I'm new to both Warhammer Fantasy / Beasts of Chaos, but a longtime user of Army Builder for 40k. Love the product!
Unfortunately, with the new FAQ for Beasts of Chaos, alot of stuff needs to get changed around or people are going to make invalid lists and not even know it!
1: No characters, units, monsters, items or anything else from Hordes of Chaos are valid in a Beastman army anymore. This means no chaos knights, bloodletters, Banner of the Gods, etc. etc. Only items/units specifically listed in Beasts of Chaos are now valid since it is a closed list now. : (
2: Tuskgor chariots may now be given ANY mark, even if no character is mounted. The points cost and benefit is the same as for a regiment as listed in Beasts of Chaos. Chariots must still have the same mark as the character riding them if one is present. Note that Mark of Khorne (unlike the mark of the same name in Hordes of Chaos) for Beasts of Chaos only has no prohibition against frenzy affecting the whole chariot, with Rules As Written this means the whole unit gets it.
3 (minor change, for completeness): For Beast of Chaos casting Indigo Fire of Tzeentch, Bestigors with Mark of Tzeentch may be substituted for Horrors since horrors are not a valid unit for Beasts of Chaos anymore. If there is room in the spell description ( ex. horrors / Tzaangors ) it would be great to include it so people know the option is available. If not, they'll have to figure it out on their own. : )
