Beasts from Belgium

Music for the band

This is part of my Beastmen warband. More to come.
let me say that the models look (slightly) better in real life. The pictures make them look clean and shiny, which they aren't! I'm just glad I could get pictures of this quality done


The chieftain: Ragna Rökr







Two Bestigors with great weapons. this is also my first attempt to do some directional lighting: what do you think?




A bestigor armed with sword and mace. I didn't actually sculpt the mace because this is my favorite beastmen mini and some minis are just to good to convert
Also my second attempt at directional lighting. Beastmen can't put their treasures in the bank, neither can they trust their mates for safekeeping so they need to carry their gold/wyrdstone on them during battle in the form of bracelets and amulets



I also just noticed I forgot to paint the severed head on his belt. But I'm terrible at painting dead skin. Any pointers anybody???

three gors with two maces


two gors with sword and mace and one with Halberd




ungors with mace and dagger





more to come, hopefully with better pictures

Go purple! An excellent choice of cloth colour! Good painting as well. Keep your promise and post some more.

Indeed, the purple cloth is very nice, I like the models you have chosen!

COOL LOOKING Beasty Boys...SO clean & shiny ! Nice choice of colors & well painted...the bases suggest a Beasts about town theme. VERY WELL DONE!

Looking good, the directional lighting looks pretty good. Especially the piece on the ground.

I also really like the leader, haven't seen that model before. Who makes it?

Thanks for the nice comments!
The cloth is purple because they are worshippers of Slaanesh (and because it makes them look dandy )
After seeing all those beautifull capes and clothes on the forum and in WD i'm beginning to wonder if I should give my cloth an other highlight?

the leader is this model from Reaper. I replaced the hands by two ogre hands and added a Chaos Warhammer to the left hand, cutting off the club just above the handle and drilling a hole in it made a perfect match for fitting the warhammer inside.

I could still use some advice on painting dead skin though

Wow i know a couple of beasts in belgium but none painted this nice! Really like what you did with the reaper model fits right in well done!

I guess it would depend on how dead they were. Mostly dead or fully dead

I have done a few things in the past. You could use a light skin tone, and use blue washes to give the skin that oxygen deprived look similiar to someone who might have just drowned.

Or you could replace the normal flesh tone with a pale greenish or blue base and highlight with pale flesh tones.
