My gors are painted black, with a very watered down scorched brown, then some muscle highlights in scorched/bestial mix, until the final layer is just bestial.

I like yours too crimson. Ll except those pink loin clothes. YOu would think they would have.... soiled them by now.

I finally got around to looking through this thread

Nice models all around!

@Phillyt - Very nice army

Not much more to add, awesome paint job, I love the multi-arm giant, and the basing looks nice too

@Crimsonsphinx - As Phillyt said, I like the models too. The creepy thing is they are slaaneshy minotaurs....

Just had some ebay achievements.
9 gors and 18 ungors for £6.10, plus £2 for P&P.
i also have an auction for a chariot and 10 warhounds which I am currently watching.

I also orderered the army book, a chariot and a shaman from a site with 30% discount.

The herd is starting to be assembled!

Nice snags, keep it coming and welcome to the club!

Finlay · « **Reply #180 on:** March 12, 2008, 11:06:15 PM »

yeh, fairly pleased. I was willing to go up to £8 for either beastherd, so got it for half that, including P and P.

I am going home on Saturday so can do some painting, and I might post my first peasantlike attempts on here, should have a few painted by sunday evening.

I don't know there is something disturbingly erotic about minotaurs

You know with the horns and all.

My beastmen worship slaanesh. They all own several pink loin cloths and go into battle in freshly washed ones. If your going to die, you might as well do it looking your best!

Finlay · « **Reply #182 on:** March 12, 2008, 11:20:55 PM »

do you mean phallic?

or actually erotic...

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #183 on:** March 12, 2008, 11:30:26 PM »

Take your pick. Im open to suggestions Notts

Im slaanesh through and through, the whole point is that it is disturbing and immoral and that you should embrace it.

They are kind of the basics.

Finlay · « **Reply #184 on:** March 12, 2008, 11:33:52 PM »

I'm all into erotic and disturbing, if its a witch elf (or my girlfriend

)

On the other hand, I dont really fancy death from anal trauma following an encounter with an "erotic" minotaur.

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #185 on:** March 12, 2008, 11:52:30 PM »

LOL Notts,

Thats half the fun of slaanesh. Down and dirty like animals, or in some cases with animals.

Personally I would find a witch elf somewhat more disturbing. They follow Khaine which is like khorne. Not particually sensual those khorne worshippers.

You have been quoted! Well kind of. Liberally interpretted might be better.

Finlay · « **Reply #186 on:** March 12, 2008, 11:57:42 PM »

hey!

you took out the "dont"

thats the most important word of my sentence!!

Both.

ack ack and thrice ack!

I could not get on this morning, it was... painful. But I can now, woo!

Anyways... this thread has gone worryingly chaotic eh?

I like the way you've painted your furry manbeasts (so to speak) Philly. It's almost... more humanish... but in a disturbing way.

How can we see Crimson's? Are they up somewhere? Where? I want to see his raging bulls!

My gors and whatnot are crimson gore drybrushed with oranges.

My ogre fellow is crimson gore drybrushed with a red I use for my hochland army (mixed blood red and dark flesh) then highlighted with the blazing orange again and I think one of the light browns to get that slightly diffo look.

Looking at him though, I am not pleased with his staticness, it doesn't fit with the rest of the dynamic beasts units (bar of course stand still and look ugly minos) so I am gonna attempt my most ambitious converting to date to get the rest of the unit looking a bit more...

Wish me and my green stuff luck...

(oh and good ebaying notts

, my recent attempts have been somewhat less fruitful

)

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #189 on:** March 13, 2008, 09:30:02 AM »

My minotaurs are on page 3. You know thats disturbing enough saying that!

I had a picture of my gors up on philly's chaos thread in the painting area, but I guess I can repost it on this thread. You will have to excuse the poor photography skills.

Siberius · « **Reply #190 on:** March 13, 2008, 10:17:10 AM »

That's right, I remember your minos now

That paint scheme on the gors is tasty

And minotaurs on page 3... now I have a reason to buy the Sun...

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #191 on:** March 13, 2008, 11:19:42 AM »

Just had a look on GW online store page, it appears you can buy blister packs of ungors with spears.

So you can bulk them up, and it works out cheaper than buying lots of beast herds.

phillyt · « **Reply #192 on:** March 13, 2008, 11:25:08 AM »

They are significantly smaller than the plastics though. But in the grand scheme of things thats still okay.

On the otherhand, you can use extra gor for bestigor with some conversion work.

Phil

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #193 on:** March 13, 2008, 12:02:33 PM »

Ive got 30 bestigor, not even undercoated. Ive had them one and a half years.

Not much incentive to convert plastic gors

I have more than enough gor with 24 considering I don't play as beasts. Hopefully I can still use my beastmen in my hordes list once it has been revised. I like my 4th edition style list.

Finlay · « **Reply #194 on:** March 13, 2008, 06:38:00 PM »

gah, the person hasnt got back to me with P and P details. I want to pay for them know so I have them on monday. I guess i wont though, and will have to pop into town to pick up a beastherd.

phillyt · « **Reply #195 on:** March 14, 2008, 12:49:09 AM »

You most likely won't get your models by Monday. It takes about a week or so to get them with payment, shipping exchange, mailing, etc.

Phil

Siberius · « **Reply #196 on:** March 14, 2008, 02:12:36 AM »

Talking of which, mine came in today.

I'm feeling a little furry stiring inside

Thats what Douchie is going to be feeling if he doesn't get back on the forum and finish his story!

yeh, I just had hopes that they would, If I had paid straight away... never mind.

I went to bed at 5 last night, (second last night of term at uni, went out. ended up throwing an american football around in the parking lot of a grocery store at 3.30 am), but managed to wake up now and win a chariot for £7.50.

I probably should stop buying things now, as I dont like to give myself too many models to paint up at any one time.

right, back to bed.
