Totally rad
What about a normal skaven army, but swap around the clans? Clan moulder provides burrowing teams (Warp-Grinders) and a big ball-like creature (Doom-wheel), clan eshin provide blow-pipe armed skaven (Jezzails) while Skryre provides a giant warpstone robot (abomination)...

Im really not looking to do any more Skaven armies, as I already own 6k of them, but that idea is very unique, Skittar. I may try a unit of 2 like that for my existing army :)

@ onions: well, Skaven is already steam punk really... I was considering mixing the Steampunk and desert raiders ideas to make a wierd kind of force, but inspiration isnt with me here...

@ Vinz: Yeh, thats actually a real good idea. Lots of Shoota boys and stuff. That would look kinda cool... Probably would be best to use Catachan models or something as orks for such an army...
Or even Steampunk WW2 Russians... :P

Hmm how about :

* A Witch Hunter Empire?
* Santa's little Helpers Elfs?
* Lumberjack Orcs?
* Pirate Goblins?

Just naming a few...

Oooooh idea!

'Foul parrody of man' Skaven army, based rather strongly on Empire style. Like the Clanrats would be wearing tattered remains of State Troops uniforms, with both spear and sword blocks. Slaves would be more Free Company like. Stormvermin would be equiped with Halberds only and have a Greatsword motif to them. WLC would be converted off a Great Cannon. Giant Rats would be used in a similar manner to detatchments...

The idea hasnt been properly thought out yet, as it just came to me last night. I think having uniformed (or as uniformed as you can get, being a Skaven) clanrats would look quite cool... Plus with the new Skaven book out Im all into them again :D
However, I do already have 6k of Skaven, plus an Empire army, so Im not sure how long-term motivation would go... Id like to be able to work on this project for at least 6 months, as I plan to take part in that painting league in the P&H subforum...
