    Default Warmachine player looking at getting a Hordes army

    I play Cygnar in Warmachine. I like running lots of jacks and solos and not many, if any, units. I want to pick up on of the new plastic Hordes groups, but I want something that I can run lots of beasts with no units. Any suggestions?

    Either Kaya likes lots of beasts for Circle, and Baldur likes lots of Wolds.

    Skorne can be played with no unit, well a unit of pain givers is really helpful, but other than that..a bronze back and gladiators galore

    Legion is the most Beast Heavy, consistently, of the Hordes factions.

    Seconding Legion. Most of our locks are capable of running very beast heavy thanks to special abilities, beast buffs and our fury management solos of forsaken and shepherds. Check out Legion's list discussion forum to get an idea.

    I would say Legion. Get 2 x forsaken, 2 x shepherds and you are set to go

    all hordes factions tend to focus on the battlegroup, with limited amounts of supporting infantry and solos for the most part. you can pretty much go beast heavy, with no worries with most factions. anything in particular catch your eye?

    I play Cygnar, Mercs, and Legion. If you want beast heavy with solos then Legion is the one for you. You can make competative lists that have nothing but beasts and solos.

    This is the case for all Horde factions.

    I appreciate all the responses. After careful consideration, I have chosen Skorne as my Hordes faction. Only time will tell if my decision is the correct one.
