Everybody Skaven!

Even the local hardware store is feeling it!

So, I would never recommend a product; especially to members of a community far more venerable than I. But, I have to say, I've used a boatload of paint strippers and this by far has been the best.

There is no indoor plumbing in the under empire!

This stuff stripped these guys in under 24 hours. I was loathe to test this stripper on anything I really cared about so just bunged in some 14yr old goliaths and some 5th edition chaos marauders. I didn't realize the champ of Khorne was in there til it was too late.

They came out pretty damn fine; better than anything else I've seen in such a short stretch of time.

Except on these buggers. I got em off eBay a while ago; dunno what their previous owner(s) could've used for primer but they definitely had longevity in mind.

So back in they go!

They'll be amongst good company: Stormvermin, plague monks, and a future allies contingent..........

Until next time!

Some Real progress

Right that's 38 ratmen done.

It probably doesn't seem like much to you veteran warlords out there but to me it's a start. 

3 more batches this size and I'll be done. 

The horde as a whole

10 plague monks with standard

15 Clanrats with musician standard and hero

10 slaves 

Rat Ogre and animal handlers

Hope you guys like 'em. I'm not going to base them until I've got at least another 30 or so done, I've built up a bit of steam and I don't want to switch gears yet.

Only 98 to go! Ughhhh I mean woo hoo!

Churning on

No large update today just a handful of rats finished.

I was really into painting up these plague monks until I ran across the scroll on the one pose. 

Damned scroll.

Any time I saved from their shoulder to toe robes has easily been negated by the twice damned scrolls.

No wonder a warp scroll costs 100 points; it's a point per minute painting it up!

Anyway enough bitching. I've got 34 skaven painted up so far which puts me 1 up on my 1 a day challenge.

I'm on pace to have the army finished by Christmas.

Now that would be a gift!

Some progress

Not much done today, at least re goal of minimum of 1 a day was finished. Comments and criticism/advice welcome.

Advice

It took me near an hour to finish this f*cking scroll. 

That being said do I leave it "blank" or free hand something at risk of ruining it?

Unleash the kra-rat-ken

Just a couple new members to Clan Scourge; Nillus and his good friend Lacerat!

Nearly done

Not having the details on this unit finished was driving me nuts. So, after 10 hours of painting yesterday here is the final result:
