Hi folks,

Just thought I'd share a small project I recently completed. I've always wanted a Pied Piper to act as my Skaven Battle Standard Bearer, and the Malifaux 'Avatar of Contagion' was the perfect model for this
Good fun to paint.

Interesting take on a Skaven BSB. It fits surprisingly well, for a human. Your freehand work is pretty admirable, too.

This is a really well executed idea and looks lovely as well. Nice touch with the rats at the base of the banner.

Great idea! Lovely execution thanks for sharing

Brilliant idea! Well executed as well. Cheers.

Thanks folks!

When I have some time I'll post an army pic with everything ranked up (don't actually have a heck of a lot of Skaven done yet).
I just thought it was something a bit different, which is always good. He looks mad enough to be leading a load of Skaven forward through a town.
By happy chance all my models so far have green stuff/cork cobblestone bases so it fits nicely!

Really nice work, Niall. The base work is very well done, and it took me a moment to figure out exactly how you fit it on the display base. It's also worth mentioning that the height of the piece is really a big component to making this work. Would love to see the BSB ranked-up in a block of Skaven for the full effect.

Love it! So simple, yet brilliant.

Hey there, here you go - not a great pic but you get the general idea
I'm actually due a big shot of the army soon so will need to sort it out. Although I've only got about 1000 points of models done haha (although that's actually about 100+ models haha)

Awesome job with much attention to essential details. Really great paint with amazing atmosphere. Superb. And in the unit it looks simply fantastic .

Bloody fantastic. I think you just inspired me to get back into the hobby

Haha cheers - and great news of it serves to inspire anyone.
In all honesty I'm surprised I haven't seen other people do it before, it was just begging to be done! My painting is OK but I know there are freehanders out there who could do an incredible banner with a similar theme.

This is a great idea.
A perfect fit.

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome idea and great painting. PERSONALLY, I do not like having large rocks or terrain in a moving regiment, just looks weird. Might have been cool to have him standing on a giant pillar of rat swarms, but he is very well done as is. Congrats!

It looks awesome, but I'm more impressed with the idea itself!
