I've taken up Fantasy again. I say 'again'. I only ever played two broken games about two editions ago. But it's a technicality.
Ever since I last played I told myself that if I ever do Fantasy again, it'll be Skaven.
Started by a friend splitting Island of Blood with me. Then I bought another Skaven set of IoB off eBay. Then split another set with another guy.
Still being stuck for any biggies and a real codex at this point.
Then I was playing some Modern Combat (Great little Skirmish game set in modern day Afghanistan. Ambush Alley if you're interested) at the local shop and I ask how much that Doomwheel is in the display case. Turns out it's the dude downstairs (who I'm playing the Modern Combat with) that owns it. Dude says he just wants plastic cost. Then he tells me he's got a half finished Abomination and a few Skaven bits and an 'old Skaven book'. He had a go at painting them but was never in to the game, and lost interest since taking up the Modern Combat stuff.
So he brings them in. Says "There's that book. Bungie gave it me." And I'm like "Holy Bollocks dude, this is the -new- army book!" And he's all "Nooohhh. Why'd he give it me then?" And then I'm all "How much? How much?" And he's all "Thirty quid. For everything. Not too fussed about the doomwheel." And I'm all like, Yoink!
So anyway, here are a few pictures of what I've got painted so far. It's not my best stuff, but I've managed to get all this done over the last few weeks:
The army as a whole. Don't mind Marvin. He's just depressed because he's not included in the picture.
Rat Ogres so far. I had a metal lying around before the IoBs. I've GSed some of them to make them different.
Clanrats. All very samey but these were machined off the painting line. Still took me eight hours to do a unit. Happy with how the home-made movement trays turned out though.
Credits to Paul for these paint jobs. I did the Abomination engine, mouth, stone and wash.
Home made ratswarms. A few plague monk rats thrown together, latexed and stonecast. Right down to Foamboard bases because I had no more 40mils. Could be better. -Couldn't- be cheaper.
Laughable attempt at home made Globadiers. I've ordered some Space Rat Veer-Myn. If they're good enough, they'll wholly replace these.
I realise the faults. Washes > Inks. But I justify using Inks on that it makes them look slimy. The truth being that it was just to avoid buying more wash.
