Been a while since the last update on the MordheimMMXIX Possessed. Two new members ready to join the mad rabble.
Beastmen are mutated monstrosities that infest the forests of the Empire: massive horned creatures with an inhuman resistance to pain. The destruction of Mordheim brought many Beastmen into the ruined city to prey upon the survivors. They readily ally with the Magisters of the Possessed warbands.
The concept is based on satyrs of classical lore, and on depictions of demons in medieval and renaissance art.
The conversions were based on plastic beastmen Gors. The heads come from Space Wolves, and the arms from Goblin Town goblins. One has a Gryph Hound tail. Had to strip down everything the gors were wearing, and there was a good deal of sculpting required to join the bits and add new details.
Aaaaand that's why GW don't sell Beastmen that look like they really should! So much more fitting for their background, but, yeah, not so easy to get to work on the open market.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, there's no way they could do anything like this nowadays.
DeleteGoodness, these are certainly not what GW had in mind when they developed the Beastman range.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to see the medieval artwork influence and not just when it comes to phallus's of these two.
Great job in my opinion!
Thanks Wouter!
DeleteThese guys are pretty unsettling- they take the old 'well-endowed Pan' Classical Greek and Roman images into the realm of horror. Very evocative!
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree with this comment. Wonderful and unsettling work.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteLooking more than awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBadass and unsettling in a good way. Beastmen are supposed to be horrible.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGreat job ! Using Space wolves 's heads is a really good idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI've always fancied round bellied beastmen with a heavy touch of Pan far more than the goat body builders of late, something way more plausible and menacing about them.
ReplyDeleteReally nice move here .
Thanks! :)
DeleteSo I'll be the first to mention the NIPPLES !!! Really amazing and so disturbing. I really love updates from you its all so unique and utterly amazing love it all
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah, they're being overshadowed by that more prominent bit. Thanks!
DeleteClassical art brought to life and they truly capture the horror of the children of chaos. Amazing work :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteThe twisted satyr concept is amazing, wow. I like how you envisioned the whole thing and made it into the actual minis.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHorrendous - in the best possible way!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteThese guys seem highly aroused and angry! Gloriously terrifying!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
