Hello

I have been playing skaven for about 13 years and I have a fairly large all metal army. I love seeing other people's work on this site, so I thought i should post a few pics. I have to apologize due to the fact that I suck with a digital camera. I don't think that the pics really capture the look of my minis.

Here is a few pics for now
i can try to post more if any one is interested

Do you get some kind of perveted pleasure out of making me feel terrible about my own painting? :(

Only kidding, really nice models. I love the skin tone!

Sweet, I like seeing classic miniatures. I like your colours too. The clothes look quite realistic.

Hmm... 13 years. How many times have you re-painted your army? Many people change colours after couple of years already. And I've noticed battle damage on my metallic rats.

*grins* I love 'em. The pwg's and pcb's are my favourites though.

And yes, maybe you should show more?

man I love those old clanrat metal figures. Your white eyes look luminous and evil.

Great work.... I'd love to see more.

Thanks for the comments

I love the classic skaven too. I have 3 big units of clan rats and 2 units of slaves of all classic old skaven. Also, I have repainted my army a few times over the years.



I going to be moving this weekend so it will take me a little bit of time to get some more pics but I will put some more up (hopefully I can learn how to use the camera a bit better). I just found one more pic of one of my wft so i will post that.


I also have a large collection of pics of other people's skaven stuff. I could post that but i dont have the owners names to give credit.

I am big fan of your stuff and i think you are really creative. I would love to hear about your army (description or pics). By the way, i have been working on a plague lord conversion similar to yours for month now but you beat me to it. I originally was going to use the old screaming bell base but i decided to use the old nurgle palanquin (http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=Individual&code=9911010210400&orignav=301116). I am going to use the Palanquin Champion With Sceptre as the basis for my plague lord.

My army (not the biggest but it is all metal)

25 Storm vermin
32 Clanrats spears
30 Clanrats hw

All very nice models and paintjobs :D , but i do have to say... Is it fate that has brought you here in your 13th year of collecting skaven, or just coincidence... you may decide.

A wee bit of advice for uploading pics, some of them have grey borders down the bottom this is due to the uploading being stopped by another action, make sure you leave the pics to upload until it says it has fully done so.

I am not here to be nice.
Really, really nice! ^_^ I like the clothes colours but everything together might look a little bit too grey. ;)
We are living on this world on rented time and now we can't pay the rent
We have thrown out our garbage into the corridor and we have clogged the toilet
We have annoyed the neighbors and we have pissed off the landlord
We have stolen all the wares from the nature and we have poisoned our veins with greed
We have powered our hearts with a false promise that we aren't so bad and we have told ourself that everything happens for reason
We say that we will be forgiven and that all we do will ok when we die
We do not deserve to be spared and we deserve to burn
For the anquish we have caused this world
We deserve to burn

I was going to say that...

Those are awesome models, especially the PCB's and the Gutter Runner...
