These are excellent. It's good to see a lesser spotted army - I particularly like the characters.

Thanks to both of you for your comments.

@andys, the planning and procurement has been going on for many months but once I’d pulled all the minis together the painting only took a couple of months.  Some of them, such as the Beastherd, are pretty simple - just lots of them!  Oh, and I had to buy a fair amount of brown paint ...

Nice army. I like the 'skirmisher' look you have with the model placement on the bases.
Are any of those models converted?

Thank you to both of you.

@Geep, there were some conversions but they were not difficult.  The Copplestone giants were given some Reaper horns and one of them got some Reaper legs.  The Herdkin were easy: a snip-and-bend conversion of the minis holding spears to make them into bows.  The chariots are GW boars, Old Glory Chariots & Eureka crew.  The Tuskgor riders are MagMil boars + Eureka Ogre Beasts.  Beastlord is a Eureka Ogre Beast pinned to a Reaper Dire Boar.

The herdstone with all the weapons looks really cool! Reminds me of the warhammer fantasy herdstone by Paul Sawyer from the white dwarf magazine from 10-15 years ago...
