Antiquis Malleum Beastman Designs


Last post I shared with you the latest concept sketches from the workstation of the great Anthony Ackland. After a string of chaos warriors, it was the turn of the lowly beastman to see the Grandmaster of Chaos' twisted attentions. As I stated, the sketch represented the first in a series of similar models and your feedback was very constructive, so thank you. It seems that many of you prefer your beastmen 'non-goaty' to coin a term and I am please to report that Tim Prow has completed the first green. A green complete with old school style 'beastman armour!

This one could have stepped right out of Slaves to Darkness or Fantasy Warlord! 

What do you think? 



That shield is really impressive is it not? Hmm... Is it me, or could we have had our first view of the 'Visage of Malign'?

  1. I would like to paint that. I guess that means it is a great sculpt :-). But the shield will be separate, right? Otherwise it will complicate the painting process.
    All the best,

  2. Although I do like goaty beastmen, it's nice to have a range of beastly beastmen. Just like the old days!

  5. Excellewnt mini and nice artwork. I can totally agree with the design not always having to be goat like. Back in the 80s the beastment were described as warped beasts once human. So all different and not the stereotypic goats like today.

  6. He s really cool. I like it. I hope that the shield will be separate too. How many other beastmen are planned? When will all the minis be released? What will be their price range?
