Brayherd Beastmen Gors | Azazel's Bitz Box.

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!

It’s been some time since I last completed any Beastmen. Too long, I’d say. So following last month’s Chaos Warhounds, I decided to get some more of the actual Beastie McBeastmen painted, and so had a root around in the twelve tubs I keep under Marounda’s computer desk for these – a sextuplet of “Rescue” models that I had purchased secondhand off somone at some indeterminate pont in the past.

These ones I had rebased, cleaned up (a bit – I found more claening that was needed), clipped off their square based and even spray primed Beasty Brown. And then left them sitting there for who-knows-how-many months until I decided to pluck them out a few days ago.

For the paint, I more-or-less followed the same scheme that I used last time I painted some models for this little force. I’m not at all fussed that the skin-fur on these is different to the last batch(es) – I actually prefer it that was as it gives a little bit of variation between the individuals once they’re all mixed together while keeping them looking overall unified.

I enjoyed the freehand on the banner, cribbing the overall iconography from the battletome, but turning the skull into the centre of a chaos star in a move that I’m almost totaly sure than nobody else has ever done in history, and then copying some runes from that Runestone that I really need to knuckle down and complete…

What’s next for the Beastmen then? Well, not more of these Gors anytime soon, I can tell you that much. Next month is Monster May-Hem (hopefully) so that might offer a suggestion as to my intent. On Gors, however – I did pick the final 11 other (unbroken) plastic “rescue models” out of my “Beastmen” box, and I intend to clean them up, rebase them and then give them a base-coat spray so that the next time I become interesed in doing some more Beastmen, almost all of the friction between inspiration and actually getting to the painting painting will be pre-taken care of…

After I paint those, I’ll be done with this kind of “quick and easy” work on rescue model beastmen and I can get back to the metals that I care about a lot more…
