Hey Bloodhorror. I like the idea of a Beastman guard army, and I've seen other people's work, so here are some links to look at.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/289855.page

This is General Grog's log, it shows a basic Gor with Catachan army scheme for troops. It also shows how different in size the Gor body and Catachan arms are. even with an Ungor body, the catachan arms need some gap-filling. Also some pretty good ideas on Platoon officers and Commissars.

This is Whitedragon's work. He takes a different apporach, and uses mainly Catachan bits, with some Gor add-ons. He also showcases another popular idea: Ungor heads and feet on Cadian torsos&legs.

I'll try and find the third variation- that being; Gors with Cadian arms- but Warseer won't seem to work for me today.

**Bloodhorror**

Whitedragons Beastmen look nice...

I was going to go for something like that, but use JUST The Cadian Body on a Beastman Wasit, legs and feet. But i really like the Body and Legs of a Guardsman and the Feet, arms and head of a Gor.... I'm getting my stuff on thursday so i'll do a Mix and match of all three...

My Plan is for the chain of command to be shown by further Devolution.
Grunts - Slightly Bestial.
Sergents - Almost fully Bestial.
Pyskers - Completly Bestial.
Ogryns - Well there just Men that have gone SUPER Bestial

**Brotheralexos**

You may want to compare the Cadian torso to the Gor legs, they may not fit. If not, I'm sure Ungor legs and heads on Cadian torsos would work. I might know a thread or two that shows that.

Edit: Got one, its a few pages in, but the models are pretty sweet. Page 4 to be exact.

I have decided to dub these, Imperial Gor-dsmen. Cus it sounds funny.

Now i'm not sure how i get photos from the Dakka Gallery (cus Photobucket is dead or something...) to here...

But there are 6(?) new pictures in there of my 10 man Squad, along with my Overseer for my Psyker Battle Squad or Lord Commisar for lower point games and the Gordsmens Dedicated Chimera Transport.

I still have enough bits and pieces left to begin construction on my next squad of 10 Gordsmen and their Chimera. Update should be in.... a week?

Yeah lets say a week. Unless Photobucket comes back to life

Much Love, hope you have a look in my gallery ^^!

**Bloodhorror**

Minor update, i've finished my 2nd Chimera and this one has a Tank commander so it will be intended for my Pysker Battle Squad!

**Slinky**

We demand pics!

I have a really soft spot for the ancient IG beastmen models, so looking forward to seeing your take on them.

**Bloodhorror**

**Bloodhorror**

Hate painting Chimeras....

my newer one (no pics yet >.< ) has been painted Dark Angels Green and you can see every single paint stroke

**warrior lord**

nice idea

**Melcavuk**

They're shaping up really well, I had a few goes at creating a 40K army out of Beastmen myself:

You're are looking great though, would love to see your take on other units fielded by IG, in particular I always wanted to see a centaur rough rider but couldn't deal with the sheer prices of the current centaur models

**Bloodhorror**

Well your in luck ^^!

My Newest list creation uses 3 units of Rough riders

!

**Melcavuk**

Cool, I'm guessing you are fielding these as a renegade warhost (chaos but with IG codex?)

**Bloodhorror**

Yeah pretty much. Until the Chaos Renegade Codex comes out...

One day

**Melcavuk**

Renegades or Lost and the Damned, we all wait and pray.
