Tzimisce169 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi all, I have a warhammer beastman army that I have never used. I was thinking about converting it into a daemon world army. Obviously it would need a lot off GS armour and weapon moding but I was thinking of the following: Gors & ungors = cultists. Bestigors = chosen. Minotaurs = mutilators. Ghorgon = maulerfiend. What do my fellow chaos lords think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 if you can make it believable and understandable of what's what, sure! Beastmen are in the 40k universe, though they have never had they're own codex and they've taken a bit of a back stage lately. That being said, beastmen are known to live in the eye of terror so what's saying they can't be an army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I would be tempted to use minotaurs as spawn. Mutilators seem dreadful, though to be fair I haven't tried playing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think it can work, a good friend of mine does skaven count as tyranids. Here is a 40k beastman/marine army I found awhile ago for inspiration ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsc Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'm usually all for count-as, but this seem abit difficult to pull trough. But as long as you play in a friendly environment and stay away from GW-arranged tournaments, you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 You should be okay even with GW tournaments. They tend to have an issues with third party models. Beastmen as cultists ect will be fine I reckon. You will probably have to give them the right wargear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Taint Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think it's a brilliant idea. There's nothing wrong with a properly counts-as army. The one that has been linked above is just great and I'd love to play an army like that! I'd go for it. Cheers, JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 If Goatboy on BoLS can pull off several armies of Beastmen/Marine hybrids as legal tournament armies, I'd say it's quite acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperors Immortals Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Check out Legio Imprint 2 its eye of terror related issue with a conversion article with 2 different Beastmarines conversion ideas. I myself have a unit around here using Beastmen and the SM carapace and pauldrons with straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, beastmen are known to live in the eye of terror so what's saying they can't be an army? Seem to remember there being one in the Inquisitor Trilogy by Ian Watson when Jaq Draco et al go to the Eye of Terror... Great book.

WarlordEXE Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 As long as you can tie it back into what the units are supose to be in some easy identifiable way then its ok. Its easier to do this with Traitor IG as almost all the units the codex use the same model. So its kinda of welcome to see the different units have different looking models. I kinda have a traitor IG WIP (chaneled it more into chaos army once i learned about cultists) and the higher up in rank a guard was the more 'gifted he was.' So that being said, members of command squads were beast men like. Used the legs (cut torso off) of gors, chest of guard trooper and gun, and beastman head. Its beast man cause the legs and head, but easiliy identifiable as to what it is by the trooper chestplate and lasgun/special weapon. Contrast this with the basic traitor guards (platoons squads and what not) that are just evil looking cadians with very minor mutations and suddenly you have a converted 'counts as' army thats easy for your opponent to follow. So long story short, make sure your opponent can follow what you did and life is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
