I'll post some minis in new year, see you!
Kings of War
A week ago I've played Kings of War for a very first time. The game was quite fast. I had chosen Undead Army. My enemy has played with Dwarves. Marek has printed old army lists so revenants and revenant cavalry hit on 5+ and there was minor stats changest to heroes. We downloaded new heroes for undead so they could have Dark Surge special rule.
UNDEAD ARMY
Mhorgoth the Faceless
2 Liche Kings
Standard Bearer
20 Skeletons (Standard, Musician and Skeleton Dogs)
20 Revenants (Standard, Musician)
5 Revenant Cavalry
15 Zombies
10 Ghouls
10 Ghouls
Balefire Catapult
DWARVES
King
Berserker Lord
Warsmith
40 Ironclads (Standard, Musician, Mastiffs)
20 Ironguard (Standard, Musician)
20 Ironwatch (Rifles)
10 Ironwatch (Crossbows)
2 Ironblecher Cannons
Ironblecher Organ Gun
THE BATTLE
The battle was quite fast. Specially the first 2 turns. My enemy was waiting and shooting (standard Dwarf strategy). When I reached close combat it seemed to be very fast to finish this game but not with undeads. Check out how this works.
TURN ONE: DWARVES
Only two cannons could shoot so Marek ordered them to shoot at my catapult. Non damage was made.
TURN ONE: UNDEAD
I've ordered every unit to go on it's maximum range. Then Dark Surge was cast on my zombies, skeletons and revenants.
TURN TWO: DWARVES
More shooting! Two ironwatch units and organ gun shoot at my Zombies, destroying the unit. Cannons shoot at Mhorgoth scoring 2 wounds. Ironclad horde threw Mastiffs at my Revenants. Luckily for me, there were no hits scored. Mastiffs are really killing machines.
TURN TWO: UNDEAD
I've marched with my models again. My cavalry was now on Dwarves' right flank and my unit of Ghouls was on their left. The rest has just gone straight ahead. Dark sourge from Liches put revenats and skellies slightly ahead. Mhorgoth tried to kill dwarf king with breath attack. 3 hit's scored, but did not rout him.
TURN THREE: DWARVES
Cannons and Ironwatch regiment (with rifles) took 4 wounds on Mhorgoth. But with his 6 wounds he was just steady.
TURN THREE: UNDEAD
TURN FOUR: DWARVES
Cannons shoot at my Catapult. One hit scored. Nothing bad happened.
TURN FOUR: UNDEAD
TURN FIVE: DWARVES
Again Cannons shoot at Catapult. No hits this time.
TURN FIVE: UNDEAD
TURN SIX: DWARVES
Mhorgoth has been charged by Ironclad horde. No hits has scored! Berserker Lord charged Revenants and kill two of them, Dwarf Ironwatch regiment (the one with rifles) has charged in revenants flank making no damage.
TURN SIX: UNDEAD
Skeletons charged again at Ironguards scoring few hits (no rout) and I've charged again at Ironclad horde with my rest. I scored one hit from Revenants, one hit from Mhorgoth and four hits from cavalry! The Dwarf unit has routed! (even due they reroll)
BATTLE END: DRAW
I've scored 285pts and my enemy has scored 140pts. In Kings of War you win when difference in scored points is more than 20%. So this was a tie.
MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS BATTLE
The battle was nice. I wish to play on new rules with this incredible boosted revenant cavalry. Skeletons with bone rats (or are they dogs?) are really tough. I can easily imagine a horde of those guys with rats and pikes! boosted with liche king! Crushing force!
MY THOUGHTS ABOUT KINGS OF WAR
The game system is not so fast as I thought. Of course I've played on previous army lists. Now the revenant cavalry should be a crushing unit (ME has been changed from 5+ to 3+)! I'm planning to expand my Undead army soon. Hope to get more players.
When playing Undeads always remember to take lots of heroes. Undead are not so strong as Dwarfs, but you can repair your units (witch cannot be done in dwarfs), and if no need of healing, you can shoot with zap! Catapults are cool models, but are mostly useless. I'd like to see 3 catapults firing into one character. This could be nice since they have Piercing (2). Anyway that seems to be something like Warhammer Fantasy Battles 7th edition, where all cannons where aimed into Characters. Obviously, shooting with cannon or stone thrower into a single model is just ridiculous, but it's just a minor bug of those battle systems.

