Beastmen - No? Bestmen!!!

It had been far too long since I showed my Beastmen some love, so I recently finished a couple of units for them and thought I'd do an army photo shoot. Problem - it's too big to fit on the table. Instead, a series of photos as the Nasty Bug tribe emerges from the forests of the Drakwald to prey upon the unsuspecting village of Bludhof.

Centigors, Ungors and a Razorgor chariot...

Gargantua, some Chaos Warhounds and some Gors and Beastigors (the new units) in the background


More Gors, a Chaos Spawn and the Warlord, Beast Shaman and Battlestandard bearer...

A great many more Gors and the Minotaur herd of Bloodmane the Doombull...

Ungor raiders move among the trees, planning an ambush...

Gargantua!

From out of the deep dark forests of the Drakwald emerges Gargantua to fight alongside the beastmen.

The axe comes from a Bloodthirster (I think) and is metal and makes it somewhat unstable.

I'm reasonably pleased with the job I did on the hooves at least.

High Elf Cavalry

Following on from my last post, some other stuff I've been working on and a contrast in styles.

High Elf cavalry comes in three flavours - The Elyrian Reavers (fast cavalry), The Silverhelms (normal cavalry) and The Dragon Princes (elite cavalry).

Both the Reavers and the Dragon Princes have had new figures in the past 3 years and they're fantastic - albiet highly detailed and a PITA to paint. The Silverhelms date back to 1999 and are very ordinary.

And so...

The Elyrian Reavers


Silverhelms


And Dragon Princes




More tomorrow...

3 months! Must be time for an update

Yes update time. I kind of abandoned this blog for a bit as Blogger was being "difficult" in linking to pictures hosted at Photobucket.

But it all seems to be working now, so time for some updates and with three months to catch up on, that means there's a few of them.

First up, some Greenskins. I picked up a (very cheap) second hand copy of "Battle for Skull Pass" and some other second hand Orcs too. I'm not collecting an army of them, I've really only got them for use in our Warhammer RPG sessions.

To start, here's Grumlock and his Gobbo shaman Gazbag. Came free with the Collectors Edition of Warhammer Online. A very heavy figure it is too.

Various Night Goblins...



A troll...


Various Orcs...


And some Spider Riders...


I'll post another update either later today or tomorrow, still go heaps to go...
