You are correct.

There are several types of beastmen:

The Brays
The runts, smallest weakest and have no horns

The Ungors
Bigger than the brays but are weaker, less intelligent and physically smaller than the Gors.

The Gors
Bigger, stronger tougher than the Ungors

The Bestigors
The Elite beastmen type, they are the biggest and strongest, they use the best weapons and armour of all Beastmen.

I need new pants after that.

Oh, I thought you guys weren't going to do Beastmen. When did that change?

rebels and brigands perhaps

There has to be something lurking in the Imperial forests, mm?


To answer questions:

From the GW website

(Ungor on the left, Gor on the right)

GORS
The most powerful Beastmen are called Gors. Their appearance varies more greatly than most races but all combine some bestial features with those of a man. The base form of the Beastmen, and that possessed by the vast majority, has come to be that of the head and legs of a goat and the upper body of a man. As creatures of Chaos, however, the Beastmen display almost infinite variations of this guise. Many have the horns or head of cattle rather than goats, while others may possess even stranger mutations.

UNGORS
Ungors are not as strong, tough or intelligent as the Gors. They are physically smaller and their horns are almost always less impressive and numerous. Ungor are extremely cruel and spiteful creatures, taking out their jealously of the Gors on foes in battle, captives, Brays (those Beastmen without any horns) or anything else incapable of putting up much of a fight. In battle the Ungors join the Gors in unruly herds, charging towards the enemy with thoughts only of rending them apart. The Gors always push their way to the front of a fight, and so the Ungors jab between their larger cousins with their crude spears.

Nutella's guy is a Gor - a base beastman shape. I can't wait to see it with some gear and shoddy armor! That guy is amazing, Nutella. Hacking apart Ungor spearmen and unruly Gor warbands with imperial patrols is going to be great.

I'm really pleased (though not surprised) to see such attention given to rebel units, much better than, say, just sticking a bunch of grey-coloured units and calling them "brigands" or something. Looks great too.

And of course Alletun, your texturing work is second to none in the modding community. Staggering quality.

The beast man looks fantastic!

Question: Have you considered adding them to the Chaos faction? Locking them out as rebels or mercs only is quite unfair IMHO. Since there are a lot of Beast men players and it is a full official WHF faction...

Maybe a mechanic can be made with scripts that would allow a chaos player to choose what version of chaos they want? Example: you start the game the game as chaos, and build one of a choice of buildings that dictates what recruitment etc. options one could have a la Europa Barbarorum's government system? Just an idea. I'm sure someone cleverer than I could figure out a way to make it work.

actually the biggest beastmen (not taking into account the minotaur) is the beastmen chieftain or perhaps the shaman

I do like the look of that Beastman, though there are a few things which do not quite seem right about it.

1) The torso is too broad, a small amount of slimming would fit a Gor.
2) Bring the horns closer to the head, currently, they end up too far away from the head.
3) Elongate the head alittle, to make it appear more animalish.

Other than that, it looks really great. I assume horns will end up being random in looks.
