I've liked the idea of beastmen for a while. They are the quintessential enemy to many in the Old World of Warhammer, this pure chaotic force that does not conquer for gain, but to despoil. I've read about them in various warhammer stories, and always wanted to know more.

When the Start Collecting box came out (along with the Beasts of Chaos battletome), I figured, what the hell. It took a while to pick up the box and book, even longer to get round to building the figures, but now I have the box built, undercoated, and ready to go.

The Beastmen gathered on the outsider. Braying, they beat him down, for he was different. He was no longer 'light grey'.

The one thing I find amusing, is a few of these Ungor raiders, I've given them a single arrow and a bow. I have this image of them being given an arrow, and told they have to re-use it. Other than that, they'll have to beat them with their bows.

The outsider's last moments.

This was the test model, done to test what colours I want to use. They seem ok... but the shadows are too dark to my eyes. The paints are the standard flesh tones, Bugman's Glow - Agrax Earthshade - Bugman's Glow - Cadian Fleshtone - Kislev Flesh. The time spent layering Bugman's back over the agrax could have been saved, if I skip the wash and go straight into the layer. I'm trying this now, and will see how it goes.

Other than that, the rest of it is standard. Skaven-dinge Blight - Nuln Oil - Tyrant's Skull for the fur (basic drybrush), the arrow and bow are Dryad Bark (same colour as my Dryads, so that it looks like they cut bows from the screaming dryads).

For the other models, there'll be a bit more variety. For Ungors, that won't last long (either they die or get sacrificed... and die), they can all be the same.
