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

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….
