I guess everyone who's been around awhile has a verminlord, it only took me until 2014 to collect one and 3 months to get the balls to work on him. From the beginning I wanted him leaning further forward than anyone else's it screams aggression, rape, pillage cause decay in the name of the Horned Rat. He's myf first large monster ever pinned and green stuffed

The Lord of Shadows takes shape

Repositioned left arm; I wanted it pointing down as if to say "You, yes you there in the robes, you're fucked, no not the swordsman there, YOU!"

Rebuilt back to have him leaning further forward

This shot shows the elevated neck a lot bettler. I wanted him looking where his finger was pointing and to have his chin off his chest. I'd never understood why his face had been left so incredible static; it looks like a kindergarten kid wearing a an African mask. I wanted his head lifted a bit more action than hero pose. I think it makes him look a bit wulfen esque but that is not a bad thing (anything which reminds you of Rackham is a good thing)

Ive always wanted this figure and not that I'm one to bid and tell (because I despise fuckers who post nan na na na na look what I got mincers) I secured him for £8.

Paint to come soon(ish). As for anyone who thought he couldn't fill a 50mm base, well nuts to you he looks goddamn triumphant. Once my current ebay bids win his base will be swarming in giant rats. Mwa ha ha. MWA-HA-HA etc

As always comment thanks

Today's progress

Warlord Srillix Completed

Went for a different approach to the basing this time round saved a lot of time

The results turned out pretty good

Unfortunately his spear blade snapped so I had to green stuff and pin in back into place. It looks a bit sloppy but I knew if i tried it over again it would turn out worse.

So, with warlord Skrillix done I've got two weapons teams and some movement trays to finish for my next game.

I'm Very excited, it will definately be the most skaven I've put on the table in quite some time. I've only got a week to get everything done and finalize an army list. I've been laid out with strep throat, so I gotta climb back up on that horse.

Wish me luck and let me know what you think of Skrillix.

Thanks for stopping by.

Today's progress

Giant Rats DONE!

30 of Clan Moulder's finest in all their glory, well the little glory giant rats muster

In a unit this big it's nice to have a little eye catcher so I used one of the reaper rat 'piles' and painted each one a different fur colour, and mounted them on a 20x40mm base.

Looks much better than the all brown variant I went with a few days ago.

Here's another view

Really happy with the results, next up for clan scourge is Warlord Skrillix

I've been writing a bit of story from the point of view of my general: Xerxes in my games with Scully as Clan Scourge grows. Maybe I'll post it but I'm very critical and there's a lot of great writing out there on other blogs already so we'll see.
