I picked up the (excellent) gnoll kit at the weekend. Here's a first stab at painting one (with some long-in-the-fang friends):
-
Very nice. That Reaper one really dominates doesn't it. Great as a Gnoll King/Brute or something like that.
Paint jobs here are really inspiring.

Thanks!
Yes, the Reaper ones are huge. I've got another one with a flail to paint up at some point. I quite like the idea of differently sized gnolls in the same group (the bigger ones might very well be matriarchal females). The Frostgrave one is painted as a striped hyena, rather than a spotted one, to reflect his smaller stature, though others from the box will probably get the spotted scheme to add a bit of variety.
The Essex one doesn't really fit, given the more human-like legs, but I think those old Essex gnolls have a certain something ...

very nice work...they look great! :o

Random question but do you have any idea how these would take to GW beast men plastic arms? These guys keep popping up and I'm starting to think I need to do a Dragon rampant army of gnolls, if I could raid my leftover beast men plastics so much te better.
-
I think they would work well with the GW ungors. Will check tonight; I'd been thinking of mixing and matching with those.
-
Here are some ungors with gnoll arms and vice versa (and a sci-fi kit bash). The gnoll arms are fine on the ungors, barring sleeves in some cases; the ungor arms generally work on the gnolls, but are sometimes oddly aligned.

Thanks hobgoblin, looks like a large part of my bits box suddenly has a purpose!
-
A second completed (more or less) gnoll (or perhaps a viridian feiliform from the Xanthos system). His backpack is upside down, but gnolls like contrary arrangements.

Gnolls in Space = Genius.
