Plague censer bearers (II)

This is the first post of the revamped project of the skavens.

I have decided to start painting them in the same way I did four years ago with the first skavens I ever painted.
I have painted another four in the same style as the original ones, with a single highlight and the same colour scheme.
Let's try to keep up the momentum.

Expanding the Skaven Army

Having completed my year goals it is time to go for extra milestones!

In an earlier post I shared my plans to extend my Skaven Army to be able to field a 4,500 points The Ninth Age Vermin Swarm Army.
Originally, I planned on buying the following miniatures:
  • 10 Clanrats
  • 10 Vermin Guard
  • Tyrant on Monstrous Rat
  • One Dreadmill
  • One Lightning Cannon
  • 13 + 16 Gutter Runners (to be used also for Footpads)
  • Two Plague Censer Bearers
After some eBay madness as well as some visits to my dear The Oldhammer Trading Company Facebook Group, I managed to acquire the following:
  • 10 Plastic Clanrats
  • 9 Classic Stormvermin
  • 8 Classic Gutter Runners
  • 4 Plague Censer Bearers
  • 1 Classic Doomwheel
  • 1 new Tyrant on Monstrous Rat from ForgeWorld
  • 1 Classic Boneripper (Thanquol's Rat Ogre)
  • 1 new Plastic Warp-Lightning Cannon
And a few extras that I have put on my sale page.

That is basically everything I wanted to get, even a little extra, save for the Gutter Runners for which I should get a few more. In any case, for now, I have decided to leave it as is and will start painting them right away.
At the same time I decided to add bases for all of my warmachines, that includes the already painted Doomwheel and Screaming Bell.

Here are some pics of the individual units.











I really hope to be able to paint them in the next couple of months!
