New Equipment:

Unstoppable Charge: Razorgors are massive beasts and when their charge starts it cannot be stopped. When a Razorgor is intercepted, the model intercepting the Razorgor automatically takes a str 3 hit and the Razorgor charges the target as normal.
Animal: The Razorgor is far more bestial than its Beastmen brethren and although it may gain experience it may never become a Hero.

Shaggy Hide - The Beastman’s massively shaggy hide acts as armor, deflecting sword strokes and protecting him from harm. The model gains a 6+ Armor Save that can be combined with other armor as normal.

i feel uneasy with these behemots.

You have up to 9 Minotaur (5 of them heros if you have a shaman) in the warband an each one is a powerhouse. After some advances they can get realy strong. I would suggest to decrease their number a little.

Titanic strength seems a little bit over the edge. A doombull can get 2 S7 attacks realy fast this way and strike last is no problem with T4-5 and so many wounds. And other minotaurs can get this skills fast too.
In combination with their great speed (higher than most skaven) they can get to powerfull for many warbands.

I think they need to be weaker or need more drawbacks...
Their missing of range attacks is a small flaw, if you can get shaggy hide with a gromril armor and a shield while wielding a 2h-Sword...

May I recommend that you use one of the Ogre warbands as a model... either the BTB one or the one found on Mordheimer:
http://www.mordheimer.com/warbands/experimental/ogres.htm

I think that some of the measures, such as "all too easy", "knives are for eating", and "gluttony" would go a long way to balancing out what is (at the moment) a very unbalanced warband.

Other thoughts:
Specify whether the Bray shaman is a Beastman or a Minotaur.

Make Bloodgreed affect the leader and Bloodkin only. The Minotaur henchman can learn it as a skill.

Drop the number of Bloodkin to 0-2. A warband this strong does NOT need 5 heroes, even with the Ogre-style nerfs.
