I decided to do the mandrake first, since he was already primed. He’s now going to be used in Warhammer Quest as a dark elf assassin.

The base hasn’t dried yet but it’s getting there. My camera hasn’t picked up the highlight on his robes. They’re actually really dark purple.

All I've done to them so far is spray them white and apply a coat of Nihilakh Oxide to everything that isn't supposed to be metal.All I've done to them so far is spray them white and apply a coat of Nihilakh Oxide to everything that isn't supposed to be metal.

My wights are ready to grace the battlefield.

The rusted metal was achieved using a coat of Typhus Corrosion over a layer of leadbelcher. I then drybrushed over it with Ryza Rust.

Staring the skaven

I’ve had another howk through the box and found some more Skaven. I also found some missing arms, which I reattached. I’ve cleaned them up a bit, because the guy I got them from didn’t bother his arse. And I’ve primed them, the guy I got them from just tried to paint on the bare plastic. And now I’m out of primer, there’s a trip to Halfords in my future. I did however make a base for them.

Staring the skaven

I say make, I mean textured a pre bought base, from Warbases. I mixed up a texture paint (filler, sand and paint) smeared it to the base. Let it dry and drybrushed it with Earth 72.062 from Vallejo game colour.  I then stuck a few grass tufts from Tajima1 miniatures. I’m going for a blasted wasteland look.

Right time to get painting.

So that’s half the Skaven I found done. I’m waiting the last wash to dry before I pry the bases off. And then they can glued onto the multibase I showed yesterday.

So I’ve finished the next batch. They just need their bases removed. I also painted up this guy to go in the unit since I was missing a couple.

A note on these guys. I got them in a trade, but the level of building on them confuses me. First they all had their mould lines removed, but some still had little spurs of sprue attached to them. Secondly none of the arms were glued on. Thirdly some have been glued into the bases with plastic glue whereas others were just shoved into the bases. I find the inconsistency confusing.A note on these guys. I got them in a trade, but the level of building on them confuses me.
