Painting the Herd

Beastmen colours traditionally mirror their wild and erratic behaviour - the dark matted fur contrasting with reds and pale skin tones. Nick Bayton has painted up the Gor in the below example using some lighter tones for the fur to contrast with the Beastmen collection in the Studio. Of course the same colours and methods work e!ually well on "ngor and Bestigor models.