Dwarf Lord and Warsmith
I'm working on Dwarf Lord and Warsmith. Both are made from Mantic Games Dwarf Ironclad parts. Those minis would be for Kigs of War game. I should finish them pretty soon. I'll paint them in standard red and bronze colors.
Skaven Hellpit Abomination
This model is sculpted by and painted by me (Rafal Maj). This one is a kind worm mutated with albino rat. I love the idea with spider eyes and violet tentacles. I'm really happy how this model came up. Tell me what you think bout it.
Skaven Lord on Rat Ogre Bonebreaker
Here's another conversion of Skaven WarLord carried by Rat Ogre Bonebreaker. This time Warlord is in barrel. Rat ogre has Hammer and Sickle. Hope you like it.
Kings of War
I've just received Kings of War Battleset from Mantic Games. The amount of minis inside is incredible. I'll make a review of all sets included soon. I'm starting to glue everything up.
Soon you will see painted minis and battle reports. It's seems that I have only 8 ghouls instead of 10. I'll talk to Mantic if they can repair this issue.
I've also bought 5 Dwarf Berzerkers and they are out of scale. They are way too small compared to plastic ones. I'll show you when I finish them. Prepare for battle!

Skaven Hellpit Abomination
This model is sculpted by Pszemek and painted by me (Rafal Maj). With lots of Wyrdsone and spikes it really looks cool. Ant check out that victim that is swollen. The mini is made of modeling clay and plastic. And look at this worm's ass, it's shitting skulls and bones :D.
Skaven Lord on Rat Ogre Bonebreaker
Here's my conversion of Skaven WarLord in Pot carried by muscular Rat Ogre with Claw and spike. I like the colors and the overall appearance of this mini. Tell me if you like it.
Happy news!
I've just graduate. My project was A! Now I have full time to paint minis. Also I have whole of new ideas! Stay tuned as it would be a lot of minis!

Mordheim Durchii Warband
I've got great concept of Durchii Warband for Mordheim.
I'll order minis soon. I prefer Reaper minis for this warband, hope my warband would be suitable for Warlord too. I heard there are some Warlord players in my area. This warband is total WYSIWYG. I may make few conversions like weapon change or head swap, but this is mostly what I'll be using. This warband has 12 warriors and probably I won't need more.
HIGH BORN
Two Handed Sword, Helmet, Dagger
SORCERESS
Staff, Dagger
FELLBLADE
Sword, Dagger
FELLBLADE
Sword, Dagger
BEASTMASTER
Beastlash, Shield, Helmet
1 CORSAIR
Sword, Dagger
1 WITCH
Sword, Dagger
2 SHADES
Repeater Crossbow, Dagger
3 RAPTORS

My entry for Black Knight Games Contest #1
This is Verminon Lord. Since he has got roman armor I wanted him to look like real roman legionaries. To make sure it will be easily connected with ancient Rome I decided to make bigger base with ruin of a column. This also would make my Lord stand out better. I used head with helmet. I reposed my verminon just by bending metal parts. I cut the hand holding sword from arm and glued it in this way so it is pointing at his enemies. I put a little bit of green stuff to this hand so it has no gaps. The base is made of clay. Totally hand-sculpted by me.
I decided to paint it in NMM technique. This is mainly because I love this technique and I wanted to focus on armor damages which better stand out in NMM in my opinion. because all colors were neutral (black, browns, beige, grays, sand-color, etc I wanted to make one special color which would complete the mini. I put a little rust on armor too. I chose red as it is commonly used with roman legionaries. The freehand on a shield was taken from some round roman shield I found on google. I redesigned it a little bit. I also attached SRQV text to the top of a shield. Romans used SPQR which stands for The Senate and Roman People". I change it into SPQV which now means The Senate and Verminions :) I decided to paint fur in brown colors as most of my new upcoming ratmen army would be in browns, but i also think this looks really well on ratmen.
I used mainly Citadel and Vallejo colors but I also used artistic acrylic paints. Red Blood = reds, Khermi Brown = wood, Cathlan Brown = fur, Fenris Gray = black highlights, Codex Gray = main color for armor, ( I think highligting black with blues makes is better but it depends on mini. Gray is better when you want to make a look of old black cloak, blue is more like new black shirt. Fenris Gray is something between both gray and blue). Leafs are made of paper colored with acrylics. To complete the mini I put yellow (well not exactly yellow) grass. Now it's nice autumn base with verminon lord on it! Hope you like it.

