AHPC 14: Beastman Characters

The Old World returns imminently so I'm clearing out the unfinished vestiges of my Beastman Army - it just wouldn't feel like AHPC without me doing some Beastmen! Just 19 models remain from >200 I started with a few years ago. These are the last 2 characters which we have painted together in the Dark Forest, under the pale moon while mumbling hateful chants...

Paul's offering to the sacred heardstone is this Beastlord with Great Axe. He is known for his compassionate spirit, high emotional intelligence and tending his rose garden with ample bone and blood offerings. He's an older model cast in metal, and boy does it have good heft!

To accompany this gentle yet frenzied monstrosity, Reilly has delivered unto me a fearsome Wargor with Battle Standard. He promised to paint this 3 years ago, but all good things to those who wait patiently, in ambush, biding their time.... - and this was clearly worth waiting for! Plus I guilted him into it like a good Dad :-)

The hand painted Chaos symbol and sigils shows he really cares and takes pride in his Banner bearer role. 

An amusing Dad&Lad painting moment was Reilly posing the question:

"So the Elf head atop the Banner - do you want it to be a High Elf, Wood Elf or Dark Elf head? Your Beastmen have slaughtered and defeated all 3 in Battle". Cleary the Dark Gods must be rewarding me for my efforts! (You Elf Commanders know who you are...)

The lovely banner is made from the flayed skins of defeated enemies, available via Amazon
