Vows updated! ~ Scar Trevor - Yes, count a further 5 vvp's for your Grey Seer on the Bell. I've added that into your vows for you, so you don't need to bother. ![]() I've got all of my sentinels weapons magnetised now. Was a total nightmare, as my superglue had virtualy dried out and was a sort of thick gloop. Plus I had no non-metal tools to work with, so had to improvise with a pencil. :rolleyes: |

I know it's probably bad form to intrude on somebody else's vows, but I'm going to be doing a Screaming Bell myself in the next few months, so I thought I would ask: shouldn't Trevor be getting credit for the Rat Ogre crewman as well? |

You know I thought to ask, but I assumed that since the Rat Ogre was the 'crew', it was counted into the machine. I didn't want to take advantage of the system. Something I found to help with the Magnets is if you have access to an old-timey hobby/craft store, where they have tools made out of bone. The nice thing about these is that they do not stick as you know, like metal tools. Or plastic tools will work as well. And I wanted to appologize, I know there is not alot of painting going on in my painting vows...but you gotta crawl before you can run eh? |

Vows updated! ~ Scar Olorin - I suppose we could add the rat ogre to the Screaming Bell. So we could make the Screaming Bell worth another 5vvps. So it should be worth 20vvvps for painting to count for the Seer and rat ogre! Trevor - You don't have to appologise for not getting stuff done. The vows are only here to motivate you! Your getting a lot done anyway! |

Not to be stepping on toes, but I find myself inclined to disagree. To keep with the spirit, we would have to add in crew members, such as the 3 monks that toll the furnace of the plague furnace, or the warlock engineer that pilots the doom wheel. Not to be a prude, but it seems that such things blow it out of proportion. I honestly think that my Ogre is part of the Crew, as the monks are crew of the furnace, or the warlock is crew of the Doomwheel, hence a part of the model in hole. The only exception being the seer/priest of the bell/furnace, ect. |

I suppose that is true Trevor, its just that these new models for the Bell and the furnace are so large in comparison to their former incarnations. So in some way they are much less value for vvp compared to the old ones. I suppose you are right though. Plus it would be much easier just to keep it as a simple 10vvp model for the Bell and 5vvp for the Seer on top. I guess we do have the very easy to assemble and paint giant rats, which could counter that slow rate of earning vvp's..... Ok we will keep it like that! So include that change in your next update please!

Kept meaning to post my vows, finally getting around to it. It's high, but I'm trying to get my Skaven army built up for a couple of tournaments in February, so speed is of the essence. Tarendal - (Pigmental) Assemble; 12 Rat Ogres IoB(24 vvps) - Completed! 40 Plague Monks (40 vvps) - 1/40 40 Clanrats/Slaves IoB(40 vvps) - 20/40 Paint; 40 Plague Monks (80 vvps) - 2/80 68 Clanrats/Slaves IoB(136 vvps) - 96/136 Base; 40 Plague Monks (40 vvps) - 0/40 48 Clanrats/Slaves IoB(48 vvps) - Completed! Total vvps = 400 POINTS Total completed vvps = 191 POINTS
Sorry the update's late, been working on a couple of battle reports. Below are a couple of pictures, one of my plague monk (first of the lot, still working on the rest), my rat ogres, and my clanrats (one on the left was previously done, the other two units done January). Fell short, but it was a high goal. Just got to keep at it. ![]()

Well had my first game last night, and lost. Was a 4000pt game, 2 Skaven Players going against a 3-way Lizardman/Dwarves/Romans (from Historical Warhammer, we let him play it as it is the only army he has). All in all, was a few tactical errors on my part. They had the special character lizard on the t-rex with sarus cav and skinks with blowpipes, warmachines and gunners from the Dwarves, and Cavalry/Veterans from the Romans. Highlight of the game was my partnerts Hellpit Abomination. First round, took a cannonball to the face and died, only to roll a Six and stand up with all of its wounds. Second round took another cannonball, again stood up with all its wounds. All in all, for my first game, I think I would have preferred a one-on-one battle, as this one we kinda new we were facing elite elements from our opponents rather than an actual army, so it kinda sucked. I have a second game in 2 weeks against Undead. A one-on-one battle at 2k points, so that should be fun. Should have some more painting done by then too! |

Painting Vows - Update OLORIN THE ANCIENT - (Pigmental) Assemble; 109 Clanrats (109 vvps) - Completed! 4 Weapon teams (8 vvps) - Completed! 4 Rat Ogres (8 vvps) - Completed! 7 Characters (7 vvps) - Completed! Conversion/Greenstuff; 2 Rat Ogres (2 vvps) - Completed!

The bookshelves came crashing down onto a tray which contained both my primed models and one of those excellent square containers of Testor's Plastic Cement, which promptly broke, smashing over some of the minis. It's amazing that as many of the figures survived as did, but everything's still a mess, and the shelves are not back up. So I decided to assemble my second box of IOB Skaven, plus some additional clanrats: hence the revised vows. The painting itself will have to remain unfulfilled until next month.
