Heyo guys,


A brief introduction:

Im new to dakka but I come to you today with my skaven army (it has been posted on a few other forums around the net) I have been working on and off on my skaven now for about two years Im just really starting to put in the effort to finish it and hopefully auction it off on ebay before the fall when I go off to college. I am 18 I have been in the hobby for nearly as long as I can remember, I love to paint and sculpt!
Some things you can count on in thread are regular updates, interesting* creations (after all it is a skaven blog) tutorials if requested and lots and lots of pictures conceptual drawings ect, currently I am toying with some warmachine but dont expect much of that my focus will be primarily skaven and a tid bit of 40k here and there. I beg you for constructive criticism after all I will be attempting to sell the final product! if you have any questions do not hesitate to PM me or post here!

Thank's for viewing

Let me start off with my vermin lord



more WIP shots are available on my photobucket, much work is still needed to be done but let me know what you guys think of him!



a quick army shot, I have many many more clanrats i need to assemble :(



more clanrats.. let me know what you guys think! expect updates soon C&C please!

thanks for viewing!

Wow.

He... The... Agh...

I want that verminlord.

Your work is amazing! I can't wait to see more!

S_P

No idea why this thread it not already flooded with replies

Lovely work, nice muted and coherant colour scheme. Would love to see them in more detail, any chance of a clear close shot of some of the clanrats? Any digi cam with a micro function should be perfect.

moar people should see this its real good

consider me subscribed

Thanks guys! and infalna I will try to post some tonight I just need to track down my camera, I've been using my iphone but the lighting in my house is never great :(

Sexy Sexy Verminlord!!!

Me Wants!!!!

Ah skaven, so cool in their own kill all your buddies and yourself way. Your vermin lord is amazing it's enough to make you want to eat irradiated rock and gain super powers... Then you know kill all your buddies as you blow up.

Hey guys, I've done a wee bit of work sense my last post as requested I attempted to take a better photo of the clanrats ( let me know if these are what you were looking for)



Clanrats and such, I've been approaching painting the clanrats I'll post a comparison below but essentially the reason for this is time. With my painting style I like to place an emphasis on flesh, Im looking to achieve a sickly skin tone over all but I want to get it done quickly! Ill post two clanrats bellow of the two different methods please let me know which you prefer and which you think might help me sell this army better! please I could use all the feedback I can get and I'd really appreciate it!



(speedish painting above)



(painstakingly slow above)


But clanrats are not all that is on my mind, I have done a little work with plague lord nurglitch, storm vermin and one of many rat ogres!

hey guys, I obtained some more gs the other day so im going to continue chugging away with my hellpit abomination, I despise the GW model although it does have some good bits.... This thing is almost entirely scratch built. Uhmm well let me know what you guys think and please help me out wit the clanrats!





here have some random shots

heyo guys, this threads been a little dead but I thought I'd post a quick update for whom ever (if anyone ) still follows this blog. Recently I have found myself wanted to explore more 40k, especially giving true scale space marines a try. Im hoping to order some raven guard stuff of forge world (they are rather awesome) and possible some chaos renegade guardsmen junk....

Back to skaven.

I am continuing to work on my hellpit along with several dozen clan rats, although I really would appreciate some feedback on them!! please I'm begging you!!

Really nice. Your quick painted skin looks very good for quick. So go with it if time is of the essence

Just the beginning..

Woweez this is the sickness, literally, look at all the pox!

Heyo guys... I've spent the past few days working on storm vermin and this Grey knight!





C&c welcome as always where are you guys!?

That face looks really good! Actually, all your stuff looks good. Are you planning to do a whole GK battle force or just a few of them?

Moltar wrote:That face looks really good! Actually, all your stuff looks good. Are you planning to do a whole GK battle force or just a few of them?

I might get a squad of grey knight terminators depending on how this guy terns out and ebay them off as a group!


quick update! still working away
guy

dont mind his right leg....


C&c welcome as always

Wow, excellent painting on that GK. and awesome Skaven stuff. Keep up the good work!

Heyo guys, todays update.

Im nearly done with my latest grey knight project.





Both arms still need a little work along with the banner other then that just finishing up the base and he's good to go. Im hoping to throw him up on ebay as a trial mini :O we'll see how this goes!

I went about creating a pay pall and ebay account today, hopefully someone will be interested in my stuff especially my skaven, I have been considering making molds of the vermin lord and putting a few of them up online I understand this may not be the best idea because of legal recourse but Im interested in taking the risk. I'd really love to hear back from some of you guys who regularly auction your stuff off and do commission work because I am having a difficult time valuing my work, please any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys! I finished Draigo today and posted him on ebay








and Just in case you wanted to help a fellow dakkite

C&C welcome as always, back to my skaven !

These Skaven are fantastic! It makes me sad that they're just thrown in a box like that when they deserve a nice carrying case. It might be wise to invest in one since you don't want any of those great models to break or have their paint chip. Or is that box just a temporary thing until the army's done?

they've been out of that box for months, but I really do need to find a proper carrying case I have to repair chips more often then Id like!

What sorcery is this?! Where did the skaven go!? Bring them back at once-once! Quick-quick, man-thing, before I order my legions to feast upon the cables in your walls and the carrying structure of your toilet!

Hey guys Todays update:

So I really did enjoy my tampering with 40k, I think I'll paint up a kreig squad I have over the next week throw them up on ebay too. I spent much of today sorting through various boxes rescuing stray skaven and organizing them!! I hope you guys are proud I also am working on my hell pit, im homing to finish green stuff work tonight and begin painting tomorrow C&c welcome as always and if anyone likes my work and wants to help me out check out my ebay auction on draigo!





and some proof!

The HPA looks really awesome and disturbing, but I think he's a bit top heavy. I would add a third leg. This will not only make him more abnormal and weird, but will also solve his problem of looking too much like a more top-heavy squig.

I really like that idea, a tripod Abomb would be pretty cool

skin basecoat is down!

Soo i stayed up until 1:30 painting my abomb, hope you guys enjoy! its still very much a WIP c&c welcome as always! let me know what you guys think!




next to my vermin lord



some better frontal shots,






Im planning on really adding a lot more gore to it, similar to what i did with the blinded rat ogre, Im working some greens into the flesh tone too give it a decaying look! let me know what you guys think! ps dont forget about my ebay auction :(

REALLY nasty looking. I definitely think it looks better now that it has some more limbs. I'm especially fond of the wall of gnashing teeth on the left side.

I'm not sure about the green right now. Definitely brighten it up with some sickly bone or putrescent bright green colors to really make it look decayed. Right now it looks out of place with the mesh of red and flesh tones.



P.S.

How exactly did you make that Vermin Lord? The only part of it I recognize is the tail from the HPA.

Great stuff here. What is the pink stuff your green stuffing on for the hellpit?

It Looks Horrible... It's Disgusting and completly vile...

I Love it !
