Manic's Slow Skaven Project

when I was younger, despite what I think my gateway games were being Heroquest and Battle Masters (and space crusade and Space Hulk), none of which had Skaven (I didn't have Advanced Heroquest), I was for some reason drawn to them as the only army I really collected. While I think I wanna get a couple of armies done up in the end, Skaven are kinda my first army and the ones I really want to get done ^_^

latest 3 stormvermin gotten from @Macmod1
I think I haven't got photos of my all Stormvermin yet but I now have 18 out of 20. I do kinda have some models which could complete it but need some work and I'm not quite sure but that's fine.

My Stormvermin have a regimential like nature with all of them wearing Red hats/helmets/whatever you call them things and a light blue area with a S in white. Thie middle one does have this S badge but it's on the shoulder you can't see ^_^;

Had tiny prolem with the first one which is why the left foot is a bit raised.. but it's fine.
 
Might still do a couple of tweaks but finally pretty happy with this:

since this image, I have added a bit of silver on the studs on the purple hood. the helmet is staying red cause when you paint that kinda thing, you paint the bolts ^_^

this puts my Stormvermin regiment up to 19 out of 20

Another case of photo doesn't look quite as good as real life cause of zoom in but Lord Skrolk of Clan Pestilens. I had this figure as a kid and the paint job was awful. barely even a paint job. So stripped it and redid. annoyingly, looks like I need to touch up a couple of bits, so I might do that, but otherwise, this is far better then my old one.

The book image isn't really as bad as I expected, though not fantastic cause... who can paint that small? I think the studio version they cheat with a paste job but I guess some can paint that well and that small ^_^; I was tempted to just do up a picture and past it on cause you wouldn't really be able to tell if I got it as a high enough DPI but.. didn't wanna do that.. Wanted to atleast give it a damn good go.

The Base really annoys me though. I wanted to give it something special, as he is a special character, and I thought as a plague monk, go for a plaguey base.. couldn't figure out how to do that one a 20mm base when soo much was covered by the figure. So I just used a tea and flock mix for some dirt ground. fair enough cause you don't want a base that outshines the figure.
