So I've been itching to start a new army for Warhammer Fantasy Battles. I'm currently working on my Tyranids and someone else's High Elves. The nids are being painted in the colour scheme shown in my previous post, which is obviously quite bold. The elves are "Shadow Elves" so they are black, white and grey - not exactly a joy to paint. Beastmen give me lots of muted tones and textures that I can play with.
I was going to attempt a theme but I find that most buyers just want a nicely painted army that will work well on the tabletop rather than an exotic mix of "counts as" models. Luckily for me, I have acquired a rather battered box of Beastmen odds and ends which I will attempt to restore. I'm going to paint up a Beastlord, get him on a nice base and post the results. The very first model in an army should be a striking one, as it keeps you motivated to produce more like it. My brush has fallen apart on me sadly, so my first task is to hunt down a replacement...
