Warhammer - Beastmen 1.7 (beta) out now!

Well, I did say it was going to be a quick update, and quick it was! As mentioned, not a ton of changes overall. Some new characters (finally allowing you to take Centigor and Ungor heroes) and a new unit in the form of Balewolves. The spells have been greatly expanded with the spells from Warriors of Chaos, as has the Lore of the Wild. There's also quite a lot of new magic items added. Apart from that it's mostly just some tweaks and new options, as well as added consistency from Warriors of Chaos.

Hope you enjoy the update, and thanks for your continued support!
