Planned as BRB/Warchief in Scaven Army

I really hate this.

Must we have nudity in wargaming

The dismembered, naked woman tied to two sticks is fairly disturbing.

Well done, but yeeesh

Mates... it's only miniature
Medieval/Fantasy wars is not roses and songs...

Our hobby involved imaginary slaughter and yet some of us are still upset by a bit of fake bare skin...

@OP I think it looks delightfully grim, befitting for an army of giant rats really.

There is nothing wrong with nudity per se. Nakedness is humans' natural state of being.

The correct question would be: Must we have an overdose of overly degrading depictions of women in wargaming? Especially if they go so far as to be a skinbag with miraculously intact (but covered) head&face and breasts?

Cheap thrills, in my book. But then again, Mierce Miniatures are known for their puerile sculpts (grotesque titty-sword maidens, anyone?).
[That, combined with the fact that their director screwed over a lot of people, intentionally or by negligence, is why I did not back their KS]

That aside, I think the OP wanted to get feedback on the paint job, not on the sculpt. Here it comes:

Good choice of basic colours. Could need additional highlights and some (controlled) washes to enhance contrasts. Very obvious on the front teeth and the skin, eyes as well (lining).
I like the grimy look of the metal, coul maybe try to add some additional rust effects?

Overall solid paint job!

*Sees OP's location is Russia*

So, yeah....

Thanks for adequate sight.
I think, that some "painted" nudity is not bad, than accent is not vulgarity as "thing-in-self".
Mierce Mini is really has some time is very interesting sculpt concept, but accent on vulgarity downing miniature. I try to make angry ratman. Only big angry ratman... and female torso is accent on cruelty.
Sorry, if anyone see only nu...

My only question is, whats cooking?

Male, female, sometimes camel (as an anekdot)

Love the metal parts i don't like the eyes

I like the head. What's it from, a rat ogre?

It's complete model from mierce-miniatures shop. When it was maelstrom's banelegion trademark - it was one from standard bearer range

It looked to me like you'd done something with greenstuff to make its paunch, which is why I thought the head came from somewhere.

So, he's going to eat a naked chick? I love Skaven

Perfectly acceptable. Should have mangled her up more though. Maybe some breasts that had been lightly mauled and slashed would be less offensive for some gamers. Or maybe if you had him dragging the lower half behind him. I feel the entire female form should be represented to be fair. Maybe with little gs rats coming out of her.
Still, looks good as is.

nice skaven mate, maybe read my signature, but you dont need too, looks proper solid like this already
and guys nudity must serve a purpose, if you have models and you wanna see tits then yeah, thats a pretty stupid reason and id have a bad respect for u
but if you wanna highlight a race's lore (beastmen rape, skaven are supreme murderers, de enslave and rape) then go for it. face it dont do warhammer cuz everyones all happy and giggly, no we do it cuz every race fuq'n hates each other, they do cruel things together, and sometimes these things have to be reminded.

I like it. The dismembered nudie girl is pretty sick, but the Skaven are kinda supposed to be sick.

I can count dozens and dozens of models with dismembered figures on them that no one seems to complain about. Apparently when you put nipples on them it becomes a federal case. I, personally, don't have an issue with it. I think it conveys a very strong image.

That being said, I also wouldn't field it in a game with little children around. I wouldn't use it in games with my son, for instance. I wouldn't use the Forgeworld Angron in games with him either, though.

Any event, nice model.
