Yep, I said crazy!
I rather enjoy comments such as "I've never played an army of X like this before!"
I have played a few games so far with this list, started off with shadow instead of Wild on the 2nd Lvl4 but swapped it out.
If people are interested I could try and start some blog type thing for as long as my interest holds? Mayhap similar to Swordmasters super duper reports, although I dont know how to do his fancy reports.
Anyway, your giggles, tactics and bad match-up suggestions and comp opinions are all more then welcome, and wanted.

I actually decided to do a list very similar to the one you are describing here several years ago, right when the new beastman book came out. I had previously 4 beastman chariots. I then ran out and purchased another 8 and converted 3 of them to be razorgor chariots and made the chariots mounts for my characters so they wouldn't occupy points in my special selection. Its actually a rather scary list, but you need to use lore of beasts and lore of the wild.
I really don't think you need two lvl4 casters. One lvl4 Lore of Beast caster with two lvl2 Lore of the Wild caster.
What you want to get off is Bestial Surge as much as possible.
Take a Beastlord or Wargor with Horn of the Great Hunt surge up as much as possible till your sitting right infront of your opponent. I personally used spawns to drive up between the chariots, so that my opponent was faced with unbreakable units in their face and chariots right behind ready for the next turns charge. Giants and Ghorgons can also be used.
Ungors with bows are great and peeling off fast cav and things with Vanguard also good at warmachine hunting.
Minotaurs are always good
I think the Ungors and harpies and single Razorgor will disappoint you.

Thanks for the reply!
The double Lvl4's do seem a bit of overkill, but there are items I just need with this list (Hag tree, Chalice of dark rain and staff of Darkoth). The lvl4 death never lets me down, he gives me a fighting chance half of the time. Not crucial if he dies early but makes a big difference. I could drop the Wild down to lvl3, but then I am not 100% able to put whatever spell I want onto the lvl1.
Also they help burn away dispel dice, and should one fail to dispel, I've still got the +4 bonus which I need without a scroll.
A fighting Beasts shaman is a powerful goat, and IMO the strongest off all the lores for Beastmen (if going with beast banner Gors) as you are not just relying on mindrazor, but buffing the shaman to kingdom come and kills = PD.
I agree that I'm not sold on the performance of just one razorgor and unit of harpies, but I need some chaff, and something to jump on fanatics/mangler squigs. Also they are quite good and scaring away Ironblasters.
What would you suggest I drop them for?
And, how did you find Razor chariots? They are very good, but 2x core chariots really puts the numbers on the field. I would like more. There will be losses from range/magic/panic and I still need a couple to hit at once.
