My bestigors for my (very slowly) growing 500 point warband.


Everyone together.


The basic RaF bestigor with great axe.


The 2nd rank with great axes and a dire mace.


Front rank bestigor with huge warhammer.


The unit leader.



The unit musician.

I need to fix a couple of details but I think they're ready to paint. Now I just have to wait for a break in the rainy season so I can prime without making them fuzzy.

wow! so cool! i want one ^^. i never thought about doing them that way when i was thinking about doing beastmen. very jealous of your skills great job

I agree, those look friggin cool! Nice work

nice- i like them. are you doing similar with ungors?

did you make all their weapons with plasticard?

DAMN YOU SIR.

I suck with that stuff.

Yep, I'd call this project a success.

Great stuff I'm considering doing something similiar myself. How'd you make the musician's horn and where'd the champions flagon come from?

Nice looking.

Thanks guys!

Llamahead - The horn is just two regular horns filed down and glued together at their narrow ends, then pinned back to the musician's arm. I just wrapped it in green stuff to hide the join. The amphorae are made out of two sections of plastic rod (3mm glued into a 5mm) and then filed in a kind of rolling gesture to smooth out. Once I had the jug body, I drilled a hole through the top and ran a bit of wire through it to make the basic handle shape, and then used green stuff (the brand I use is actually white) to fill out the handle.

xcom85 - Yes, all the weapons (except for the dire mace) are plasticard. The axes ended up being the easiest part of the project. They're pretty much just a rod handle with a plasticard blade and two 1mm rod bolts where they join.

dirkthe1 - You can see my finished ungors on my gallery page. They're pretty bog standard. I want to create the idea that the elite elements of the army are part of something like a Bacchus cult and the other guys in the army are just being dragged along for the ride. If I increase the size from warband to army though I may add a couple of amphorae to the gor and ungor unit(s).

Cheers thanks a lot I may well try the horn idea! The basic conversion is a warrior of chaos torso with plastic gor legs I take it?

The final result looks great, it fits very good, but isn't it a bit expensive? 2 plastic kits to make 1 mini

Llamahead - Exactly. By far the most time-consuming part of the conversion was filing the Chaos warrior torso and Gor legs down to play nicely together.

Erasoketa - Thanks! It's a bit more expensive, but considering that the metal bestigors are SMALLER than the plastic gors, I thought something had to be done. I'd seen the conversion on here a few times and always thought it looked nice, and since I'm not going for a big army I figured I'd try it.
