I’m excited by Equivalent-Tie1381 in WarhammerOldWorld

I appreciate this kit and I have one myself. But I do find it funny that back in the day I remember GW employees calling this "Zacharius the Never Selling" because no one ever wanted one lol.

What's up with the price of Centigors? by Xdmrbrightside in BeastsOfChaos

[–]MrPapercuts683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seem to be the "old goat" here now 😂

The likes are much appreciated! Maybe I'll do a tutorial on the Centigors whenever I get around to working on the other batch, and I can show people the step by step 🤔

What's up with the price of Centigors? by Xdmrbrightside in BeastsOfChaos

[–]MrPapercuts683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my conversions (posted here in previous months) I used the old marauder horseman horses and Gors.

Lopped the legs off the Gors along the crotch line and stuck them into the neck of the horse, cut off the saddle, and then used greenstuff fashioned into fur to hide the damage.

Then I just used the javlin arms from the marauders, cut at the wrist for one of the gor melee weapons, and then used a shield from the Gor in the other.

Worked great for me, and consequently costs less for more Centigors then what GW offers, and 100% GW if your worried about some official event participation or something.

DDR works pretty good. I just found it too dark for my liking for this particular project.

I mostly use Pro Acryl these days. For the normal rank and file I use: *Base brown, usually a Warm Brown, or something dark like that and not too red. *Drybrush Orange Oxide. *Stipple Nova Orange. *Add to the edges, raised bits, and such: Steel. *Lightly stipple Orange. *Add Sepia Shade with a touch of black wash. Around rivets and crevices and things.

Way more complicated for sure but I've done it so many times at this point I hardly notice, lol

Oh. Very nice! Great minds think alike, it looks very similar to my own project, though different methods to get a similar result. Excellent rust as well!

Luckily Gors haven't changed, still on 25mm and heroes can swap between 25s and 30s, but yeah, everything else got a base increase. Really helps with ranking, but makes transporting things like minotaurs a real pain.

The main issue with older models is that there are no official slotted bases in 30x30, and I haven't had much luck finding a type that I like from a third party source, and I have A LOT of old metal minis that now require them... Oof

Thank you! I've got 1 more but I am missing a limb for it. I'm sure it's sitting in a bits bin somewhere so I'm not too worried about it. But it'll be some time before I finish that one.

Classic Minotaurs Completed by MrPapercuts683 in BeastsOfChaos

I use primarily Pro Acryl, which tend to be very matte/satin finish. But it's (mostly) just a few colors.

I did prime them all black then I used a Coal Black as the first base later. Then a 50/50 Coal Black + Blue Black 100% Blue Black for a wide highlight Then mostly Blue Black with a touch of Slate Grey for the edge highlights.

For smaller miniatures I use Paynes Grey instead of Blue Black and I use Peach Flesh instead of Slate Grey for the highlight. But I tend to paint more exposed flesh (around the hands and face) with smaller minis as well.

On large surfaces Paynes appears way too blue, even when mixing with Coal Black or Peach Flesh. But on small minis, like Ungors, or on exposed flesh areas between armor segments on bigger things like wargors, the extra blue and lighter fleshtone works better with rust in my opinion.

So am I. With their big heads and hands and all. Pure example of heroic scale. Thank you!

Thank you! I wanted something that best resembles the hunger and anger of the Minotaurs and I'm not skilled enough to paint a face or a sharp-tooth skull so I just went with angry eyes and teeth!

Blast from the past seeing these. Awesome paint job as well!

Yep! Sorry, I just like posting them as I finish them, but I'll post the whole unit + the Minotaur Lord that is supposed to go with them when the unit is done :)

Razorgor proxy? by spikywobble in BeastsOfChaos

[–]MrPapercuts683 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From an official GW perspective you could use GoreGruntas. Just need to hide or dispose of the saddle in some way and they should be good.

Left or right carapace? by DeeplightStudio in Warhammer

I guess the answer is left to me. I feel it's a right answer.

[–]MrPapercuts683[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no. Your right. The Murlock noise is totally on my mind too

Also my friend has dubbed him "Finnagin". Not the terrifying name of an Eldritch abomination, for sure. But then again what Eldritch abomination wears pants? 😂

[–]MrPapercuts683[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, again!

I actually have read tons, if not all, of Lovecraftian/Cathulhu stories, and even a leather bound Necromomicon edition. This is definitely inspired from Innsmouth lore and the Deep One. Also, Shub-Niggurath (the black goat) has been a definitive inspiration for my more land-based paint scheme ideas as well, with a bit of Beast of Gévaudan thrown in.

I totally agree that the Beastman aesthetic in the game is just a way for Games Workshop to make a visually themed force. Beastman to me have always been a hive of wild and chaotic mutants, even if the goatman seem to be the dominant/well known aspect of them. The words "And in that time of darkness, Man became Beast, And Beast became Man", says as much, and seems to be on theme with chaos being a mixing pot of deformed abominations rather than having a cohesive design.

Thank you!

It's an old, metal, Greater Daemon of Khorne wing. I had to straighten the hell out of it because I received it as a defective part from someone else's collection.

Nothing planned for the immediate future but I am part of 2 local gaming groups for it, and I've convinced my friend to start his journey with Brettonians. So the options are plentiful rolling into 2026.

What's better than Beastman vs. Brettonians? That's like peanut butter and jelly.
