I finally lost my Mierce Miniatures cherry! It's Broga, the Wereofor Thegn, no less - because I guess 'Pigman' is too difficult to spell.
Let's wrap up this Chaos Beasts army!
I'm short of characters in the army, and I fancied something meaty like a Doombull. However, I'm not crazy about the current GW take on minotaurs, and so I was drawn to this big fella from Mierce.
(although they also do some tasty minotaurs - I don't know why that didn't occur to me)
And somebody had better bury my wallet in the garden - because I now loooove Mierce miniatures. The resin model takes paint so well - I didn't do anything special for this one, but it looks so much better than my regular plastics.
There were a few squeaky moments: some of the resin was warped (notably the sword and polearm) which would have looked awful - but a cup of boiled water sorted it out. It also came in a number of little pieces: tusks I can accept, but those tiny ears also had to be glued separately (so fingers crossed they survive).
The skin was a new paint recipe: XV-88 base, Agrax wash, Zandri Dust highlights. The rest was fairly standard for my beasts.
In the absence of any better ideas, I'll be running him as a Doombull (Doomboar?), although I don't have any Warherd units for him to use his command ability. Unless, that is, I go back to playing my Skin Wolves as Bullgor.
So the general's in place, and the various beasties are champing at the bit to play the first Age of Sigmar at the WoffBoot!
Gentlemen, I shall see you at the tables.

Yes! Mierce!
ReplyDeleteBrutal looking army, that. The pigman is a lot bigger (pigger) than the solo shots make him look. He really towers over the others. Which reminds me, I have a finished minotaur who needs an updated close-up...
