Hmmm.

Did FW make this up, or is there a precedent for an evil bat-lion-deer-thing?

*edit* ah - tis not original. It's just that FW can't spell. It's actually a Peryton, apparently. Wikipedia, font of all knowledge, we bow down to thine infinite wisdom.

FW should stick to doing tanks methinks. I have been rather underwhelmed by a lot of their big fantasy beasties.

The bodies tend to be fine, it's the faces that dont work for me. I reckon this could actually work, if you got rid of those teeth and gave it a bit more of a glare/scowly type expression. As it stands, it looks like a weasel just bit it in the nads.* Likewise with the amethyst dragon they did. The beasties I like are the basilisk (which is pretty much a textbook basilisk, but kudos to them for making it definetly not a dragon) and the bale taurus, which is a bull, and therefor hard to mess up the head. Ya just gotta look at a real cow and youre pretty much there.

*oh, and pick bat wings or feathered wings. Ya cant have both. Deal with it, FW people!

Sure you can. Chaos did it.

Tanks and infantry. The monsters. For the chaos gods are good but after that I think GW monsters are much better.

Chaos might have done it, but it still looked fugly as all hell. I know the deerbat is supposed to be a kinda wierdy amalgam of foresty animi, but there is such a thing as design aesthetic.

I like it. Really looks mutated and it is truly a monstrosity, beautifully ugly.

You know something's screwed up when the painted version doesn't look any better.

I thought that looked bloody awful on the FW site, but decided to spare us all the horror by reproducing it here. Terribly colour choice. And the feathers? I think Ive already made my opinion clear on the feathers...
