So.... I've sculpted a skaven gutterrunner as a prototype for a skaven team, and I'm going for a more evil, sneaky look on the rats since I find the avaliable models not quite as evil as I want them.
What do you say? Is this a look you'd go for or is it not "skaven" enough?

Re: Skaven
Really nice mini, and certainly a different and more 'evil' look than other manufacturers. A team of these will look amazing!
Only criticism is the proportion of the head seems a little off. Maybe just the pictures though?

Re: Skaven
Interesting figure, great looking and different concept. I'd make the head smaller and just bulk out the arm musculature a touch (a bit skeletal for my taste). Looking forward to seeing the next sculpts!

Sorry, more giant rat and not enough rat-man for me.

Re: Skaven
Awesome sculpt. I love how vicious it is. I like the on all 4's sprinting as well. Very Fun!

Re: Skaven
I like the sculpt (couldn't achieve that myself) but have a couple criticisms: (1) there's nothing sculpted on the figure to represent it as a Blood Bowl player. No helmet or protective gear. Nothing that says this figure is playing a sports game. (2) between the bandages, the torn clothing and the skinny nature of the figure, it almost looks like an *undead* rat-man. Not saying that's a bad thing, just an observation.
You've definitely got the skills, though, so don't let my 2 cents stop you from sculpting the rest of the team!

Re: Skaven
Awesome - I have rats but id prob buy a set..... But..... as per previous comments need some bloodbowl gear.
Im also not a fan of figures that extend beyond the range of the base - hard to fit them all on pitch especially when prone. I dont mind a couple here and there but a whole squad like this would put doubts in my mind.
