Hi everyone,
I'm wanting a little help with some beastmen Gor suggestions. I'm wanting a few beasties that lie somewhere between the very simple foundary beastmen and the current over the top AoS Gor herd.
I touched up these guys which I think is the vibe I'm looking for. I'm very particular to the goat heads as opposed to fawn heads.

What could I look for?
Cheers
Matt

There are a lot of 3D printed options on Etsy. I’ve been checking for some myself as I prepare to build a Beastmen army for The Old World and Oathmark.
-
I’ve gone with the GW plastics which aren’t too bad. For me they still give a bit of an old school vibe.

There are some nice Bob Olley beastmen in the Ral Partha Europe Chaos Imperium Range (http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/shop/ral-partha-fantasy-c-37/fantasy-armies-c-37_39/chaos-imperium-c-37_39_45/):
(http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/shop/images/02-238c.jpg)
It's worth remembering that people will pay a fortune for Bob Olley's GW beastmen (and black orcs), but many of his equivalent figures for other companies are cheaply and readily available.
You mention a preference for goat heads over faun heads, but where do you stand on crocodile, dog and rat heads? (I've never understood why Citadel/GW went all goat after the initial glories of Trish Carden's camel-men, seahorse-men, eagle-men and slug-men - why shouldn't chaos be chaotic?).

Deeper in the same range, there are some non-Olley beastmen with slotta tabs, which might fit well with the two you posted:

Midlam Miniatures does some great beastmen (https://www.midlamminiatures.co.uk/beastmen.html) too: there are boar-men, ram-men and dragon-men (all by Bob Olley), but also some rather good fishmen:

Reaper Bones does some interesting beastmen:

And their big gnolls are nice if you want a unit filler (shown here with Frostgrave gnolls, which would fill a 25mm base perfectly well):

The Alternative Armies dogmen are essentially gnolls, but are nicely scaled as Gors (I have the older set, second below, which fill 25mm bases nicely; they're quite bulky):

Finally, the monopose Battlemasters and Warhammer beastmen are often available quite cheaply on eBay - it's worth keeping an eye out:

Conquest games Myths of Albion range ones might be worth a look and also Crooked dice do some.
Edit: They may not be what you where after, but it would be a bit disingenuous of me not to mention the brood slaves in Crusader miniatures fantasy range!

Threads like this one are rather dangerous. With all these great suggestions one might end wanting to start a beastmen army and add yet another pile of miniatures to his pile of shame

Knightmare Miniatures have a bunch of great beastmen, including a few weirder options, they're not the cheapest though.

I second the Conquest Games ones. They come with various poses, weapon and shield options.

OOh you gents are legendary, thank you kindly!!
Threads like this one are rather dangerous. With all these great suggestions one might end wanting to start a beastmen army and add yet another pile of miniatures to his pile of shame
Isn't it just!! 10 models or so for skirmish should be safe right?! ;D
I’ve gone with the GW plastics which aren’t too bad. For me they still give a bit of an old school vibe.

Ah so you went the fawn plastics, its a tough choice, if the sprues also came with goat heads id go that or the frostgrave gnolls i think as they are more available here in Aus.
But as they don't I'm loving those midlam miniatures, Conquest and Ral Partha. They have the right old school evil vibe about them! Might just have to pay shipping from over the seas. But thats easily going to run more than a new box of GW :(
Is there Goat heads available for the ungors or Gnolls anywhere that you know?
Or what gen WFB should i be looking for on ebay, something after the 5th gen monopose right? Or is 3-4th gen good?
Thanks gents!!!!

Goat Heads from Australian company Victoria Miniatures might help? Some sci-fi goggles on a few though.

Also, if you don't mind we'll dressed goatmen, there's Crocodile games. I wish I could buy them locally...

Lucid Eye have have their Brash Horde. Six beastmen plus a leader and shaman. They're pretty expensive but nice minis.
