There heading towards chaos more and more every day! Although ive still left them non iconic, and theyll probably stay that way.

Latest update, couldnt help but try n finish another one, SM arm added, SM hand removed and attached to beastman arm, Gun . . . Done! and horns stuck to head using a lil green's to cover head joint and replicate hair (its a cheap shot i know! but works none the less!) heres latest pic. . .

Reminds me of a mad buffalow!

Hahaha, the thumbnails exploding into the larger jpgs are perfect, thanks. that second mock up rocks just as much as the first. really digging the backpack conversion. what is that on the right side replacing the vent? it looks like a watch dial or something. either way, it works. also, i like the varied amounts of armor you're using on these guys, really drives home the feral look. keep it up.

fluff wise, tis a terrible idea, unless they are chaos. but i love what you have done with the test and whole army of them would look brill. got a bigger pic?

Not necessarily......you could use them in an imperial guard army. They do use beastmen in some of their ranks:

and as for minotaur termies. They did have minotaurs with guns for horns:

Thanks fellas,

'GT' Thing on the back pack is a spacer for pc boards, just a funky lil grommet, but i think looks good!

'Skel' Know i gotta do termies, just cant get my head round how i can work it, leg shape of a beastman is completely different to marine, Still . . . i ponder, and after the scouts it will be done!!!! 'Probably!!!'

Next progress pic coming up, and heres where i could use a lil help 'Painting' Id class my self as a competent painter, but by far from good!

Are more highlights needed! Should i darken the skin then highlight! does the furr need another highlight to make it pop!

This guy is No 6, Painting tips would be greatly appreciated, not on this model, but im gonna do a captain/librarian and would realy like a bang on paint job (to score me like an 8, never got above mid 7's)

Had to take a break from the tactical squad (Have done 5 already, and working on No6), was starting to loose it, found a lil inspiration n started on the scouts, will be 6 all together, 5 for the army and one im gonna paint just for the hell of it (but not green, as im startin to tire)

Think im gonna go with black n work on my highlighting technique,

Heres where im at sofar with him, SM shoulder pads and shin guard thing!!! SM scout rifle,scope,hands and goggles, the rest is all beastman!

Cant wait to get painting this one! Needed some inthusiasm after all those green tac's!

Hope u like!

Looking good. Since you asked, I will say that the second beastie (the one with the converted pack) could use some battle damage. That canister on the backpack is just screaming for some sponged-on battle damage goodness, IMHO. Keep up the good work (and the blistering pace, too :p).
