Ungors are the lowest class in Beastman society, brutalised (an often eaten) by the larger Gors. Nevertheless, they are used in scouting and raiding roles in the army. They form the skirmisher elements (though not very good ones) and provide some (though poor) bow units.
So why bother taking them? They are useful in an ambushing role to take out enemy warmachines from behind, as well as screening the main Gor warrior units.
Even better, I got to put them into action today in a Warhammer game against High Elves. They did very well (for Ungors) but I did like seeing this:
which reminded me of this :-)
Good looking cannon fodder
ReplyDeleteThanks Teemu!
DeleteGreat to see your army coming together and great to hear that this unit made it on table already. It’s important to have a mobile food source with an army, but a bonus if the food source can scout for you too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. Autonomously following logistic supplies could revolutionise warfare as we know it!
Delete200 beastmen? I bet that looks impressive on the table. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll do an army pic at the end
DeleteGreat looking ungors! I bet they're cheap too!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheap but handy in a pinch!
DeleteThanks Iain
Great job Paul! Screening the tougher troops isn't super fun, but SOMEONE has to do it, right?

In Australia we would call them Richmond fans but yes, agree entirely!
DeleteI do want to see the army shot! I do like this project of yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, almost there - when done will be about 7k points in total
