Beastie Boys

[Old Hob]

As promised a comparison photo. I didn't have any Broo or preslotta beastmen so I used my Malal Perry beastman from the Red Catalogue. I am surprised that there is very little scale difference I assumed more, although the knightmare ones are sort of crouching (?). Hope this is of use.

You legend. Thank you. Tbh some of the broo are big boys compared to the early Realm of Chaos stuff (and some others are quite tiny).

 

[Old Hob]

I follow him too, but keep with your look.
They feel more sort of historical folk lore creatures, which I dig.
If you go brighter they would be great I am sure, but lose that sort of toned down earthy look and feel more high fantasy?

Thanks buddy. You've reminded me of the original plan. Appreciated.

Comparison is the thief of joy and all that.

 

[The Serene Badger]

I mean, if ever there was a group where size differences could be expected, it'd be a mob of beastmen?

 

[Old Hob]

Latest efforts.

First up we have a Fiend Factory FF68 Goat-headed Ogre (1982).



C27 Chaos Beastmen 'Axe Wielder' (1985)



CH4 Chaos Beastmen 'Merd' (1987)

Mostly a bit before my time but all very nice nevertheless. Liking the new basing regime.

What are you using for shields for those that need them?

 

[Brother Meredith]

Ill! Great to see some older beasties! No sleep till Bogenhafen for these guys! 😎

Luckily I have aaccumulated a stash of metal shields in my bitzbox. Merd has been kitted out with an uruk shield from Ragnarok Miniatures.

Lest we forget, Chaos Beastmen fought, and quite possibly died, for our right to party.

Great stuff again. Is it odd that my eye is constantly drawn to the penis?

 

[Citizen Sade]

Yes, very 😉

Na, you made that up! that would require the adult tag ^_^
that's a fleshly tuber growth

 

[symphonicpoet]

Oh, brilliant! Some lovely beasties. I hope they have the best parties.

Breaking the rule of 'faces and bases'.

even stranger that @Michael Stockin's eye should be drawn to one of those.

This poor old broo had lost his spear tip and his horns!



So I've greenstuff'd him some new horns and decided to convert him into a standard bearer. The standard topper is a random piece I saw on eBay. It was sold as a 40K bit, but I really don't have a clue where it's from. Any ideas?

Not sure on the banner, is that a greenstuff base?

With the preslottas I run a bit of greenstuff around the edge of the puddle base and grade it into the slotta base so that it doesn't stand proud.

Fancy, I just use plasticene and then coat with superglue. Cheaper and takes less than a minute from start to finish...
Not as robust, but once the basing gunk is applied all is well.

Not sure it's busting the bank. I bought about £6-worth over 18 months ago and still have some left. And I tend to use the leftover bits for the base - I always manage to mix too much.
