Last Month I painted a(nother) trio of Beastmen. These three are more of the huge pack of rescue beastmen that I still have to work through. They were cleaned up, glued to bases with sand on them and primed brown – so all of the tedious stuff done – so it was simply a matter of grabbing three of them and doing the more enjoyable stuff – something I need to do more often until I get the last of these finished.
These ones got a blonde-ish tone for their thick hair and manes. My headcanon for GW’s beastmen has them all covered entirely by short hair, like a cat, a horse or even a goat with sectrions of longer hair located here and there, as well as their manes. Most of the beastmen I’ve painted so far have either black or dark brown for their manes, so I’ll probabaly start adding in a bit more variation with each lil’ batch that I do. Once they’re all mixed in together it should give a nice natural(!) looking bit of variation rather than having these literal beasts of chaos all looking as uniform as Ultramarines!

Fantastic work mate, and your idea of changing and mixing up the long hair colours, should give the herd a really natural feel to it.

Thanks Dave – I painted these at least a month ago but now feeling like digging out another trio to see if I can knock them out fast!

Nice work on these, mate. I think the color scheme is really nice because they look evil and threatening (in addition to their dour expressions, of course)!

Thanks mate – despite the quality of the paintwork I’ve found the caucasian flesh tones of GW’s beastmen look a little bit jarring from the point that I started thinking about how Beastmen would probably actually look. 😀

Super job mate, and as is so often the case another reminder that I really must get around to my own beastmen at some stage…
