I decided at the outset of the Oldhammer Warcry project that I would aim to paint up a 10-strong warband. Originally I was thinking of three dwarfs, six warriors and an ogre, but as it turned out, having painted two dwarfs I was happy enough with those, and decided to paint an extra warrior instead – in the form of another classic GW barbarian.
The barbarian was the most involved of the final three models, boasting a headswap (for a more recent plastic warrior helm with the horns removed), a weapon replacement and a greenstuffed Khornate shield icon.
The other two warriors were painted up in their original form, with just a little base decoration added to spice them up a bit. These two seem to have been on some kind of beastman hunting party; both are draped in furs, and one even has a grisly gor head attached to his helmet (this was the most enjoyable bit to paint actually).
With that, Vileclaw’s Reavers are complete, and ready to dominate the Warcry arena! Although I do now have an itch to paint up a standard bearer, musician and some more dwarfs, so that I can field them as a small Chaos force for Warhammer, as mentioned in my post about Grimstikk’s Goblins. Anyone have any good suggestions for command group models?

Nice work, you’ve done some great painting on those lovely oldhammer miniatures. The Warrior with a Beastman’s head as his hat is one of my all-time favourites.
Excellent painting on some classic minis.There’s so much character to them.
Thanks! Yeah they have a lot of charm, and not tooooo much detail which I definitely prefer!
