==In Battle== {{Main|Beastmen unit roster}} Beastmen forces primarily consist of fast-moving melee infantry as well as many larger monster units that cause fear and terror. This includes a monstrous infantry [[hero]] called the [[Gorebull]]. They suffer from low [[Leadership]] and low armour, but are quite cheap to recruit and very hard-hitting. Beastmen also have many units which can [[vanguard]] deploy. Generally, a battle with Beastmen will be won or lost early on. Beastmen often rush towards the enemy, since they are weak to ranged attacks and have few ranged options themselves. Though the [[Cygor]] is a powerful monster artillery unit. Most Beastmen units have the [[Abilities|ability]] [[Primal Fury]] (Minotaur units have [[Bloodgreed]] and non-Beastmen units like Giants, Harpies, and Razorgors have neither) which gives melee attack, speed, and charge bonus so long as the unit's leadership is above 50%. This emphasizes the play style of aggressive and fast charges that fade away as units get weaker and lose morale. Finally, almost every unit on the roster has the [[Woodsman (Attribute)]] which allows them to pass through trees and are unhindered by that terrain type. Beastmen have several [[Regiments of Renown]] available. These are elite, unique versions of standard Beastmen units. ===Magic=== Beastmen [[spellcasters]] have access to 4 lores of magic, one of which is unique to their race: * [[File:Icon wh main lore beasts.png|38px]][[Lore of Beasts]] * [[File:Icon wh main lore death.png|38px]][[Lore of Death]] * [[File:Icon wh main lore shadow.png|38px]][[Lore of Shadows]] * [[File:Icon wh main lore wild.png|38px]][[Lore of the Wild]] Beastmen do not rely on [[magic]] too heavily, and can take an army with no spellcasters. However it can still be a powerful strategy for them, as they have access to [[summons]] and direct damage [[spells]]. Uniquely, from Total War: Warhammer II onwards, [[Malagor the Dark Omen]] has access to a combination of spells from the Lore of Wild, Beasts, Death and Shadows. This sets him apart from other Beastmen casters.
