I like this fellow cos he's all out of whack. Quite unlike my previously posted one, he's fuzzy all over and Bovine, rather than the typical Goat. One eye'd and only one hoof'd he strikes quite the "chaos-y" vibe. I wanted to give him some sort of pilfered-from-a-corpse look so painted his trousers up in the old colours of the olde Empire province of Ostermark. Seemed fitting that the same province that Mordheim was in should provide his attempt at a uniform of sorts.

Hope all are well and staying that way - Dai
Great looking beastman Dai, as I recall it was listed as a minotaur headed beastmen, and they did a couple of other ones with different animal heads similar to the ones in Runequest back in the day. look forward to seeing your objective markers
ReplyDeleteGood to know Dave - thanks! There's more beastmen too to come also.
DeletePretty terrifying (by which I mean great). I enjoy it when beastmen are not just goats, makes them seem more chaosy, and fit better with the fluff too.
ReplyDeleteChaos faces on shields are very of the period, but are harder to do than it looks. I think yours is pretty good!
Totally mate. Chaos beasts aren't supposed to look the same, seems the opposite of the ideal of "chaos".
DeleteAppreciate the kind words. :)
Nice shield and a great non goat looking beastman!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain! Hope to get another up sometime soon.
DeleteShort,sweet post and fine-looking beastman!
ReplyDeleteBetter short and sweet than leaving it all for another mammoth post that might be a month down the line.
DeleteThanks Jon.
Fairly gruesome sight to behold. In a good way if there is such a way. I especially like his pants. 😀
ReplyDeleteThank you sir! I felt the colours were fun, it’s chaos afterall
DeleteGreat work! Love the shield too!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it mate!
DeleteSo good! What a great miniature Dai, love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael am glad he gets your approval.
DeleteVery nice painting Dai, it brings back happy memories playing warhammer with my kids. Cheers Greg
ReplyDeleteHi Greg, thanks for stopping by!
DeleteAppreciate the kind words. Glad you got to remember good times. :)
Fantastic painting! I like the weathering on the axe!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, glad you dig him.
DeleteHi Dai, not seen you around on the blogs recently and just wanted to check you are safe and well ?
ReplyDeleteHi Dave, no idea why I only now saw your comment (it was sitting waiting for approval for some reason?)?
DeleteAll is well thanks! Just a lot going on in real life and none of it “hobby”!
But I’m working on stuff now. Hope to have something to post soon and also to visit your own blog:)
