Run-Run! Red`s Skaven team

[Red Skullz]

After getting a couple of new players into BB and it`s been quite a few years we haven`t played that much inspiration hit me hard the other day so I went ahead and scrambled through my bitz boxes. I`ve made quite a few teams over the years, I only kept a few of them while selling or giving away the rest. One team that I`ve always wanted was Skaven but there was always something that came in the way of me getting one. This will be the third Skaven team I make but this one is mine to keep

With that said, WiP pics. Only lack tails before I start greenstuffing.

Linerats (linemen):

In a skaven team these are your expendables but I just had to include that fat rat in with the linerats, so he`s a keeper My fav figure in the team so far! Other than that I`m searching to see if I have a few more open hands and stuff like that to move away from the gobbo parts a bit more. It`s not critical but it would break up the monotony.

Running rats (gutter runners):

Ghoul legs and arms, goblin torso, pistolier cloaks and stormvermin head. I like them a lot! Overall I try not to scalecreep to hard and have made everyone smaller cause skaven are small. But with the runners I couldn`t do that without messing up the flimsy legs of the ghouls. However they are stick thin so strength 2 is still valid I would say.

Throwing rats (throwers):

This is a new one for me. I usually never bother with having more than one thrower, but I`ve advanced my strategies (I think-think)

Blitzing rats (storm vermin):

Storm vermin upper body but to scale them down I used some old skaven and gobbo legs. They look cool with all of the spiky punchgloves thingies.

Unique rats (Rat Ogre & Fezglitch):

Yes do name the parts of the Rat Ogre, I dare-dare you! The Fezglitch mini is just so nice I had to add it. Note it`s not the stock Fezglitch mini!

Have no idea what parts make up the Rat Ogre, but it reminds me of this character.



This is my strong hand...

Suspect its just the angle of the picture that makes me think like that. Otherwise that's some good work

[Red Skullz]

Haha, funny in a way but not correct

PS: finally got to implement that emoticon without being rude

[AllyRdr]

Body looks like the old warhammer chaos minotaur hero with 2 hand weapons.

[AllyRdr]

In fact ignore that, it's not the mini I was thinking of.

Haven't got a clue.

[Red Skullz]

You are very close. It`s the old metal minotaur standard bearer body

Every skaven team needs a fat rat!

Looking good so far, although it's a bit tricky to make out details. Which makes it even more important you share some painted pics asap!

[Red Skullz]

Indeed! I have to admit I took the idea from you when I saw how well it worked

I`ll post up some individual shots later tonight. Got some greenstuff shots good to go soon.

Been a few days but here`s an update. I was inspired by the spikyness of the artwork in the rulebook.

Linerats:

You can`t see it but I`ve furred up the arms on the smaller linerats.

Throwing rats:

I wanted a few mutations. Hopefully I`ll get doubles so that I can play wysiwyg.

Blitzing rats:

Spikes on every surface I found.

Running rats:

Nothing special but one of these got a big hand.

Rat ogre:

Takes time taking it in turns but I think I`m on the right path with this one.

You are doing an amazing job, I'd like how the Rat ogre is coming together. I also like all the mutations you have included, they give the team a little disgusting but cool style.

[Red Skullz]

Thank you Yeah I felt a sprinkling of mutations would fit the team well. Now I just need to figure out the colour scheme
