Sandmanns Fantasy Stuff

[Sandmann]

Moin (As you say were I live for "good day")!

In this log you can see the various stuff I paint. Mostly my skaven from the warlord-clan Nimmermehr, but also my Tomb Kings from Lybaras, some wood elves for the Lord of the Rings and some bits and pieces.

Have fun browsing, and leave a comment!

Well, on to the pictures! Which is still troubling me a bit, so please excuse the sometimes shoddy quality of these..
And while I'm making excuses, like a good skaven should, I'm no native speaker, so please excuse me if my english is not perfect
First is Warlock-Engineer Squeek Quezla. He is actually the first miniature I painted for this army. After buying half of the Skaven half of IOB on eBay, I immediatly started with him, the model is just awesome.

Next is his favourite toy, the Doomrocket!

Build from a few spare parts from my now dormant WH40K army.
And, last but definitely not least: My Warlord, Vriek Knorpelklaue.
Obviously Queek Headtaker minus his trophy rack, which is now my Battle Standard, but more on that later...

Good start to the army man, your queeks skin tone is wonderful.

Eager to see more of your stuff as you go along

[mdiscala]

Yeah I like the albino queek.

[The Boatman]

Beautiful work on the warlord's skintone. Will definitely be following this - looking forward to seeing a full unit up and painted.

[ftayl5]

Nice Doomrocket mate, and I echo the others comment about the skintone, nice work.

[Sandmann]

I'm quite happy how the warlord turned out myself, so thanks for the comments

And now for his loyal (for a skaven) subordinate, chieftain Viskit Kopfsammler (head-collector in german):

He's made from a plastic Stormvermin, Queeks trophy rack and an old skaven spear blade.

[mrtn]

Nice start to your army, will follow this.

[Sandmann]

I've got some more finished minis, but unfortunatly I'll have to wait for the weekend to take pics, so you can expect an update then!

[Daniel36]

A white rat. Now there is something original! Which is surprising, but I have certainly never seen one before. Weird, because it looks awesome!!

[Karak Norn Clansman]

Lookin' good there, especially Queek and the BSB. Let's see a test Clanrat next, please?

[Sandmann]

@Karak Norn Clansman: Sorry to disappoint you, but this update is...

Ratogres!
Sorry, picture quality is a bit low on this bunch. Daylight saving time means getting home when it's already getting dark...

[Elsbeth]

I like these models very much. Well done.

[joshuaslater]

Inspiring!

[ftayl5]

Oh wow, loving the packmaster.

[unwanted]

Great painting, only thing that bugs me is the white fur on the ROgres, doesn't really work for me...

[Sandmann]

Thanks again for all the comments!
By the, way, I didn't say it at the beginnig, but C&C is of course appreciated

@unwanted:
Actually only one Rogre has really white fur. The middle one has light grey fur, it's a bit hard to see in the pics.
And the albino is mainly painted that way so I can use him as a Masterbred when I've got the points left.

[Sully]

Wow, that has to be a first time: I log on Warseer repeatedly for a couple of weeks and I see not one, not two, but THREE skaven armies that actually make me like skaven, well, more like "not hate them as much"...

I like how you reinforce the feral, animalistic feel of skaven with your color scheme - the fleshy chests and the furry heads, for instance. Good, truly good stuff here.

[unwanted]

Ah, okay, just looked like a bunch of white-furred ROgres to me

Also, Queeks' rack actually works pretty well as a standard. The Master Moulder is a great little mash-up, the backpack-thing is from Fabius Bile's chirurgeon, yes?

[Sandmann]

@unwanted: Yes, it is. I think it works really well for skaven, thats why I used it

[MOMUS]

Nimmermehr/nevermore, is that a E.A.Poe reference?

The white on your skaven looks really nice, not a colour often used for rat men either.

Nice work!
