As you might recall, I've been preparing to make a Skaven army. I've always liked the rugged and crude look of the Skaven, their industrial and slightly steampunk-ish inspiration, and especially some of the large models, so I bought the Island of Blood with my friend, taking the Skaven part... And I soon realized that I was in over my head. I had always been thinking "Oh, but I love the Skaven models!", but now, seeing fething 40 Clanrats, I realized that what I meant by "Skaven models" was "Doomwheel" or "Screaming Bell", and not all these... These freaking rats.

So, yeah. I can most likely sell my models to the two other Skaven players in my area, but the question is if I really should. I mean, right now it seems daunting as hell to paint all these rats, but maybe it's just a hurdle I have to overcome. I've never tried to play Skaven, so I won't know if I actually like it, but maybe it comes with experience, or with age or whatever...

I know I love hitty forces that haven't got too many tricks, but win by a combination of power, tactics and outmanuevering, cutting of any enemy that could do damage and force the enemy to play on my terms, which, to me at least, doesn't sound much like Skaven, but more like Ogre Kingdoms, and their models are by far some of the better ones (Stonehorn? More like "I'm gone... In this model.". 'Cause it's awesome. Gettit?)

What is your experience with stuff like this? Is it better to keep painting and see where it leads me, or should I shift immediatly? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7596105.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7596105.page GMT Skaven or Ogre Kingdoms http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7596128.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7596128.page GMT Skaven or Ogre Kingdoms
Yeah, there's a lot of Skaven, but when it comes to clanrats you should be able to get it down to only a few minutes per model. I'd probably be aiming to complete a regiment of 40 in a single Saturday

But still if you find all that too daunting, Ogres are an alright option.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7596238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7596238.page GMT Re:Skaven or Ogre Kingdoms
If you want to play 9th edition, and like Ogres in their current form, I suggest you don't start them now. OK will change pretty drastically.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7597928.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7597928.page GMT Re:Skaven or Ogre Kingdoms

My gaming group has decided to not touch End Times, or whatever comes after, with a ten feet pole, so I'm safe for the time being. Besides, while WoC looks cool, they're not Ogre Kingdoms...

I am looking forward to the rat ogres and the cannons next. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7598239.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7598239.page GMT Skaven or Ogre Kingdoms
Over the years, I have just over 600 skaven finished (only 350 are clanrats/slaves), and I've found taking a break now and then is a good cure.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7599867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7599867.page GMT Skaven or Ogre Kingdoms
Drop the skagen and get the army you like the looks of the most.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7600435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/635911/7600435.page GMT Re:Skaven or Ogre Kingdoms BSB, for 60 quid. Oh yeah. Got me 2 more Mournfangs, 4 Leadbelchers, 2 Gorgers, a Butcher/Slaughtermaster and a few Bulls waiting for me for another 60...
