The howls of imperial hounds could be heard in the distance, with the scent of their prey on the wind. But the prey was not worried, with his muscular legs and hooved feet, he could easily outrun any domesticated beast. Filth is what they were, eating from the hands of men and doing man’s bidding as if they had no other choice in the matter. A rare day, to catch the terror of the Drakwald by surprise, but he had been distracted. He could feel another presence in his forest, something foreboding. The empire army had seemed just as surprised, but they outnumbered his small skirmish band nearly ten to one. It was of no consequence, another few hours and he would be completely rid of them, and deep in the heart of the Drakwald again, back to the herd stone, where even the hounds of man dared not enter.

How exactly did you do the base? I can see static grass, a couple of different grades of sand, and are the orange/red 'fungi' dyed lichen? Or flock? It looks excellent. Ultra-realistic without being overdone. I'm especially impressed that you've taken the time to paint the larger sand 'rocks' differently from the finer sand 'earth'.

The rusty sword and the blood on the whip are very well done too. It's easy to overdo effects like that, but you've got it just right.

Great work. I play Beastmen on the side and while I've never been fond of that model you've really done it justice.
