once apon a time (about a week ago) i finally finished painting my first skaven unit, clanrats with spears and shields. but my aim was to use them for rotten rodents so i reread the rules and found that they couldnt use spears or shields and had to do the long and sad process of rippping of all the arms and legs of the clanrats and converting every one!
pictures are coming soon.. :angry: :( :angry: :(
any coments?

You could have, err, kept them as clanrats. You are going to need clanrats one day, anyway.

I agree with Scriv.

I did a similar thing, once. I gave the unit spears when I was just ging to give them H/W. All I dead was chop off the Spear shafts and glue the blades to the hands.

Yeha I got a unit of Commandos that i'm converting for my Aethra game. Before I opened the box I was like "Hey this'll be easy! Their Humans after all!" The I opened the box and saw that they come in about 6 pieces. The arms are a hughe problem because you have to have both holding the weapon in most cases, but the weapon is separate and the arm that your supposed to put it againced already has the butt and handel modled in, so you have to carfully chop up the teeny rifles!

I got through five and haven't had the hart to do the rest yet <_<

I nearly cried when I had to take off the arms to my old chaos nights because the ones in 5th ed had lances which are no longer useable(darn you GW!!!). Theysorta kinda almost look decently normal right now but it was hard on my heart to hurt the poor things after all we had been through :(

if only chaos knights still had lances.... S7 on the charge... makes tomb kings cry.... along with every army....

I have never made a mistake like that though, I have yet to have to rip off the arms (for an entire unit)

i too am yet to have too remove the arms from an entire unit although i have converted several clanrats with spears to nightrunners with two hand weapons simply by cuttin away the shafts and gluing swords and daggers in their stead.

true but everything in the bubonic court list suffered from frenzy and ended up being dragged into combat exposing their flanks. the rodents could stop that,
plus they are the only unit with armour( even if it is a crappy +6!)

i have now completed 10 of em and had to convert every single one :(

In my opinion 6+ as is a waste of time id rather just have none as the amount of times youll make 6+is very slim and alot of foes will negate your armour any way.

give me plague monks anyday.
