Doomwheel (II)

This is the second Doomwheel for the army, having painted the first one back in November 2015.

I followed more or less the same technique, with the main difference that this time I placed it on a base, as I am basing all of my warmachines to make them fit properly with T9A rules.

A I now have way too many warmachines and too big, I needed to build up a new case for the bigger miniatures, therefore, I did not magnetize all the components as before, just the pilot, to make it easier to transport and assemble it before the battle.

I bought this one second hand and unfortunately it was missing the pole for the standard, after thinking hard whether I should build one myself, I decided not to so that I can easily differentiate it from the other one.

On top of that, I painted it mostly with greens rather than with reds, that way, it stands out on its own.

Just two figures left to go for the last of the skaven reinforcements!

Painted in 2019.

Stormvermin (III)

Here are another eight Stormvermin to add to the existing unit.
With these little guys I have finished all the rats I needed to paint, I am starting now with the warmachines and will top it up with the Hero. Still a few weeks left for October so I might make it within my self-imposed schedule.

Gutter Runners (III)

Here is another wave of painted rats, the gutter runners in this case.

I already have a bunch of them painted, and the painting guidelines that I included there came in quite handy as I managed to get practically the same result.

I painted eight of them in roughly 3 hours, as most of the figure is just black with some edge highlight. I am quite satisfied with the speed for now.

I am tackling right now the Stormvermin.

Clanrats (V)

I continue on a good pace to paint the rat reinforcements!

Here are 10 clanrats, not much to say about them aside from the fact that they are done and it took me roughly 4 hours for all of them. It seems that my efforts on painting faster this year are paying off.

Boneripper

Back in 2016 I painted Thanquol, but his Rat Ogre was missing.

It does not really fit well into the rest of the unit, but I might pass him as a champion.

In any case, I got him as part of a bigger package of miniatures I wanted to get so I did not hesitate. I have now 5 Rat Ogres, which should be more than enough for most games.

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!
