I was even being nice and including the extra units that are already in the game again. No matter what way you slice it, you're getting more unique units with Wood Elves. Wood Elves: Glade Guard, Eternal Guard, War Dancers, Wildwood Rangers, DW Scouts, Waywatchers, Wild Riders, Glade Riders, Hawk Riders, Sisters of Thorn, Dryads, Treekin, Treeman, Great Eagle, Forest Dragon Now if we're talking about without variations.īeastmen: Ungor Raiders, Ungors, Gors, Bestigors, Minotaurs, Centigors, Razorgors, Razorgor Chariot, Chaos Spawn, Cygor, Giant, Warhounds, Harpies Even if you give Beastmen the units that are already in the game, they have less units total. Not counting characters Wood Elves have 22 unique units. 20 if you count giants, chaos warhounds/poison, and chaos spawn. Not counting characters Beastmen have 16 unique units. So my recommendation is go with the Woodies. Their lords play in a very different manner where as beastmen lords being superior in awesome factor, tend to be closer to how they play with one another. They have a different settlement system (the whole outpost thing). Their army fights in a way drastically different from all the other armies. Where your army is your settlement, but that to me doesn't offer a long enough list of uniqueness. If you don't have Chaos then you of course will miss out on the build a base/horde aspect of it. Greenskins are in the base game so you are already familiar with the system the Greenskins uses, which the beastmen emulate (fightiness and the ability to have a second army show up and fight for you). Main reason being is the Wood Elves offer a different playstyle from other factions where as the beastmen play like Chaos mixed with Greenskins. Still, do you have the Chaos DLC? If so than definitely go Wood Elves. Both factions have a hard start but getting really strong in mid and late game.Īs much as I despise elves and I love my beastmen.I would suggest Wood Elves. Wile the Beastman dont miss a important Unit its still less Topic: Both are good DLCs.

If you reduce all Units with different Weapons or shields to one they still got more. i think woodelfs have more different units then beastman. Minotaurs are also probably some of the coolest units in the game, and also the most powerful monster. Where with the Eternal Guard its all Anti-Large. I think you mean Ungors not Gors btw, but at least the variation there is between ranged, and anti-large, or general purpose. I think the Beastmen Roster is much more varied. Really?ģ Varients of Glade Guard, 2 varients of Eternal Guard, 2 Varients of Wild Rider, 2 Varients of Deepwood Scouts. Minotaurs/Cygors and strong lord/heroes make it a cool roster, but it's not all that varied. Then 3 variations of Minotaurs, and 3 variations of Centigors. More units/more varied roster.Ĥ units in Beastmen is variations of Gors. Originally posted by Lyle Ugleman:I'd say Wood Elves has more value in it.
