Broo test piece

I love Broo.  This is my test piece, a mix of natural hydes, insane scribblings, sickly green greys and poopy shit splatters.  Likey?

I hear a whisper on the wind that Broo where the Space Marines of their time insomuch that they made citadel a tonne of money- and this is reflected in just how many they churned out.

This chappy is from the pre-slotta era and is a fixed head variant.  Broo later morphed into 'beast men' with several artists tackling them, including Trish Morrison, Bob Olley, Kev Adams and Jes Goodwin no less.
As the range evolved they became less beast men and more goat men, though you can find all creatures great and small in the early ranges- camels, owls and bees for example.

More undead.  More broo.  And a coffee and sandwich.

    1. I concur. The washed out palette is outstanding. I am all for copying but your style is something I don't think I could manage. I would have to completely relearn everything. It still looks most impressive!

    1. Well someone got lucky with those. I love how consistent you got the old and newer sculpts to feel. A group shot would have been lovely!

  4. Love the drab tone. It's a hard look to pull off and you've done it impeccably. A whole herd of these bastards will look stunning.

  5. Loving the new style. Dark and monochrome is the way forward. Very nice indeed.

  8. Stunning, Dave. Absolutely stunning. The freehand runes on the back are great. This is going to a fantastic force for Skulldred.
