So these s end up being a lot harder to photograph than the other ones.
I guess it is because I used more muted tones with them and perhaps the light increased the contrast. Or I'm just bad at photography, which I'll own.
I don't like these models as much as the Iron Golems but they are still pretty cool models. And unlike the Iron Golems I won't need any more of them for them to work in my AoS armies.
The Plains Runners are the weakest guys in the force. I'll probably try to get a game of Warcry in later today with these guys and the Iron Golems, but since I'm scheduled to play AoS today they are definitely joining in that.
They are going to go into my Beasts of Chaos force. They are going to be humans that have proved their savagery and joined the tribe or humans that were abducted as children and brought up in the tribe, sort of how Eastern Woodland Indians did with European captives.
The plains runners are going to be ungors. Their relative size and weapon options will fit right in with my ungors and will add a nice bit of diversity to the unit, as well as a few extra guys that will make the unit slightly more robust.
The prey takers will be in with the Bestigors. Their two handed weapons will fit right in, although it will be a little difficult to justify the 4+ save. I suppose the save on a unit is for the unit as a whole and perhaps there are some of the bestigors that have even better armour and make up for these guys just wearing skins and helmets.
I'm pleased with the models and they would make great generic fantasy barbarian types. They would work especially well with some weapon swaps, like adding metal ax heads instead of the bone weapons for a more generic fantasy look.
I like the bone weapons and may come up with a figure to use as a "bone-shaper." Some sort of artizan-shaman type that uses magic to craft the trophies that the warriors bring into weapons. I'll have to have a look about for a barbarian/shaman type who is built like the rest of them, as he would be part bonesmith, but also looks appropriately shamanistic.
I'll try to get to the other four models in this force later today.
