Today I picked up a Warhammer Island of Blood starter set. Smell of freshly-opened box should keep me high for a couple of days .

Nothing says better "I hate you!" than a pile of giant disease-ridden vermin ready to devour any enemy . I glued 40 clanrats to bases and snapped on their weapons. Next step is to clean up mold lines and spray primer.

As for the new stuff...

With Golum's voice, while holding a new box of Warhammer figurines "My only, my precioussssss."

And that is the reason I must stay away from even thinking of buying new shiny boxes in a hobby store.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383283/3078560.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383283/3078560.page GMT Re:Ravin' Skaven .

Cool thing is that on top of the above-mentioned list, it came with 20 plague monks, Skaven codex (now I have 2), Deathmaster Snikch, and Warlord Spinetail (still in blister).

The best part is that Screaming Bell is in the box and has all the pieces present (as was mentioned in the description).

Several sprues of bitz were also included.

Plus all the stuff that came in the Island of Blood and vehicles that are still on sprues. Gotta put them together since that is the main reason I picked Skaven.

Not planning to paint them any time soon. Working on space marines.

I honestly thought about that. Skaven who happen to live under a place where all kind of fun stuff gets dumped. Pink, yellow, green, red and blue fluorescent acrylic rods would work well. Idea is still in my head, so don't give up hope .

Picked up the steel trays and mag bases from a local guy. Ordered them on Sat. and he was done on Sun. Here is his website Shogun Miniatures. He also cuts custom sizes. Very good prices too

Every model for themselves.


Was working on the 200 rats I got. Since they were designed for slotted bases, I had to do a lot of cutting and trimming in order to make them compatible with flat surfaces of the mag bases.

This is still my experimental army. But with 300 slaves, even if I lose, I will succeed in creating WTF effect.

Another idea is to wear "300" t-shirt and yell this is Skaven.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383283/3162460.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383283/3162460.page GMT Ravin' Skaven http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383283/3162839.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/383283/3162839.page GMT Ravin' Skaven

I calculated if I can do 50 per week, it should take me under 2 months to complete all of the rats.


Tested out the army today and liked it.

Look what a cat dragged in (pun intended). I am thinking about combining parts from the plague furnace to make something more fun.

I decided that 5 arms are better than 3. I love that the thing comes with several arm options. I ended up trimming and cutting robotic arm to be fit onto the top right side. An arm with the warpstone ball (courtesy of the plague furnace) was made from 2 different arms. I used an arm with the small ball which I cut off and attached a hand from the bottom arm. 5th arm was places instead of a rat head. I used the bottom left arm that didn't have hand anymore and fitted a warpstone spike that was an option for a jaw. For the tubes I used grass trimmer line. Now I need to add putty here and there and use green stuff to sculpt transitions.

Got more ideas over the time that I wasn't doing any projects.

Decided to go back to my abomination. For some reason, I thought that I didn't want the rat heads sticking out everywhere, so there will be only one head. Due to the above, the space above the head opened up so I decided to stick a plastic piece on it with intention to put rivets on it and have it as a metal plate to support a warlock who will be riding on top. Also, I glued all of the tubes. Used green stuff to sculpt flesh and muscles where needed. I kept having second thoughts about the wheel in the middle of the creature,so I decided to get rid of it. To fill in the space, I cut and glued packaging insert which will have green stuff going over it.
