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!
Most excellent work sir!!
ReplyDeleteI think forests are a very valid place for beastmen to linger.
However whilst these are beastmen most excellent, I am minded of the Gotrek and Felix story where they encounter a band of marauding mutants in the foothills and mountain slopes.
These bases to me smell very much of foothills and craggy outcrops just on the edges of some settlement of polite and weak pink skins.
