Mutated Beastmen from Fenris Games - Thumper and Bob (sic!) - Oldhammer perfect

Hello all,
A while back I noticed some of the beastmen (or Goatkin, as they call them) being produced by Fenris Games. And they looked brilliant. Then I happened upon a couple of them going cheap(ish) on Ebay and snatched them. 

And I'm really happy I did so. 

On the same day they arrived in the post, I couldn't stop painting them. They are brilliant sculpts, great details and fun mutations. And no un-needed details here - just plain simple savage tribal-beastmen. Most of them have some kind of mutation, straight out of a Realm of Chaos book, and all of them have great individuality.

The first to be reviewed here are these two chaps, one with a very large left arm, and one whose entire lower body has been twisted 180 degrees. So, yes that is his tail that he is fiddling with...

The beast on the left goes by the official designation of FGGK11 Goatkin brawler "Thumper" and costs £3.50. Thumper is a better name than some of the goatkin have been given, but still... 
Sculpted by a Snuurg, who I don't know but I like his style!

The confusing being on the right is Bob. Yes, they named him Bob. Oh dear. Mr. FGGK12 Goatkin warrior "Bob". Perhaps the crappiest name ever imagined - especially compared to how brilliant this beastman is. Again, sculpted by Snuurg.

This is what "Bob" thinks of his name!
Also notice the sheer size of Thumper's fist. Who needs a weapon with mutations like that?

Both beasts were painted to fit into the Slaaneshi Warband led by Akward, the Minotaur, hence the purplish horns, hooves, etc.

In summary, these are wonderful sculpts. Anyone looking for beatmen for a Realm of Chaos Warband, a wild unit for his or her's beastman army,e tc, should really consider these. Great size, great details, and a pleasure to paint!

More Fenrisian beasts coming soon(ish).

All the best,
Kasper
