Subject: Clan of the Drowned Rat - Tournament over, Great Results!

Hello, and welcome to the insanity! I've teamed up with a friend of mine over on the Miniwargaming forums, to paint as many Skaven as possible during the month of March. I'm personally planning on setting the goal of having a 1500 point army done to a tabletop quality, and will go even further if I can! I'm sure I'll have to take a second pass at it later, as I'd like to enter it into the Golden Rat contest.
I love Clan Eshin, and I think of the Clan of the Drowned Rat as a descendent. I envision them as being very mysterious, showing up with no warning to accomplish an objective and then disappearing. Very few have seen them, and those that have are startled at their appearances in places that should take weeks or months to travel to in a matter of days, sometimes hours! I figure most of their work is done around Mordheim, which would explain their green glowing eyes and wealth. I went for a Tunnel/Cave basing scheme, and will do Dwarf and Night Goblin slaves to match. These slaves will also belong in their own armies, whether I play them or not I want to have matching armies in a theme 
I'll be painting them in dark colors, mainly black and red. The lower the ranking, the more color they will have (so as to draw attention away from the leadership).
Painted:
25 Clan Rats
Plaguewind Mortar
Ikit Claw
2 Assassins
Warplightning Cannon
35 Stormvermin
24 Giant Rats

Great looking stuff! Warpstone! Warpstone everywhere!!  Just what I like to see! I'm a big fan of the classic Skaven Warplightning cannon and you've done a great job with it! Always love seeing more Warhammer fantasy on Dakka and your Skaven are a treat! Subbed and keep up the good work!

Slainte! Automatically Appended Next Post: I got the 35 Stormvermin done! I had a little bit of fun with these guys, and made them rank up so that the Musician faces backwards. This rat is smart enough to know that the way the music is turned down is with a knife in the back. Unfortunately he will be in trouble from whatever they meet in the front, but he knows the greater threat I also modeled several of these guys with shields on their backs and arms, also as insurance against knives in the back

Thanks Peter, sure can!
Base Warpstone Glow
Highlight Moot Green
Wash everything, including the surrounding area you want to glow, in a really thinned down Moot green. If I had to guess, 5 parts water to 1 Moot Green
Highlight again with Moot Green
Highlight white or bright yellow
Pretty easy, once you get started. Practice on test models/objects first.

Some progress update: Primed the Warlock and BSB and put a little paint on them. Just a quick drybrush with dark gray to outline the highlights and shadows, a bit of red. I spent most of my night working on the Bell, put the base for the warpstone, the arc/stone and the Rat Ogre. I'm thinking about giving that rat ogre different 'patches' of fur, but we'll see. Just kinda trying out different colors at this point. I may need to put the Bell aside for a bit, I need to finish the BSB, a Wraithknight and a Crimson Hunter before the months end.

I did a bit more work on the BSB last night. Looks like I'm going to have to strip the banner itself, I'm not liking the start (it will be green Warp Lightning) but the Chieftain looks like he has a good base coat on.

I have not been idle, my brushes and sculpting tools have been busy every night. Well, except last night where I played a game of WFB. I love that game. Everything that could have gone wrong did, and I still had a blast.
I have a top secret project I'm excited to show, but not yet. No no, not yet

Here is a WIP shot of the Battle Standard Bearer Banner. I want it to represent the Storm Banner, as well as be Skaven-like ( imo) with green warpstone effects.

Nice looking stuff! Good to see some more skaven players posting their work.
Your paint jobs are really nice on most of your stuff I like it! Those dark stormvermin aren't my style tho personally I like them a bit lighter but that's just how I like to paint mine.
Nice conversions on those gutter runners. I'm hoping to try to do an assassin that way because I have like a bajillion skaven models haha

Thanks guys! Sorry for the lack of updates, but I needed to put my nose to the grindstone to finish my army in time for the tournament on November 22nd. I ended up coming in second, and also won best painted so it was worth it  I'll update with some full army pics later.
My list, for those interested, was not typical.

-Squeel Gnawtooth
HPA
HPA
Doomwheel
I know it wasn't a lot of rats on the board, but I guess I did just fine. Surprisingly, I found Squeel and the Rat Ogres to be worth every point. I had only put them in because they were converted and painted. It was really nice having the Bell with the Stormvermin, people either ignored them or focused on them, really no in between. They were able to take a beating, and dish it out too. Missions were objective based, and not only were they able to hold them but the footprint was nice to push other units out of 3/6 inches. I didn't find I rolled much worthwhile on the Bell, but taking all Plague spells on the GS worked great to buff/debuff.
Gutter Runners, my Vermin Lord did I love them. Ran all over the board, causing hijinx and panic. Left a Terrorgeist with 1 wound left on the first turn (last game).
HPA's were HPA's. While I don't feel they did tons of damage, they sure were resilient and tied up other units. Surprisingly my Doomwheel did a lot of heavy lifting the first game, in games after that it was mostly attention bait.
I had a great time, I can't wait to play again.
