My final Skaven Paint Scheme
So I finally settled on my final Skaven paint scheme and painted up a Clanrat in it. It took my 70 minutes to finish, I aimed for 60, but to save further time I would have to sacrifice quality visibly. 10 minutes more per Clanrat…
Incoming: Skaven Giant Rats, Packmaster Conversions
So I bought like 25 Giant Rats from ebay for my upcoming Skaven armies. I still need some more for my two regiments with 22 rats each, but the Doomwheel kit will have some more as well. I also bought some arms with whips. I’m…
Glowing Warpstone, Scource Lighting Mini-Tutorial
Inspired by the Vermin Lord ‘Eavy Metal Masterclass some time ago in White Dwarf, I decided that I want glowing Warpstone in my Skaven army as well. As the bulk of the army will be painted in a more basic style than my Eldar or…
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….

The Skaven Challenge Part 2: The Vision
So how will my Skaven army shape up? As always with the armies I collect I focus on the models and themes I like and try to make a well rounded list of it. For Skaven, this means I’m going to avoid all models that…
The Skaven Challenge Part 1: Painting
I’ve already dropped a few hints here and there about my big new project once the majority of my Eldar army is finished. Beware man-things, it’s Skaven! I’ve always loved Skaven fluff but I never liked the asthetics of their model range. This was until…
Showcase: Skull Pass Night Goblin
These are some high quality pictures of a little model I painted for fellow Brückenkopf author Darkover. He just got married and as a kind of wedding present he asked all of his wargamer friends to contribute a painted Night Goblin. I don’t know why…
