So im thinking!
but im really not sure what themes beastmen have, so what ones do they have?

Mine are snowy:

Normal beasts skin color
White fur
Marauder cloaks painted to be patchworked
White bases

The cloaks are patchworked because they saw humans skin beasts for their fur to keep warm, and thought that it was a good idea, though they use human scalps instead of their skin...

You could go god specific if you wanted to (don't have beasts book so I dont know if their units can be Chaos god specific).

You could go with blue skin (grey fur) on snow bases if you don't want to do normal beast flesh.

Beastmen lost the ability to have the mark of XXXX in this edition...

However, you could still theme your army around a certain god!

HMMM that would be quite cool, both ideas! but thats all paint wise, what about army organisation? like specific units?
like a full monster mash or something? lol!
i really dont know but i love theme and i know in the hordes of beasts, `there must be a theme for me!!!

Go look in the codex...its really easy to think up a theme.

All minotaur, Centigor Heavy, Gor Heavy, Ungor Heavy, Chariot Army, Monster Heavy, Bestigor Heavy...and maybe some more. Beastmen is possibly THE most customizable army theme wise (possibly, note)

i dont have the codex yet, thats why i ask about themes because i like to know what im getting into before i buy!

Always a good idea is to look through the special characters and theme the army around one of those, e.g. there is the character that supposedly mutates things in his presence, so make all your models twisted and mutated and lots of chaos spawn.

or something along those lines... or think of something and run with it!

Get the codex, I just gave you a bunch of themes...did you ignore them?

Beastmen are great for the sheer mix of forces it lets you field as mentioned above theme-wise. You can always model your forces hailing from far flung forests of the old world. like drakwald. I always thought a cool conversion would be a beast lord in scavenged and defaced Bretonnian knight plate. You could green-stuff ungor hunters to look like devolved longbowmen and mix in the odd men at arms weapon in your gors unit. Or some defaced shields. Maybe bestigors made to look like theyre wearing scavenged knight plate also.

Beastmen Theme 1: Killer Bunnies!

Beastmen Theme 2: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

Beastmen Theme 3: For Narnia!

Karon-For God Sakes! Stop Winging! yes i did pay attention to your themes, but obviously im not so stupid to go with one persons ideas i like to ask about so stop being arsey and CALM DOWN its only a forum about a GAME!


Lex- I like that idea, i had a similar idea about an empire paradox, you know like theyve mutated into beastmen, like the good old days! lol, does anyone else agree that Lex and my idea would work?
it would look preatty awsome!

would the Mutated thing be viable?

Empire also could work. Imagine a giant with a cannon as his club . Degenerate free company that got lost in the wilderness from a vanquished army could also be fun. Or beastmen having looted an overrun empire army camp. Best of luck if you go with it.

Khazrak One-Eye Ambushing force, Minotaur Bash, and All-Chariot are a couple on the top of my mind.

Yea Barlio they are kinda cool, ill look at all the Characters before i start it 1st!

Lex-have you got any other ideas on the theme of the looted/mutated empire-beasts?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
What out of the two would be the best idea? the degenerated or the looters? because would i be able to include giants? or other rable by doing the whole mutated army? what would be the restrictions on the two themes?>

Thats great about beastmen. you can really go wild with your imagination. Why not mix and match those ideas? Nothing to stop you fielding a mix of normal gors and empire men that have degenerated into beastmen. Since beastmen are all mutants anyway. You could have greatswords mutated into bestigors I guess. And any chariots could have bits of defaced empire armour and bodies nailed to them. These guys use pretty much whatever comes to hand and make it their own like orcs do. They arent fussy where they get materials from.

Fair that sounds good, ill give it a bash! if im going for the mutated thing i wouldnt have any Giants though would i?

Nothing stopping you from including one. Some of the giant set parts can make it look quite like a beastman. Horned head, hooves. You could also greentstuff some fur on for extra effect.

Oh and best of luck. I'm toying with the idea of making myself a Ghorgon with the new daemon prince model out next month myself.

i would but hed be too small! needs to e giant sized...

But at least he isnt spindly like the giant. Always felt that the giant was a little to thin to reflect a Ghorgon. Yeah Ill likely have to bulk up the torso a bit to get the height. Maybe even have him standing on a rock to get the height more. Thinking about putting the old doombull minotaur head on it. Will see how it goes!

Well i guess yes, you could just bulk the legs and arms up on the giant, that might would work

Got that from the maxmini thread on here.
Maybe its of some use?
And if its anything like thier usual products, it will be cheap and great quality.

thats pretty cool, what scale is that?

Looks amazing. I couldn't find this thread. And their website doesn't have it listed. Where can I get one?

ME too! lol its awsome!

Yo, check it...

Beastman tribe residing in one of the larger forests in Brettonia stumbles upon a wine merchants unusually large caravan, carrying every drop from the last 4 seasons to stock the kings cellars. The beasts who're always up for a good bit of pillaging trash the caravan and in turn get utterly trashed drinking more wine than they can conceive drunkenly marching off to glory!

For modeling and painting go with a medium tan for the skin tones and a dark brown for the furs, centigors, centigors everywhere!, various minitures in the army modeled with drinking horns, small casks, flagons etc. Unit fillers with drunken beatmen leaning against each other looking like they're singing a bawdy drinking song.

Ghostfacekilla- that sounds awsome! and very fun, however, i today decided on what i should do, im doing an ungor list "themed" by ungrol, very mutany-
beastlord
bray shaman
wargor BSB
50 ungors
50ungors
10 harpies
10 raiders
jabberslythe
giant

with wargear, 2000 points

That mini is from maxmini.

Not too sure on height just yet, but i think its going to be big (between thirster and giant sized)

The model is waiting on being cast from what im aware of.
Should be out soon though since its been going for a while.
