yes, I am thinking of doing all of them actually... it's just trying to work it into the theme some how... It'll be easier I guess now with the allying rule in 6th ed I guess.

**Andeeem**

Absolutely marvellous!

That doombull just oozes of power.

**SickSix**

This army and the 40k Lizardman army someone else did need to go head to head!!!

Long Horns finally locked and loaded…

FFFFFFEEEEWWWWW……. BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**captaincheese**

Words fail me :O. This is litterly the best army of any kind ive seen in a long time it has even inspired me to take up 40k and take a break from fantasy you sir are awesome and you should feel awesome.

**wndl**

I only found this by accident via a google search and thats the BEST 40k Army I have ever seen!

I always wanted to do a simliar thing with the Beastmen, but never had the time and money to actually do it. So thanks for realizing this awesomeness.

I wanted to keep it a little cheaper, so I thought about using the Space Marine Codex with lots of Scouts (so i could use the beastmen legs) and give them a Mercenary theme without chaos, so more like the Imperial Beastmen, but as a mercenary company/clan. But the Space Wolfs and chaos fit perfectly too.

And again chapeau for doing this, your the MAN! Keep it up!

**A Kvlt Ghost**

Some very cool stuff going on here. I love your battle damage and weathering!

What's your fluff for these guys (apologies if you already said and I missed it...) they look like Tau auxillia, is that the route you're going? (if so, that's coool as hell)

**Big Boss Grimbad**

those are awesome

thats all I can say

That's amazing dude!!!!! that's exactly what I always thought they are from the start of making this army- mercenaries. great minds think alike I guess....lol

**crimsonfist832**

This army is just brilliant! God I wish I had this it just oozes pure awesomeness! Perfect conversions, models that are so epic words just can't describe... as for your Morghur conversion, just top-notch mate, top-notch! Count me subbed, can't wait for some more.

Fluff-wise to this army, I think it can be summed up by this poster-

Awesome poster!

A little fluff goes a long way in pulling an army together

I've always liked the concept of a mercenary army, but could never figure out how to get the "mismatched" feel of merc without using WHFB stuff.

Keep up the great work!

**nolzur**

This is one of the coolest things that I have ever seen.

**prototype_X**

This is one of the most amazing things I have seen! I'm loving it. Keep it up, you've got us all wanting more!

**weetyskemian44**

Love the metal beasts. A great idea and well painted. So many horns.

**Brother Heinrich**

Awesome job, and kudos on the commitment to your project!

**mayajid**

Need for speed?

For one of my army list I needed 2 land speeders. I sort of want to keep them in the theme of “chariot like” vehicle because of the beastmen army base. So, thinking about one or two thing pulling something else- the first thing that comes to mind for me is star wars episode one pod racer. I also lie the Tsmeu-6 personal wheel bike that General grievous pimps around in, in episode 3, so I decided to combine the two designs.

I found this remote control car for 200 baht (4-ish pounds or 6-ish us dollars) in the street so I got it and ripped off the wheels.

Then started to kit bash….

Zoom Zoom!!!!!

ZZZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

**Bruticus**

Well this is still all very cool. I'm always looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. I still like the idea of a few more giant beasts though.

**HF Izanagi**

Sweet lord... this is one of those projects I come across every so often that makes me wish I actually came up with it.

The paint scheme is gorgeous, the mini conversions are just... holy hell... I absolutely LOVE this army.

Those monobikes are great! I've been working on an ork monobike unit, but mine are layers of polystyrene. It's slow going, but your's look great and a bit easier to make. They look awesome!

**butchyboy73**

I don't know what to say; I'm speechless. Those monowheel models are amazing!! You really are a very talented, gifted person. I really envy you

**Kavish**

Sweet monowheel podracer things! They were/are on the GW website in "what's new today" (in the little pictures you can blow up to the right).

**Young_Logan**

Such an amazing army, must have cost an arm and a leg but it was so worth it. The concept is just so cool

Looking forward to seeing more

I am usually not a big fan of beastman/(Chaos)Marine hybrids...

...but this army is simply fantastic! You've hit it right out of the park with this one! Spectacular!

What really takes the cake though is that Doombull. That has to be one of the most fantastic conversions using a jugger head I have ever seen

Keep up the fantastic work! Subscribed
