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.Brood Terror kitbash
There's something about this GW model that I don't like. Can't put a finger on it. Just not a fan. I have lots of Skaven spare bits and am considering ways of making my own Brood Terror.
I started piecing together bit box components
I have some great rat ogre heads that should work. Will probably have it be at least twinheaded. Maybe even go with three heads.
I glued two diabetic needle covers together and cut off one end on one of them. Slapped a shield over the end and painted it all gold and feel with some skin wrapped around it here and there it will centre the kitbash.
I am going to go for two "grafts" instead of one on the GW version.
I picked up a 90mm base cheaply at Salute 52. The ogre sized body was smaller than I imagined, so I cut off the feet, made them look more abdominal, added some height with some additional calfage and this gave me an armature to build on.
I added some more diabetic needle case parts to bulk out the shoulders. The rat faced grafts ended up under each armpit. I have learnt a lot of hard lessons on this model. I think it's going to look OK once painted. 
Zenith prime was great... Then realised he doesn't have a tail. Oh well, it's only a minor delay.
The flail chain is a bit long, and his arm a bit short, but in my head canon his huge shoulder beneath the arm and the pipe direct into the arm give him the strength to wield the flail. The blades of the flail are a bit box odd angled blade and a Mantic Games ogre shield.
The base felt empty. The mini must not just be a Frankenstein rat monster. I think there are some rituals required to get him on the move and the flames amongst a pile of bones and weapons does the trick. I used an alternative Gotrek Gurnisson base and a bits box raid as "offerings". The flame pots are the corners of old Project Z sprues.Clanrats - beg, steal, borrow, yes yes
My army will have random colours in their clothing because it more fun for me to paint and because uniforms sounds like an unskaven idea.
I think, if in doubt, I will reach for purples, dark reds and yellows, but I give myself scope to use any colours.
