Just returned from my first game against the new beastmen. I was prepred to get massacred but somehow managed to massacre my opponents army.
(In retrospect, We forgot one important thing. That a gut magic spell ends when the caster is slain. That could have changed a few things.)
He had (roughly:
Beastlord with 1+ save and a bound spell that destroys arcane item and wounds their owners. also some armour that inflicted a S5 hit for every save.
2 Bray shamans. 3 Scrolls
Minotaur hero with axes of khorgor. (+1 attack and reroll?)
2 ranked units of gors
2 ranked units of ungors
2 skirmishing units of 5 ungors with bows
2 units of harpies
2 units of minotaurs (one with GW and one with add hand weapons)
1 Gorgon
1 Cygor

He got first turn and advanced. He had a unit of scouting harpies that moved behind my line. Magic did nothing exept forcing his units on the left flank to move D6+1 (He thought it was that units COULD move but they MUST move) He rolled a six and moved 7" towards me.
Tyrant, 3 Ironguts, a butcher charged his minotaurs with mino hero. The rhinox rider flanked the same unit. He had one wound left on a mino when combat was over and I ran him down. Leadbelchers shot a unit of warhounds into nothingness, panicking his ranked gors with both bray shamans. I moved into position with the rest of my units.
Turn 2.
He cursed... alot. Then his gorgon charged my leadbelchers who died and overran into my gnoblars who were also charged by his scouting harpies. gnoblars died and the gorgon now had like 9 attacks. (it gets one more attack for every combat i wins. The Cygor threw a stone a my butcher with rock eye (who stood on a hill looking at magic items within units) but missed.
On my right flank i shoot another unit of warhound with sharp stuff and bonecrushers. The scraplauncher shoot at a unit of ranked ungors and panicked them of the board.
On my left the tyrant and ironguts moved into position to charge the gorgon next turn.
Turn 3
He declared a charge with his harpies into my scraplauncher and if they made their feartest the Cygor could charge my bull (getting away from my tyrant and ironguts). Fortunatelly the harpies failed and the cygor was stuck. The beastlord and the remaining 2 warhounds charged my gnoblars who fled. The gorgon moved into position to charge my ironguts who were threatening the cygor.
I charged into the cygor killing it and overran into a unit of gors with my tyrant, the ironguts stuck behind him. The ironguts on the left right flank moved up to the minos and shoot at inflicting one wound on the minos and 3 on themselves. A unit of ironguts charged his lone beastlord who fled.
Turn 4.
The gorgon charged the ironguts, but thanks to trollguts they held. The tyrant won the combat agaisnt the gors but they held.
Turn 5
The gorgon wiped the ironguts and overran into the tyrant. The tyrant held thanks to trollguts (which he should have lost when the butcher casting it died, but we both forgot). The tyrant killed the gorgon and the gors ran, my tyrant after them.
The minos charged the leadbelchers who fled.
The tyrant and 3 ironguts charged the minos wiping them out.
End of game!
