Rittak Verm is the ruthless kill-wheel rider from Zikki’s Tunnelpack. The model is so sick that I wanted to dedicate a separate post to him, complete with extra-large photos.

Rittak Verm is Zikkit’s apprentice, intoxicated by warp energy, he mows down anything that isn’t quick enough to get out of the way with his kill-wheel. The kill-wheel is another murderous contraption from Clan Skyre, a sort of miniature Doomwheel with a warp drill at the front.

Painting Rittak was great fun. I hope we see more kill-wheels in the future; perhaps a whole unit of kill-wheel riders will be released someday?

How to paint Zikkit’s Tunnelpack

Zikkit’s Tunnelpack was painted in the same colour scheme as my Clanrats test models from Skaventide. I used a combination of a zenithal basecoat, Slapchop-style basecoats with Contrast paint, and additional layers and highlights. I explain this in detail in this free Skaven step-by-step tutorial:
