    My funniest experience playing Beastmen was actually not in Total War, but in the Warhammer Fantasy tabletop RPG.
    I was a bestigor in Empire lands and had to find some humans to sacrifice. The local bray shaman sent me to a logging encampment with a couple of households.
    On my way there I encountered 3 lumberjacks, who only had axes for chopping wood. I thought they were an easy prey...
    Anyways, I charge at them, manage to knock down one of them, and then proceed to have the worst rolls ever in any rpg I ever played. They proceeded to knock me down, the guy I knocked down gets up, and all 3 of them hack me to pieces.
    To this day I laugh every time I remember this game, it was like something out of Monty Python, a supposedly elite monster that misses every hit with his axes against a couple of lumberjacks.

      Beastman player here, that sounds entirely accurate. I learned that if you try to square up toe to toe with nearly any other army, you WILL lose as the Beastmen. The trick is to use charge blocking to even the odds: drag the enemy army down to your level of trash, and beat them with experience. They had some nasty tricks up their furry sleeves if you knew how to apply them

      Sorry to ruin it but any herbivore would eat meat if given the chance. Why let up on an easy source of protein and munch on grass for hours to make up for it. It's mostly their inability to hunt that makes them not want to chase down humans and other critters,but make no mistake they'll find your corpse to be very appetizing.

    According to Norse mythology, during a thunderstorm Thor rode in a chariot pulled by two goats, Tanngrisnir (Norse for "teeth-barer") and Tanngnjóstr ("teeth grinder"). When he was hungry, Thor ate his goats, only to resurrect them with his hammer, maybe this is why the beast man are mad at Sigma?

      Even funnier, once the small farm boy (don’t recall the name) that went on to be Thor’s chariot boy was offered by Thor to cut up and prepare the meat for his family to eat. But Thor warned him not to eat the bone marrow of the goats. Of course the little shit did that an anyway, and so when the goats were resurrected, one of them ran with a limp. Thor didn’t take to kindly to that and basically enslaved the child to go on wild godly adventures with him as punishment.

      I think the simplest way to fix them (as a threat) is to ratchet up the models in units, or just the melee attack without increasing defences. They should be randomly appearing juggernauts that flatten a whole province before your army can return to fend them off.

    But if you are a lone hero fighting the Vermintide, the Minotaurs are quite the annoyance, and I admit that Doombulls are quite the danger, having thwarted many an unorganised expedition.

    fought some beastmen in a warhammer tabletop session im in, was cool, the leader had spikes all over him that would shoot out at people who tried to melee attack him, i almost immeadetly got a crit and cut him in half and caused the couple of beastmen with him to fail a willpower check and run away lol, it was fun

    My head canon for why beastmen look like satyrs and centuars and minotaurs (mostly) and why ratmen all have a more or less stable rat-humanoid form is that Beastmen are men (and women I guess) that through the winds of magic, direct chaos influence or perhaps even beastman inseminating a human woman, are all either mutated humans or offspring of mutated humans, with forms that are technically still in flux for mutation. On the other hand ratmen are actually from rats living under human cities being contaminated by warpstone deposits underground and even perhaps in the sewers of human civilizations. This fits with their behavior too, as you have beastmen who are men but become tainted and hate civilization and order, and rats who wish to be like men with technology and ambitions for power.
    Anyone else even think of this? Anyone agree with me?

    • @FrankCastle-tq9bz
      @FrankCastle-tq9bz 4 года назад +14

      Blayze47 Actually, the lore of the Skaven is pretty vague - even the scholars of the Warhammer universe can’t agree as to whether they are mutant rats or former humans with rat-like characteristics. Even the Skaven themselves don’t really have much information on their history as the warring clans keep re-writing the record of events to cast themselves in the best possible light!
      So it may very well be that the Skaven are mutant rats that desire the trappings of human society - the lore doesn’t contradict this idea at all.

      @@keegobricks9734 lorewise, the god of the Skaven is the Horned rat... on the other side, Beastmen view horns as the token of powers, so Gors look down on tiny horned Ungors, who look down on hornless beasts (forgot their name). Put these together and any Beastman is a God to the Skaven, and look down on them as if they were filth, cementing the behaviour.....

    '...Beastmen worship strength almost as much as they worship Chaos. The champions of the Ruinous Powers are among the greatest warriors to walk this world, Grimnir damn them!'
    "I thought the beasts were simply mutants, human exiles devolved into man-beasts, altered by the power of warpstone. Certain of our learned professors claim as much."
    Gotrek shook his head as if despairing at the folly of mankind.
    "Such mutants follow the hordes as lackeys or camp followers but the beastmen proper are a separate race, with origins back in the Age of Woe. They date from the time of the first incursions of Chaos into this world, from when the Dark Powers first ventured through the Polar Gates to trouble this sad planet. They may well be the first-born children of Chaos and the Old Night" - The Trollslayer, William King

    In the campaign map, they are so infuriating to play with and against simply because of a lackluster gameplay mechanic. I sincerely hope that CA revamp them soon, because man are they extremely fun to play with and against.

      I know this is from a year ago but I'd like to say, not really.
      The divisions are based on immutable traits of each subrace and the leader's position is maintained through strength alone and can be challenged at any time.
      If a hierarchy can be upended at any time in any manner, then it isn't very orderly.
