CH4 Chaos Beastmen 'Zolkor' (1987)

He swiped the shield from a Vendel Miniatures orc. The skull motif is a modern GW transfer (thought I'd give it a whirl).

A wonderful paint job on a great figure. And that transfer is a good choice at it gives me 'henchman of an evil shaman type vibes.'

And for what it's worth, no mohawk = not Jez Goodwin in my simplified view of the universe

Great whirls, no matter who sculpted it. I love the sort of rhino face. Glorious stuff! And the shield fits very well. Bravo!

According to Lost Minis Wiki, the '87 range was sculpted by Adams, Goodwin and Copplestone.

well, if no one else want's him, i'll have a punt on copplestone.

Great rhino hide on this one. Great colors.

Another rhino-guy.

And based on the concept art of the mighty JB (RIP, sir).

Those concept sketches are so inspiring!!

They were published in Heroes for Wargames. JB's concept sketches for the SS3 Knights of Chaos set are wild!

Looking great Hob! And excellent choice of concept art. The skin tones on the rhino look great, and the metal of the shield is perfect.

Yup! I went to check on the book after seeing your post and hearing the sad news...

Excellent! Got this guy (Broo with Heavy Spiked Mace) somewhere & never realised its a skinned fox or something like hanging off its belt on the mini!

I spent ages trying to work out whose tail it was! I'm sure it's supposed to be from the pelt, but I painted it as the broo's because I thought it would be funnier (a fluffy little tail on a gert hulking beastie).

Oh why anything to divert you from stunties...

You'll be fighting me for that then.

Have I managed to generate enough interest in old broo minis that they're now going to cost me more to buy... Bugger.

Really can’t justify the expense (and more models in the lead pile) ATM… 😉

Course you can. Patience that's all you need. The one Broo I got turned up in a box of stuff I spotted in a local antiques shop. Chucked in with some toys. £50 the lot or £1 each a model (i 'kid' you not).

@Brother Meredith if I ever end up with some swapsies you guys on the Forum will get first dibs (and not for scalper prices neither).

Found him/her/it again, along with fox 🦊 pelt. Old hob is right, the tail is fluffy and a bit wee, a bit demure for this terror of the woods. Detail on these old Citadel Runequest models is excellent though, becoming my favourites after the Tom Meier elves...

I think these were all by the Perry twins. I love their pre-slotta/pre-heroic scale sculpts for Citadel.

it's great to see a properly chaotic gathering of beastmen.
