I've been trying to build a decent WoC army but after hours of trying to come up with a balanced list, nothing good managed to come out of it. At least not something I was satisfied with. So I decided I'll run with Beastmen after all, even though I'm not a fan of horde armies in terms of painting and assembling. Otherwise they're always interesting. 
I've decided to go with a mass of Gors instead of the Minotaurs and Chariots, mainly because of the models and my lack of faith in so few models/wounds being able to put up the minimum fight I intend to (meaning that even if I'm going to lose my opponent should work pretty hard for it). Of course I could be easily mistaken, but I prefer to follow my gut feeling whenever I'm in doubt.
So heres the list:
Beastlord; Gnarled Hide, Brass Cleaver, Ramhorn Helm, Blackened Plate, Enchanted Shield - 240
Bray-Shaman; lvl2, Chalice of the Dark Rain, Lore of Beasts - 150
Wargor; BSB, Manbane Standard, Shield, Heavy Armour - 153
29xGors; Musician, Foe-Render, AHW - 247 (BSB)
30xGors; FC, AHW - 265 (Bray-Shaman)
30xGors; FC, AHW - 265 (Ambush)
10xUngor Raiders; Musician - 63
10xUngor Raiders; Musician - 63
10xUngor Raiders; Musician - 63 (Ambush)
10xUngor Raiders; Musician - 63 (Ambush)
29xBestigors; FC, Warrior Bane, Razor Standard - 428 (Beastlord)
Total: 2000
The general idea is the following: the front of the army is made up of the three characters' units arranged in response to my opponent's battle line. These units are flanked by a unit of Raiders on each side. The two ambushing Raiders are supposed to target war machines and other soft, ranged targets, while the ambushing Gor unit is meant to strike at somewhat stronger targets, though in my mind they're a kind of panic button that can help out my main force.
I'm curious what do you think.
