Excellent! A flak tower style emplacement is a great use of a tin. And the little firebase looks quite cool.

thank you.
here's a doomflayer on a 20 mm x 40 mm mdf base.
this one's resin and was a birthday present, some years ago, from a friend. the same one who also got me the forgeworld wolf-rats, so a generous friend.
i'm not keen on working with resin, and manage to snap the feet off the slave while removing the tab (which is supposed to be removed). they were a bit of a pain to stick back on, but i think i managed to get them in roughly the correct positions and they look okay.
here it is alongside the metal version i already had painted up (before i started posting my progress online).
i retrospect i should have given the operator a weapon swap.

the second batch of kroot hounds and the second grave marker.
two of each hound sculpt has an interchangeable front leg and the other two an interchangeable back leg. i swapped these compared to the first batch for variety.
i also decided i'd swap their heads too, which was simple enough. then i removed some of the baggage they had attached to their harnesses. i'd have done this with the first batch had i paid more attention to the sculpts before undercoating.
here's the pack to date. i wouldn't mind a few more, but gw have changed the design now and i'm not convinced the new ones match these.

thanks again.
been working on this.
which i've had sitting around since 2003, when i got the bulk of my second iteration skaven models.
the housemate of one of my roleplaying group had graduated and moved out of the uk, deciding it wasn't worth taking his wfb collection with him.
i'm pleased with the paintjob, but it remains a ridiculous construct for a species that lives in tunnels.

thanks both.
a couple of barricades and a trio of ammo. crates from ttcombat's sci-fi gothic road accessories set.
barricades painted to match the ones i already have, whilst the crates have been coloured differently to provide additional variety.

a doomrocket battery, from the hhg ratman kamikaze rocket teams i picked up from rpe not so long ago.
i got four teams. you've already seen the guards painted up to be distributed between clanrat units. the other three fusiliers will go to crew my mortars.
i'd quite like a spotter too. the new warplock engineer with telescope from the aos set will do if i can find one for a price i'm willing to pay, or possibly if it becomes generally available on its own when the skaven get a general release.
i think doomrockets first appeared in whb8, but their rules (random range but no roll to hit) seem a good fit for these crewed (and possibly crude) missiles .

the rules are wfb 8th edition, the figures are early '90s and not citadel, so more contemporaneous with the hobgoblin and nippon rocket launchers. however, since these are effectively guided missiles, i think the doomrocket rules are a better fit.
the second half of ttcombat's sci-fi gothic road accessories set:
more lamp posts and another barrel.
real life put the brakes on getting these finished in good time, but they took very little effort.

another day, another doomwheel.
just a couple of alterations to make this slightly distinct from the first.
i added a plastic deamonic imp rat ...
... and repositioned the pistol arm.
although i also went back and added a daemonic imp rat to the the first one.

some more slaves for clan renj.
the erin version of alternia from alternative armies on the left and then four eureka miniatures amazons. hoplites, i think.
the amazons come in two pieces. the shield is attached to the left hand and wrist, which has a socket to attach to the forearm.
i didn't know this when i ordered them and was intending to use the normal shields seen throughout my skaven horde. i have another pack, possibly peltasts, with creswcent shields, which i probably will try and replace, but it's going to be a pain.
they didn't come with weapons, and so have north star wire spears.

another batch of slaves.
these are the last of the lancashire games early german fanatics, in three cases with north star wire spears. they all have the traditional mix of sheilds i've used extensively for clan renj.
they've all had head swaps, the one with the pony tail is from another figure in this pack (which i'd already done sometime in the past). the others are from the frostgrave barbarians sprue.

some giant rats have crept in before the end of skavetember.
the two largest are 3d printed resin from irongate scenery. the three smallest are citadel plastic. the medium sized one is metal and probably also citadel, but possibly black tree design.
i now need some more packmasters. i wonder if oakbound studio is planning to sculpt and release any more gnawlocks.

i had high hopes for orctober, but they were dashed by real life.
i have finally managed to finish the first part of the intended project.
the tractor unit for my space ork caravan.
it's an mdf and grey board traction engine from sarissaq precision, and proved a bit of a pain to put together. the wheels in particular where not sturdy enough.
here it is with an ork for scale.
