I'm about halfway done, I'll have to finish them next weekend. I've had a great time building and painting these, I may have gone a bit overboard on the paint standard for the rats. The bases need a touch of something more now.

Hello all! Time for an update. I've got a Tournament on November 22, and I'm trying to get my Skaven Horde ready in time.

Redid the banner after stripping

Here is a WIP shot of the Battle Standard Bearer Banner. I want it to represent the Storm Banner, as well as be Skaven-like (imo) with green warpstone effects.

I've also been working on painting a unit of 40 Slaves, HPA and need finishing touches on the BSB. I have an oop Grey Seer built and primed and ready for paint...but I just did a small eBay order and got a plastic one. I also got parts to build my Warplock Lightning Cannon...tank.

[Dez667]

I think my Battle Standard Bearer is finished.

My grandmother passed away this morning. She lived a great life, I hope I get to be as active as she was at 95.

Blah blah blah he said to himself So I got some feedback from my wife. She said the banner wasn't lightningy enough. So now I hopefully bring you better lightning for the Storm Banner!

A Screaming Bell for your viewing pleasure! I spent WAY too many hours on this, but I think it came out well. Of course every time I look at it, I see more things I can do. What do you think? What would you do to improve it? I'm open to critique...which is why I post this :) Critique makes you better!

regarding the banner, your wife was right

I like the Stormvermin unit, very characterful, Your rats need some skellies on the bases, to represent poor victims stripped clean of flesh by the ravenous beasts....

The bell, I think you need to do some shading on those green parts, that would improve it no end.

Otherwise a great looking army to a good tabletop standard....

I so wish I had kept all my Skaven figures I had from the 90's... I want to paint some now!

[Dez667]

Thanks

So I finally sat down tonight, drank some beer, and started building some Gutter Runners. I still need to GS some cloaks, and I still have a bunch more to build. It's a start, and I was motivated since my Airbrush has broken again.

I made the slings out of thin strips of plasticard and rocks I broke up with my clippers. I got the rocks at Ikea, I think they are for plants but they are awesome for basing.

If Wolverine was a rat, he'd be this guy!

Great posing and Love the Greenstuff cloaks.

[Dez667]

That's exactly what I was going for, Sam Keith style Wolverine to be specific.
