Really hope the legacy PDF is equally as well put together!
  • @squidjuice666
    I was so convinced I'd go dawi but honestly something about beastmen has always tickled me AND I could actually buy them right now instead of waiting for gw's janky schedual hmmmm.. thanks for the great video rob and the based crew!
  • @thomasbrook8824
    Just as im thinking ... "I wonder if Beastmen could be the one?" ... the man does it again🎉. You two have single handedly revived my passion for Old-world, and for wargames in general. Keep doing the thing my dudes! Truely #squareblessed
  • @Downvotingpeople
    Chariot Runner makes it seem like Beastie carts are gonna make a big showing
  • Beast men are so iconically old world and I don't think they ever really found their hook in Sigmar. Hope they get their love in Old World (and maybe they survive getting folded into StD in sigmar)
  • I absolutely LOVE Dragon Ogres and Shagoths! Kholek Suneater is one of my favorite character is WFB and I can't wait for him to smash the living lightning out of my opponent's army! As always, great army overview, and thanks for all you do for the Square Based community!
  • @mikkel6938
    It gives me so much nostalgia seeing all these old units and mechanics return for my favorite fantasy army! Beasts of chaos is what originally got me into warhammer back 17 years ago, and I worked for so long building up a modest collection without ever getting to actually play them. Looking forward to finally bringing out the herd against my new friends! Thank you for the great video
  • @davidweeks745
    These creatures are crazy....and im loving it 😂 great background dump once again, well done guys 🙌 being a new player and only coming from a middle earth background its all very different for me 😂
  • @Slothasaur
    Another great video, these overviews have been such a good series! I love how much flavour the rules allow for, with units like the chaos giant being the biggest examples but even with the less complex units as well
  • @Horatius12B1
    The subject matter brought me in, passion and open-minded commentary got me to subscribe. You are my official go-to for examining this game and it's armies outside of local gameplay. Excellent work you guys! And as Bray-herd 8th edition refugee I sincerely thank you for validating my excitement for the Old World. I am very much looking forward to any Beastmen tacticas you'll have coming out as my 100+ gors are looking for to add more meat to the menu. AoS was never an option for me and the Herd has been getting tired of me feeding them Space Marines.
  • @MegaLith18
    Great and substantive overview and kudos to the editor as well for the concise presentation!
  • @MarcoRoccaGert
    These overviews are great! Clear, concise, and well structured. I am sure a lot of work goes into making these, so: thanks Rob! (Keep them coming!!!!)
  • @benjamin2629
    Within a minute you had me wanting to go through my boxes and find my Gors and start modelling. I spent my whole lunch break looking up STL's for monsters that I could print. Thanks Rob, I appreciate the enthusiasm.
  • @40what37
    I love that you covered Beasts of Chaos. They are usually not all that loved but the models are cool and the rules make them just random enough to be super fun if not super powerful.
  • @mward5962
    (With regards to combat wizards at 9:36) Combat Wizards? Don't think so small, think of the Wizarding Hat... ...THINK OF DOOMBULLS. (Surgeon Generals note: You should never do this it isn't going to work and you'll probably fail your stupidity test every other turn in the game if you do and then lose a wound the one time you don't want to roll a six when you do manage to pull it off. Don't you do it, the 12 attack Strength 10 Minotaur isn't real, he's never going to be except when it's completely unneccesary and ghoulish overkill.)
  • @lord.bragon
    My favorite army! Thank you for the great content recently.
  • @roboticgadfly
    I think your analysis is spot on! Beastmen seem a fun and wild list to take. I'm particularly keen to run double ghorgons (like I did back in the day) to keep all the dragon lords honest! 😅
  • @getorix1
    The mutant chicken is an auto include purely on rule of cool for me. Game wise initial thought is a flexible tech piece / flank monster zipping in to take out warmachines supporting into flanks or even petrifying a couple of wounds off very tough but low initiative characters or monsters. Equally possible it's just trying to be too clever at too much for it's own mutant good at 170 points though 😂
