Incoming: Island of Bloooood!!! (finally)
I finally got my Island of Blood models. There are 80 clanrats, 4 weapon teams, 2 rat ogres, 2 handlers, the Engineer and the Warlord. I also have the “Read me first” booklet which is really bad. There is hardly any content apart from a…
High Elves Seaguard WIP
I’m painting this Lothern Seaguard champion for a tutorial that will be out early next week. I think it’s a quite unique colour scheme for High Elves and I like it really much. Almost every colour used has at least a hint of yellow in…

The Quest for a Proper Skaven Fur Colour
For my Skaven army I’m in desperate need for a suitable fur colour. I don’t like the Scorched Brown/Bestial Brown of the studio army. Bestial Brown is a very intense brown quite a bit red/orange in it. I’m looking for a more natural greyish brown….

First draft of my Skaven army
Now that we know the contents of “Island of Blood”, I took my Army Book and wrote a 2500 points around the models of the starter set and the great Skaven kits that were released last year. Now I’ve never played a game of Warhammer…
