Gnolls!


 Here are a couple of gnolls: one originally by Rieder Design and now sold by Alternative Armies (as a "dog man") and the other by Essex. The latter (with the sword) may have a certain iconic status to readers of a certain age, as he was a regular feature of adverts in White Dwarf

Ratmen slingers

 


Here are a couple of ratmen slingers from Ral Partha Europe. They're tucked away at the end of the company's Chaos Imperium range, which consists chiefly of Bob Olley figures done for Ral Partha proper. But there are various slotta-based beastmen and the like at the end, which weren't part of the original range. I think they may have been designed by Tim Prow, though I'm not sure. 



These two are taller than classic Skaven and lack tails. But they're suitably ratty, and I'm always keen on chaos creatures being chaotic in appearance. So they'll fit in comfortably with the original Citadel metal Skaven. Slingers are always handy in Mordheim, too.

Blood for the Blood God!



Strange circumstances compel me to put together a Warhammer scenario, of all things, using second-edition rules. As I'm going for a low-level, low-points feel, I need low-end minions of chaos to go along with some beastmen. I thought this Copplestone half-orc and his fellows would make perfect chaos thugs, and here we are.
