Old Skaven Madness - part 35 - Harpies or Beastmen

Hello all,
As I mentioned I really hated the GW-harpies so I grabbed some of my old Beatmen models and granted them a mutation of Wings. They worked brilliantly (although lining them up could be troublesome) as the old Beatmen were some of the best models ever made by GW.
Anyways - here are four of them:

Best regards,

Old Skaven Madness - part 34 - Harpies II

Hello all - continuing on with the harpies here are the last of the bad old GW harpies. One has been given an oversized claw which is from an old Ral Partha dragon - he looked very mean, and was usually the last to get removed fromt he unit :-).

 Oversized claw of dooooom! :-).

 Mean looking thing!

All the best,
Kasper

Old Skaven Madness - part 33 - Harpies I

Hello all,

I realize this is not legal anymore but back when I played Skaven one would never, never, go to war without some Harpies. These were almost the only solution to warmachines a Skaven army had and without them the big units would just get shot to pieces. So the trick was to use the cheap Harpies to harass and destroy. I loved them - so diverse.

Anyways - these are the first members of my trusty Harpy unit. Unfortunately GW released these horrible minis and I bought a pack of them before realizing just how horrendous they were. They look ridiculous and trying to rank them up was impossible. On top of that, their wings always fell of during a battle. Always. So after painting these I used some of my old beastmen and gave them wings - worked and looked much better - they will be up next time.

Anyways; allow me to present the first three of the ugliest GW minis ever:

Although bad minis - I still quite like the paintjob :-).

Best regards,
Kasper
