Greetings Terrans, I had a bit of a spurt of enthusiasm since my last post, and actually managed to get the last minis painted up for my OldHammer iteration of Scynir’s warband. Back when I first rolled up the warband in 2022, it was mostly Beastmen and a few humans, but I also allowed myself extra rolls following various games I played with the plastic incarnation. As a result, I got some pretty interesting followers to add, including the Chaos Dwarfs I transitioned to lead a few weeks ago. Here are the OldHammer iterations of some of the more weird and wonderful warband members, starting with these feathered beauties:
These Harpies are from Foundry, and are really nice models and great fun to paint – not sure why one random has human lady legs, but hey, it’s all good. I used the hair and wings to display the warband colours of orange and blue, and I thought this was effective enough to not need extra blue from warpaint. I’m really pleased with how they turned out!
Next up is a trio of Skaven:
These guys are also from Foundry, but are much less fun to paint than the Harpies… I think the sculpts are a bit ropey, no lovely long ratty tails and they look a bit well-fed to me – I prefer my rat-men to be more gaunt and feral looking! But still, these ratbags do add some charm… and some range!
Finally, we have a big ol’ Minotaur, and what better job for such a big beefy boy than being a big beefy flag waverer!
Again, this one is another Foundry model, and he really is very nicely posed for some top-drawer flag wavery. I removed his right hand weapon & sculpted in the banner pole over some wire, while the finial was made from the Horror that donated its arms to Scynir. The main body was painted up as per the earlier Beastmen, including sexy warpaint to bring in some Tzeentchian blue. I really enjoyed painting the banner itself, but with hindsight, I wish I hadn’t put a hole in it!
And that’s it – warband complete for now. This group will form the pool of minis that I use to pick out my 600 point warband for the event in November – looking forward to it immensely!
Next on the painting table – Eldar…
Leadballoony - It's a lead thing 
Great work on all the Beastie creatures of the warband Alex, the harpy with the human legs could be used as a leader if needed for the group, as she would easily be spotted in the group. Hope you have a great time at the event.
Cheers mate, they are a fun bunch eh? Looking forward to a whole weekend of geeking out š
Oh wow man so much great stuff here. The wings on the harpies are great and that banner is mind blowingly brilliant. Well done on finishing the warband mate
Cheers dude – nice to move a to-do into the to-done pile š
It doesnāt happen much with us hobbyists does it hehe
š¬ true
Some excellent painting there, well done. I can’t wait to hear about how they get on in your events.
Cheers mate – Iām guessing badly š
Top stuff again, the Minotaur is the star of the show but they’re all great. Hope the event went well? Good to see a project “completed” as well, I think I need to work on doing that more often…
Cheers dude, and yes, the event was awesome thanks! Turns out WFB 3rd ed is a solid game af skirmish level š¤
