A unit of beastmen Gors all ranked up for battle, plus a few hangers-on extra models. It also contains a musician and a standard-bearer, but no leader as I usually attach a character to be at their head.

#beastmen #TheOldWorld completed my second big Gor unit for my army. Grinded these lads out, and have thoroughly sickened myself via batch painting. But no matter: they are done! 😀

Same, the heavy bolter was what I had her with as it seemed ‘right’ but I couldn’t upgrade the damage any way. Switched her to a flamer, which still seems pretty suitable for a Sororitas. Massive improvement!

Think I’ve cracked it! Turns out Meltas and Flamers are the answer. 🙂

Yeah I think some of mine have their original weapons, or near it! Might have to search some online guides. 👍

I went officer too I think, but just upgraded everybody as the mood struck and don’t think I’ve done it too efficiently. Plus I reckon I’ve not upgraded weapons for ages, and need to get some heavy firepower!

I’ve been playing it recently too, for the first time! Great fun. I may have messed up though as everybody else seems to be suddenly super-powerful and I’ve fallen behind. Not doing anywhere near enough damage! ☹️

Beastmen Gors teeming around a Herdstone with oncoming ogres trying to take it. They’ll succeed for a while, but thankfully I’d regained it be game’s end.

The thick of the battle! Gors died fast but my beastlord general did okay by duelling the ogre general and inflicting a wound on him.

Beastlord Gorthak kills the giant, earning himself the name Giant-Killer.  Others helped, but he got the killing blow. I’ll of course never be passing up the chance to have him brag about it.

Fought a game of #TheOldWorld recently against ogre mercenaries. Was a defeat but my #Beastmen got their share of moments. Chief among them: my Beastlord general took down an enemy giant!

Ten Gor all based up. The unit should all be twin hand-weapons but I’ve not got the right models handy. Still, they’ll do for now as my little ambushing party who pop up at the back. 🙂🐐

#TheOldWorld new unit of #Beastmen completed. Ten Gors for ambushing, and also featuring a diseased-looking standard for when they use the Totem of Rust artefact.

Got my baggage train sorted for the beastmen brayherds army: a nicely ramshackle cage to imprison my luckless victims, for handy post-battle snacking. #Warhammer #Beastmen #TheOldWorld

#Warhammer #Beastmen #TheOldWorld getting the chance to finally return to 3D printing, and I’ve run off two Razorgor piggies to cause mayhem. (Once their bases arrive, at any rate.)

Only one wound. They’re T4, which is good, but they have no armour beyond shields. They do a lot of damage but also die rapidly!

Very kind of you. Hopefully they will soon be doing what they do best: killing a few rivals, and getting themselves killed in droves to do it!

It’s weird, but they really do, don’t they? Would never have guessed. 🙂

Finished up and based a full regiment of #Beastmen Gors for #Warhammer #TheOldWorld. Think I’ve also personally improved my basing ability.

Ah, I’d missed that. Still all very cool to see - always good to get a bit of medieval chat on Bluesky!

I thought this too! Like, with all the bolts still in place, wouldn’t there have been a skull pinned inside it all, when they found it?

Pair of Forgefiends in World Eaters colours. Lots of red and brass trim, plus a nice (oddly soothing) green glow from the coils of the ectoplasmic cannons. Rather inappropriate, if you think about it…

Completed pair of Forgefiends! I enjoyed adding the green glow. Now my collection has some sorely-missed heavy firepower. #WorldEaters #40k

If I want to get my name in a rulebook, I think I’ll have to change it to ‘Movement Phase’. 🙂

At the pre-painting and sub-assembly stage of a Forgefiend. Basically, this means I’ve random bits lying around all over and around my hobby desk.

Great book. I still have my hardback one from the late 80s or early 90s. 🙂

Was trying to clip some small parts off a resin model I’d 3D printed. Bits pinged off at incredible speed. Alarming stuff! I wound up clipping the others off one-handed, with the other hand up to protect my face.

Played a bit of #Warhammer #TheOldWorld the other week. I love the horde style of the beastmen!

Eightbound being base coated. It all looks very over-detailed plus also very crude due to the lack of shades and highlights. Painful stuff!

Man, I don’t know what it is with these Eightbound, but it just feels like it’s taking an age to even get them base coated. Pressing on, but it’s hard going!

They are. I got the first edition as an electronic copy, and bitterly regretted it. I need my wargaming books to be a physical one I can flip through and stick notes into! 😃

Much more of a ‘Want’ than a ‘Need’ I’ll be the first to admit, but I just fancied it!

Based on your updates, I went and looked up Triumph. Wound up getting a copy for myself. 👍
