I used to play Eshin during the storm of chaos campaign, and thus have a couple of old battered nightrunners and converted gutter runners and such, but I also had some skryre troops lying around and thought about getting back to skaven, and with a new book I hope they're still going to be random and fun.
I went and bought myself a battalion to add to my Skryre force who hire Eshin troops... And I pretty much started to hate the little buggers when I glued together my first clanrat unit... I REALLY HATE CLANRATS! They're annoying to assemble, I have to pose them correctly to line them up and the tails fall off all the time...
I began to think for a bit and looked at the plague monks in the box... And found some pictures of some 4th ed plastic skaven... And then it struck me... I'm going to turn plaguemonks into clanrats!
First I thought of just adding shields and removing all the sick stuff... But they still looked like plague monks to me... So I began to play around a bit with greenstuff to add armour and such, so this will be a pretty slow project, but I aim for getting about 75 of these rodents converted into clanrats in the end.
This is what I've come up with so far regarding my test model, I don't think I'm really finished with him but I'll get there, and I'll try to get better focused pictures in the future.
I feel like adding plates going down from the belt protecting the legs slightly, and perhaps some sort of shoulder guard, but I also need to try and get the back-plates smoother and flatter.
