Skaven Army Completed
I needef to get some group shots to show off my forces I guess. I am unsure if I will commit to painting my Stormcast army. They are more attractive and interesting than the original Stormcast army, but I am not sure I love the minis enough to dedicate a lot of time to paint them. I might sell them, but perhaps they wouldn't make a lot of money.
Found a good sized box to keep it all.
The home stretch for the Skaven
As part of a 100 minis challenge I dug into the last of my Clan rats. Mostly just SpeedPaints over a dark brown prime and an off-white dry brush.
Plague Pack - Beyond the box
Fun Underworlds box to add to my force. Plague Pack miniatures.
Snapped a back spike off, but looking good enough. Most of the metal work on the incense burners and the sewer grates etc. we're Runelord Brass.
Bit of OSL from the gem. Very basic. Just drybrush white on the fur as well as the gem and apply the Contrast Green over the whole area. Redo some of the flesh on the paws and the effect looks OK. The skin on everyone was a random mix to give me some variety. It was from Sunburst Ochre, Ruddy Terra, Ivory White and Fiery Vermilion to make a red pink for the nose. The grey for the fur on this model was shades and some Ironclad Grey.
The bandages were a bone colour. Ushabti Bone, with a wash of Voodoo Shade and highlight of Ivory White.
The blue black cloaks were a paint from the John Blanche set. Turnbull Turquoise.
The smoke was an Army Painter paint being called Ghost Juice. Pastel Seafoam. And the gems were a Contrast Green called Aethermatic Blue.Warlock Engineer
I still prefer my kitbash engineer, but this was fun to paint.
The colours were much the same choices as the rest of the models in this army.
The gem and the red armour should tie him neatly to the rest of the army. The rat on the shoulder pad is cool.Grey Seer
I used a burgundy colour from the John Blanche Army Painter paint sets.
The basing was fun. I coaxed the dried up contrast paint from the lid of a pot. Then I super glued it down to the base. I highlighted the edges in white. Other than that, The boss.
Apparently this is not a good leader game wise. The Clawlord on Gnaw-Beast doesn't have a good points cost Vs stats and abilities trade off and I could not care less. I want to stick with him regardless of any disadvantage he may create for me or suboptimal issues.
Lloyd shot.
I could probably spend a few more hours improving elements, like more highlights and shading around the purple coat. I am content for now.
A zenith prime of white over black has helped so much. The gnaw beast and Clawlord were painted separately. Guilimam Contrast paint was very helpful.Brood Terror kitbash - Finished
Happy with this now. 
Parts from Skaventide spares, bits box bits, sprue for the flame pots, green stuff, brown stuff, Wish hobby chain, Mantic Games ogre, Gotrek Gurnisson alternative base, diabetic needle covers, broken hobby knife blade clamp and tank parts
Maybe it cost me a lot of time. Plus to be able to kitbash it still took money over time acquiring the parts and brown stuff and green stuff to assemble it. But it does feel like I saved myself the purchase of a Brood Terror and I am very happy with my unique one. There was something about the GW one I wasn't really happy with aesthetically. Even if it ends up a bit pants in game this is my version and I enjoyed making it.
Lloyd shot. The pipes and hoses are messy, but I think that's the idea.Salute submission.
I love this kitbash and wanted more people to see it. So, I submitted it in the Fantasy single miniature category at Salute.
It didn't place anywhere, but seeing it in the display booth at a big event under a lot of eyes throughout the day still felt good.
I spent a few more hours on it the night before the event and realised at that even at this late stage that there was still some grey plastic showing in one armpit and part of the gun stock. Even, under closer inspection, that the metal face piece should only be over the left eye. It was nice to give the model a bit more love. I am more determined to get the Skaventide box finished off.
