Spent some time over the holidays getting my mom into painting. She's always loved Warhammer and 40k minis. Shes always been pretty artistic. So here are the 4 beastmen gors I let her paint. I'm going to give her 6 more to finish off a squad. She said she painted the fur grey and white because she wanted them to be wise, but I see them more as a desert/african sort of beasttribe thats throws white paint all over themselves before battle. So we called them the Mombos. LOL HAhA Enjoy and please comment as freely as you liike. Thanks.

P.S She wasnt the only one painting, lol. I finished 2 Catachan heavy weapons teams which i will post later once we take some pics of them.

* Clicking on the pictures gives you a bigger picture. *

They look good. Only 2 things I will say is they need basing, and some freehand on the banner would be cool; certainly the models themselves look good enough that I am confident your mum can do something that looks cool there

I would be very happy to see these in a game

Yes thanks, those are two things she agrees on as well. She attempted the banner with some freehand but its not nearly as easy as it looks. Ended up having to repaint the banner. She says she is looking forward to taking another stab at it though. I currently got he painting one of my IG Sentinels now.

I wish I could get my wife to paint my models

good sir i would like to point out you mum is freaking awesome! these minis deserve an exalt all to themselves!

Ah we just got them based. Threw some flok grass on there plus I added a giant twig to one guys base and a stone to the other. Probably wont repost the pics but you can prolly imagine what it looks like. The stone is white. LOL

Oh and thanks for the comments. They mean alot when you put so much work into your project.

These look great, you should update the pics on this thread with a new refresh post. Would love to see the finished job.

Wow man These rock!

If the Beast-men pics from GW looked like this I would have been more inclined to buy them.

this is the first time I seen Beastmen look awesome!

Keep up the great work!!!

Agreed. Other than that, they look good, I love the fur.

I would be stoked if my GF liked WH40K

I would probably gak my pants if my mother did

+1 here. That and when she refers to all wargaming as warhammer.....

'Are you playing with your Warhammers dear'

Really love the look on those dudes. Maybe convert up some yetis for her to paint as stand-in Minotaurs?

haha and +1 to that too. Everything small is "warhammers"

Your moms a MILTPW.

HAHAHHA Great comments guy. Once again thank you very much! My mom knows the link for this thread so I'm sure she's read them all! LOL !!!!

BEARJRCA - Thank you ever so much for the kind words. My mother was really taken aback by what you had to say. She is happy you liked them, especially since you are the probably the only one on here who will see them in real life

Mr.Merlin - That sucks :( Does your mom have an artsy side at all? Is there anyway to show her the 'light' so to speak about how awesome and fun painting and doing scenery is?

Lord Marcus - LOL

Captain Roderick - That is a great idea actually. I bet she could make turn them into something fierce and beastmen like (even though they kind of already are). I always liked the Yetis as well. She actually asked for the Elf Dragon Imrik Dragonlord for her birthday from me, so she can paint it up. The picture of Imrik in the 2010 Catalogue is amazing.

Tortured-Robot - Hahahah YOU SICK F*** Hahah jk that is actually very clever!

Really well done!

QFT.

But your mom needs to base her minis before they can go in Showcase. Moving to P&M blogs.

They look awesome! Now all you gotta do is talk her into buying her own army!