New Graphic Design
Hi! I've made new graphic design for BloodyBeast.com. I hope you'll like it. It would take some time to fully upload it so BloodyBeast.com can looks wierd in this time.
Chaos Deamon Prince
This mini is awesome! I've painted it using Eavy Metal color scheme. I wanted to make it similar with GW model printed on the Box. I;ve used NMM for Gold areas. This way mini would stand out much better! Hope you like it!
Reaper 14040: Malek, Necropolis Mage
Great mini! I've painted it few years ago and re-find it when I rearrange furnitures in my room :). Hope You love it too!

Chaos Deamons Pink Horrors
Thats 40 Brand New Chaos Deamon Pink Horrors for your Army! Check them out!
Floodover
Hi! I won with flood :). I lost lots of books and magazines and some terrain pieces that were in my basement but apart from this nothing really bad happened. It will take me a while to buy what I've lost, that's why I decided to sell some of my armies for Warhammer and Warzone.
Please watch my auctions next monday. I'll be having lot of good staff.

Bandage Head Experiment
This is the mini I'm using for my Warzone Dark Legion Golem of Darkness Conversions. This painted mini is for sale for $15 + $10 Shipping. Just write to me if you are interested.
Space Wolf Lone Wolf
I think this is one of my favorite Space Wolf models I've made recently. That sword and bolter and special armor really gives him that extra wolfy look. Hope you enjoy it too.
Beastmen Cygor (Giant Conversion)
This mini was made using GW Giant Parts. I've slightly modified the pose and ade some extra bitz and sculpting. Also I wanted to make him looking like wearing pants made of various banners. I've added some Tattoos to make it look more chaos-like. Tell me what you think.

Space Wolves Heroes
Hi! I've just finished painting Njal Stormcaller and Lukas the Trickster. Soon on eBay.
River Trolls
Again, one of the most successful GW minis. Yes, those Troll are beautiful. They are very detailed and are made well. Nothing like new GW Minotaurs! This is good Shit and probaby I'll start Collecting Greenskins once again with unit of 6 River Trolls for start. :D
Orc Boar Boyz
Those minis are awesome! Very well designed. And they are just like Warhammer Orcs should look like. They are bulky with naked torso, exposing their muscles to enemy. Also boars are awesome! I'm very impressed by new Orcs & Goblins!
Korhil High Elf Hero
I'm not very keen on Elves, but Korhil is my favourite one. I like the new sculpt very much and I've enjoyed painting too. You'll probably see some more high elves in the near future.
Chaos Sorcerer of Tzeentch
This is conversion made using some bitz from Chaos Spawns. The rest is sculpted from Green Stuff.
Work in progress
I've bought New River Trolls and Orc Boar Boyz. I've painted 1 River Troll so far.
I also finished Korhil and Tzeentch Sorcerer and one Space Wolf.
Probably, they would be on eBay tomorrow.

Great Unclean One
As I said. I did a Great Unclean One. Wast hard to paint it, but I hope you like how it turned out. When I bought this model I wasn't very keen of it. But now I know I'll paint another one someday, coz this model is really well designed.
I did a scenic base to give him that special treat. On eBay now.
