Hm. Actually, if you take out the horns, the head that remains is kind of ratlike. Indeed, without the horns you have what looks very much like a varghulf. A stag head would have been more interesting visually and given the model more presence.

**Dysartes**

Well, this has been finished since the Open Day back in April, so I'm a little surprised people are responding as much now - I'm sure there were some pics which went up following the event showing it, though admittedly they won't have been as clear as these.

Not overly keen on the paint scheme, I must admit.

It's antlers, not horns.

A sneak peek at some concept art from newsletter #30:

**Grimstonefire**

I love this line in their description.

While their appearance is truly vile

Always a good thing to include if the model isn't great.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

I wouldn't buy one, so whatever they where aiming for missed its mark with me.

I've actually been waiting for this model since its preview and have been holding off of my order of Basilisk, Warpfire Dragon and Ettin to get all 4 in one shot. I'm a Beastmen player and this monstrosity is their handiwork in the lore, so being the completionist that I am, its getting put in my army.

I've already got a paint job in mind for it!

You need your own survivor stories thread for these, just add the "run away" picture from each newsletter to the individual stories.

**Scottywan82**

And the little man is officially "Keith Chegwyn"

Well done, MGS.

His name is Keith, He shall never die!!!

thanks from all of us Keiths

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

Sculpt decent, paintjob underwhelming.

**Rayvon**

I really like the sculpt, it fits the fluff perfectly, not sure on that paintjob though, the grey unpainted blank shows more detail.

Bravo good sir!

**HiveFleet**

I love the homage to The Walking Dead there MGS....well done!

/golf clap

**Saldiven**

Hrm.

IMO, the miniature isn't that terrible, but it absolutely isn't worth FW prices.

/golf clap

According to the urban dictionary, '/golf clap' is a sarcastic clap.

Also, what homage to the walking dead?

**RiTides**

I think it can also be just a sort of funny clap, MGS. The way I've seen it used, it's not always sarcastic (and I don't think he was using it so there). Just figured I'd mention that

**sennacherib**

This is a particularly lack luster creation. Though i do not play WFB, if i did, i would not buy this.

Sorry, i was meaning "polite applause" so i may have misquoted!

I figured you were referring to The Walking Dead, with Keith shooting the farmer dad so he could escape ....ala Shane in TWD shooting the fat guy

All kewl, I'm not hip to the yoof speak these days and been told 'golf clap' now means good clap (and noone likes a dose of the bad clap).

I don't watch walking dead, wife does though. I tried to but I keep willing the entire cast to die, especially the selfish and staggeringly idiot wife of the hero.

Mr K Chegwyn just has a habit of running faster than the other guy... possibly by some subconscious ensuring that happens...

I wrote one tale and a few folks seemed pleased with it, hence this one.

and I still like that model, I think too many folks are looking for it to be a deer with wings, which would have been dull. It's a hell of a lot better sculpted than the wood elf 'moose' or whatever that is.

Just looks like something I'd skin, gut and stew.
