Well I made it back to the UK from Upstate New York (where blizzards happen at the drop of a hat) and my models had not painted themselves whilst I was away. This was somewhat disappointing and a set back as my plan relied heavily on this.
Despite this set back I have finally completed the start of the next Penta for my Army - The Beastmen shall step in to the light.
Don't be shy...
I said...
Oh right. Helps if I turn on the light...
You're looking at 10 Gors, the basic infantry beastie of the, erm, Beastmen.
Lots and lots of fur. Seems fitting as they as beasts right??
Had a few discussions with myself about the shield colours. They were brown until two nights ago!
Then they went blue as shown in the Beastmen do the Beatles impression below.
Pictures now take on a slightly yellowish hue as I seem to have messed up the lighting! Damn it Jim I'm a gamer not a photographer!! The 3 lovely fellows below are the Command section. You'll note the horn is made of ivory. Yes not only am I attempting to upset PETA with the abundance of fur I'm also going after the Ivory business as well.
And a shot of the banner bearer showing that he knows how to walk off in to a sunset.
Next up I have to speed paint something ready for next weekend when the crew are heading off on a pilgrimage to Nottingham and GW HQ. Gaming, drinking and probably not painting are in order.
See you on the other side!
MilesR: - wow those Beastmen are really very nicely painted - most impressive. Looks like we're both traveling to the UK on business but yours seems much more interesting than mine!
Very well done Nick! I think it was the right choice to go for blue shields. Really makes them pop.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was quite the debate involving several cups of tea but blue won out in the end.
DeleteNicely painted Nick, love the skin (hide?) tones.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. Citadel paints are my go to and the skin is Rakarth Flesh with 2 coats of Druchii violet shade.
Deletevery nice beastie boys Nick :)
ReplyDeleteIf there's a party Tamsin then you know what this lot will be doing!
DeleteBloody lovely, the horn really looks perfect

Thanks Ian!
DeleteGreat work! Where in Upstate NY were you? That's my stomping grounds!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. I was in Victor, just along the road from Rochester about an hour East of Buffalo. I'm there again next week for 10 days. Work seem determined to make this challenge more challenging!
DeleteHa! Victor is about 15 minutes up the road from me - I live in Brighton! Small world!
DeleteNice work Nick. I really like the skin color you picked for the beastmen.
ReplyDeleteSuperb Beastmen, Nick. I really like their skintone and I would have never thought of using blue with them, but it works quite well! They must have taken some advice from their more fashion-conscious Slanneshi brethren. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI like the blue shields!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed! I look forward to them rampaging through my forces this weekend ;)
ReplyDeleteIs rampaging where the unit rolls over and presents tummy for rubbing?
DeleteLove the color choice, the red and blue work well
ReplyDeleteGreat looking beast men, love the blue shields.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Great scheme there mate! Love seeing beastmen get some paint as they were my first Warhammer army waaaaay back when I started...
ReplyDeleteAlso I will also be up at WHW this weekend ( Saturday ) with junior.. maybe we will see each other while there! If not, enjoy the gaming!
Thanks Lee. Always liked the Beastmen but never had the opportunity until now.
DeleteIf you happen to see the Beastmen at WHW this Saturday then do feel free to drop by for a chat; although you might need to keep the voice down as we are there Friday night and that usually involves alcoholic beverages :)
And of course that should have said MrLee. That'll teach me to be typing at 3am....
DeleteA very impressive unit. The shields are awesome and there is something quite creepy and sinister about the banner. Well done.
