Sorry for a bit of a scrappy vid here, not sure the best way to handle this blog format yet.

"Mostly just squishing the sausage in and rubbing it out with my rubber tool" That is definitely what she said.

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

Damn, that undercoat looks great. That's a super pretty colour.

[@ScruffyCrow]

Yeah I'm a fan of colour Forge so far. Lured me away from Halfords

Nice haul of old models. An alternative to using the 3d printed Bestigors would be to simulate the missing 4 with a Unit Filler. Maybe employ some kind of Chaos Spawn, chained and led by another Beastman model.

[@ScruffyCrow]

That's a cool idea, I do have a unit filler ready to go, a warshrine.

Old school: Mix scab red and Snakebite leather as a base colour. Wash with bestial brown (I think that was the name) and then dry bursh with bestial brown and snakebite leather mixed together as a highlight. Created a really nice reddish brown on my wargs circa 2006.

Sounds good, just need to get my hands on some 20year old paints ;)

[@Tim1000064]

Really excited to see these progress :D

[@stompie51]

What a fantastic collection

[@ScruffyCrow]

Thanks

[@allhailthelegs]

Love the project. New sub here and enjoying your steady approach to the hobby. Keenly awaiting more halfling content too

[@ScruffyCrow]

I think Ive pretty much exhausted halfling models but a small town might be on that cards for some point

[@allhailthelegs]

@@ScruffyCrow awesome!

Cool stuff, makes me want to collect some metal, though prices and GWs use of old miniatures for TOW makes me wanna wait until i know whats going to be put back into production or MTO before i pull any triggers. Don't want to be stuck with a overpriced package from of miniatures from Ebay that you could buy from GW for (maybe) a better price.

[@ScruffyCrow]

I hear you but all those models have been replaced in plastic now, I doubt they will go back to these but you never know.

[@SiestaOdyssey]

Good stuff

[@jamiecrosby5395]

Hi James are these mainly old Citadel figures? Absolutely love these metal bestigors.

[@ScruffyCrow]

Everything in the army so far is Citadel and all appear in the 2000 catalogue.

[@johnshank5136]

Shipping like that makes me doubt the wisdom of spending money on this stuff. Games Workshop will put many of these models back into production.

[@ScruffyCrow]

They might but I think it's unlikely for the troops as they have direct replacements in plastic.
