Just recently started playing warhammer again after a long break. I have never really finished an army but this time i intend to. Im not the best modeler out there but Im really enjoying myself alot with this army so far. I appreciate any criticism and tips I can get. Dakkadakka has been a huge source of inspiration and i probably wouldnt have taken up modelling again if it wouldnt have been for you guys!

Im using my phone to take these pictures since I lost my camera usb cable and have to special order one before i can take better ones.

The bulk of my army was slapped togeather around 3 years ago without any special attention and i will be trying to save what i can. Its basically 120 clanrats made from plague monks with 80 slaves made from the shoddy models GW call clanrats (god i hate those models ) Everything else will be redone and im aiming to be able to build a few versions of 2250 point armys once im done.

paint scheme test and also the first model i have finished painting in 3 years



Gutter runner tunnellers, Im going to have 1 drill per tunnel team


Night runners and pip test model


Bsb



Working on a unit of plague monks and plague lord and will update with pictures of that unit once its done.
Again, any criticism or tips on how i can improve my models will be appreciated

These beasties are looking really nice!

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread!

Cheers,

Jack.

Hehe,those are better pics then what I have seen taken on most cameras.Anywho,get more up soon.

Brilliant work, these Skaven have a real classic feel. It's brilliant to see old metal minis mixed in there too, the standard bearer is a great bit of work.

I think for me the thing that really makes these figures is the great basing! I love what you did on the first figure.

Where did the parts from the tunneller team come from please? they look ace.
also, nice work on the globadier.
rare to see a skaven blog about, nice thing once there is one though

The drill teams are made from ratling gunners, ork guns some plasticard and the spikes from the rat ogre sprue, I can probably do a step by step on the last 2 drillers im gonna make.


Glad people liking them im learning alot as i go along

Nice! It's great to see skaven with so much care put into them. I don't know what it us but something about skaven draws me in....maybe reading too much Brian Jacques/Redwall as a kid. Anyway, would love to see close ups of the night-runners. They look pretty cool but a better angle/close up would be great to see!

Will be following this one closely!

got some updates, again sorry for the bad pictures

Monks and plague lord



Warlord, saw someone using ikit claw as a warlord a few years ago, cant remember where but I shamelessly stole the idea

Very nice conversions.I like the little skull embedded in the lords base.Also lovely plague lord and plague monk unit.I love plague monks for some reason,can't wait to see 'em paint.

added some work to the bsb, not that crisp but atleast i feel like im improving

Jezzail pavise test model, i will mix metal gunners with converted models from empire handgunners (if i can find the bloody sprues)

another jezzail wip, still got some cleaning up to do

Giant rat torpedos, didnt like how empty the bases looked with only 1 rat per base so i upped the count a little Nothing special but i like the way they look and perform on the table





Automatically Appended Next Post:

WIP rogre WLC pusher, finally a use for my rat ogres! Nice training sculpting fur aswell. Still got alot of work done left pretty much only work on it when i got spare greenstuff that i dont want to waste



Finished jezzail (yeah i see the moldline, its gone now )

I don't normally like Skaven but these models are really good. I love the packmasters' whips. for the jezzails, though, shouldn't they be resting on something? They look far too long to be held like they are. Otherwise good work.
