Gnoll

[Hobgoblin]

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!

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.
