More March Muties

 Despite being insanely busy at the mo', I still managed to hit my goal of finishing off a few more Oldhammer Citadel beastmen before the end of the month.

Age before beauty and all that: I've finally got around to basing the Fiend Factory FF68 Goat-headed Ogre (1982).

The next two are from the C27 Chaos Beastmen range sculpted by Trish Carden back in 1985. I was particularly pleased to pick up 'Kiss of Death' late last year and hope I've done him justice.

While there are a load of ram-headed beastmen out there, 'Axe Wielder' is probably the first lamb-man I've come across.

Finally, this is 'Merd', a CH4 Chaos Beastman from 1987. 

He needed a shield so I raided the bitzbox and grabbed him an uruk shield from Ragnarok Miniatures. 

All-in-all, I don't think March has been too shabby for painting beast-people. 

Hopefully more soon.

March Muties

Kicking off March with a batch of Oldhammer broo and beastmen.

I also daubed a few of their buddies in fits and starts over the winter.

From left to right we have: 

CH4 'Braksh'(1987), blister pack RuneQuest Broo (1983), Box 4 (v2) 'Broo' - these are the ones with the swappable heads (1983), Box 3 (v2) 'Attack of the Broo' (1983), Box 4 (v2) 'Broo' (1983), C27 'Cloven Hoof'' (1985), Box 4a 'The Broo!' (1983), blister pack Broo (1983). Phew!

One reason Citadel were able to pump out so many broo in a relatively short time was the canny reuse of body sculpts with new heads (and in some cases reused heads with new bodies). This particular body was used again (with modifications) for Cloven Hoof from the C27 Chaos Beastmen range. 

That takes me up to 20 refurbished '80s broo/beastmen. I couldn't resist taking a progress photo of the herd so far.

Having ranked them up, one thing that occurred to me was the basing looked a little off. I think the mossy tufts looked OK individually, but I'm not sure I like it en masse. I think I'm going to pause basing anymore beastpeople until I've investigated some alternatives. Which means this poor chap will have to wait a while longer. He's a Fiend Factory FF68 Goat-headed Ogre (1982). He may well be the OG beast-guy!

There's plenty more odd-bods in the painting queue (I've got another 20-or-so reeking of Dettol and ready to go). If I can colour in another 4-5 this month I will be well chuffed.

Cheers
