Very nice, I like the Poison Windys and the Giant Rats/spiders particually. I also like the Red colour scheme.

And for a sense of completness:
Clanrat Ratling Gun
and a unit of slaves

Pictures have already been posted on this site, but I want them all in one topic :)

I've got photos from other angles I can post if someone wishes to see more shots of a given unit.

Comments appreciated :)

Drat.
I knew it would be too beautiful to be true ;)

Something's wrong with this site - I'll simply add the pictures to my old album then.

The great painter, as always, delivers.

Great models, you should be proud to own them.

Be careful with the gloss...... it's making your rats extra - shiney, rather than grimey = )

sorry to burst your bubble but y are they soooo shiny? oh and you really shouldn't use ROs to fill out ranks... thats almost like cheating. and finaly you seem to have 4 packmasters with 17 (did you pic not show all of them?) giant rats.

i hate being an only negative critic but everyone else has said what i would say....

nice models, i like the dreadnaught!

but that first picture in your album called rog...uh... waht is it? is it a cenetar on a horse or a horse on a horse or what is it?

Very nice, dark and dirty with the skin as the main feature, just the way I like em.

Can I have more pics of the stormvermin, please? Looks to be a very interesting unit, and the front view alone doesnt do them justice.

Cheers,

Rat ogres as rank-fillers are a staple part of skaven armies for appearance purposes. At tournaments with a player-judged paint-scoring component, skaven armies just cant compete with the lists containing cavalry and monsters if they dont do something to increase the elevation of their units. Rat ogres in their midst is the best way to do this.

Plus it makes distinguishes the superior units (which have ROs) from the slaves (which do not have ROs), an important feature for those armies where the core troops all look the same to non-skaven players.

Dracko, you need to get out more ;)

Ah, yes, the varnish.
Basically I finished varnishing the minis just before going off to the tourney. I need to apply another layer of matt varnish to non metallic parts, and gloss to the metals.

Also - yes, there are 18 rats :)

Finally - rog means horn in Polish. I wanted to show my customer how I have done his Pegasus musician :)

It's actually a fourth page of the album - more skaven on the fifth one :)

mutate:
Not 4th... something has changed when I removed some pictures ;)
Cleaning done - all skaven on the first page. Link in the first post edited :)
