WHFB Horses -> Demigryph

Or should I say Manbearpig?
      Generally, these kinds of mixed creatures aren't really my cup of tea, but in order to cheer me up in these rainy jobless times, a box of WHFB was purchased - but why WHFB, you then ask? Well, little Billy, because nowadays WHFB is a lot cheaper than LotR/The Hobbit miniatures AND comes with a lot more bits! And chocolate! Plus, I have always liked the majestic - though very high-fantasy - look of the Manbearpigs, no sorry, the Owlbears, no... the Demigryphs, as well as Games Workshop's take on the griffin/gryphon/griphin/griff. When entering the store, I asked myself: What do I really like about this hobby? The converting phase of a project, was my happy answer.
    Hence, I bought a box of the silly Celestial Hurricanum, because it is smack-filled with bits. The store-owner assured me that the horses were quite coveted by the WHFB-community around the store and that I could easily exchange them in their bits-exchange-programme.
   Blah-blah-blah, long story short: The box was filled with beautiful little bits, but I must say this about WHFB: The proportions are closer to 40 mm nowadays! Super-heroic scale! The plastic men that came on one of the sprues were huge, and their hands... wow...

Some minor details will be added and perhaps the eyes will be redone. I shall have to test-paint both heads to see if the small detail really expresses some sort of majesty... rather not just majestic... speaking of which, how good isn't that song? Wax Fang: Majestic.

I kind of like the big hooves so it is uncertain at the moment whether or not lion's paws will be sculpted. They'll get some sort of tails, though, that's for sure.

This project was another one of those "mixing things up a bit"-projects, which I tend to throw in between big army renovations or other large projects.
      Lastly, everything's changing now: Searching for a new (and better) job, a new place to live - this old multiculti hellhole is getting the better of me - and other stuff related to those two things, which is why updates will be slow.

EDIT: Welcome Quindiastudios to the sidebar. The latest projects on the blog in question have been The Hobbit-stuff!
EDIT 2: A link to Joe5mc's campaign in Middle-Earth* which is short and sweet, for now, but I expect great things of this one!
    *) Or should I say, "campaign in Belegaer"?
