Clan Rictus Rising. Skaven done well-good-bad.

[Hideous Loon]

Okay, no pressure, but it's alays nice to hear that one's ideas are taken into consideration!

[unwanted]

So, I've been away from my brushes, paints and glue for a while, but here's a small update...

I'm still working on the clanrat regiment posted last time, but I've only managed to finish the second rank (bar basing...).

I have however been doing some other stuff too, mainly (nearly) finishing and undercoating a Battle standard bearer:


And converted the Champion of the Stormvermin, which is the next regiment on my list:


So, for now, let me know what You think, my most esteemed fellow Warseers

[meowser]

like the sv champ,
and your painting is really nice, i especially like the rat ogre
your cheiftain and bsb conversions look like they are coming along nicely as well
how are you going to do shields on your stormvermin unit?

[Zodiac]

I really cant wait to see that BSB come out, I want to make one too and I've been thinking about the lustrian hero with the additional hand weapons, and What Does My Eye Catch 'Ere?

[unwanted]

Ok, so I'm back with an army-shot.

Might not be the best pic, but it shows the army as it stands currently.

I'll return later tonight with the Battle Standard Bearer, and detail shots of a few minor Clanrat-conversions, just to showcase the care I put into maknig my Clanrats stand out (way to tut my own horn )

Ok, here's the first WIP of my BSB.

Front/side:


Back:

I've tidied up the metallized areas under his chin and on the robe.

I'll try and finish him before going home. Am currently at my brothers.

(First off, sorry for posting again, but I'm in need of attention)

Ok, so I finished the body for the BSB, here's two views.

Front:

And back:


C&C is most welcome!

Slick painting! I like the spike on his head, really makes him more menacing!
You might want to take a second look on the tail ya know!

[unwanted]

Which part of the tail would you be refering to?
And I am currently painting the banner, should look grand.

Oh yeah, and it is Stormvermin time! I just undercoated these guys, but here's a shot of the Unprimed first rank, and a profile view of one of them

Effective hand swap for the Stormvermin champion. This is getting better.

Top knotch Skaven-ing there. I love them, they look so gritty and .. well.. Skaven-like!

Its making me want to go back and start work on my own Skaven again, consider your thread subscribed!

[unwanted]

Thanks guys, and it really means a lot to get praise from spikedog himself.
It was, at least partly, your log that inspired me to get cracking with these little fellas

[Zodiac]

I was referring to te parts that segment the tail, you know.. like a wurm.. It has segments , and between segments its darker than the actual segments..
Get what I mean?! Because I dont! :P

Just one more thing, dont use second hand bases mate! You want the sharp edged bases!

[squiggoth]

Sweet blog .... Some very amazing conversions and a great colour scheme.
You even managed to make the plastic Monkey Mice look actually rat-like, which is something I thought to be impossible.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

[cerealkiller195]

looks amazing i love skaven armies but i dont have the patience to paint the army.

Oh, I get you

Thing is, the tails of many newer Skaven are not so clearly segmented as they used to. Same thing with the stormvermin.

It's in the model rather than the painting I'm afraid.

No worries mahn..

[unwanted]

And I finished the Battle Standard bearer (bar basing...)!


And a Detail-shot:


Hope you like it!

[Zodiac]

Thats amazing! So totally radical!
I dig it!
No serious man, that looks GOOD
ace work on the banner!
That guy looks very good!

[unwanted]

Well, at least it's very recognisable.

And dear me, I just spotted a spot of paint in the wrong place!
