Alright Kiddos, I'm wanting to convert up a Skryre-brand Plague Furnace, and that means I need some rats to push it... Being that my theme is Skryre, I need to convert some Plague Monks... Already got myself some Micro Art Studio Heads, now I just need to know how to go about doing it. What are your ideas? Plague Monk with Gas Mask head? A little plain... Psycho-Engineer Enhanced Clanrats/Slaves? I like the idea, but how do we execute it? I'm looking for some model/bitz inspiration here, fellow Engineers! Help me out! |

wires, engine unit fillers, gas masks, engined weapons, skryre-isch editions.......... i think if you keep it on plain things like this it would be good skryre ish, if you think to far, it'l become hard or spoiled......... |
FOR THE GLORY OF THE HORNED RAT OF COURSE!

One idea could be to theme the Furnace as a giant Poisoned wind globe constantly spewing out gas, hence have all the Plague Monks with gas masks. Some of the (less destructive) gases of the giant globe could filter through the gas masks and drive the pushers to a rabid frenzy. For psycho-engineered Clanrat/slaves start basically as WillQueek said by wires and that and placing them on the Furnace pushers as well as any extra body part replacements. I'm afraid I can't think on many examples where you can get said body parts (with the exception of the odd 40K bionic bitz.) As for having the rats maddened perhaps you could try a paint scheme for showing this, i.e foaming around the mouth. Hope this helped. |

Quiet, I'm plotting.

I themed my Skryre Plague Monks around the idea of them being 'mechanics'. The extra toughness comes from the extreme conditions they work in, while the frenzy is a byproduct of their environment. As for models, I decided to go with Plague Monk bodies, with Clanrat heads. Empire Knight arms holding hammers are their right arms, while their left is a clanrat arm with the hand chopped off and replaced with a large claw made of plasticard.![]()
