Final Engineer/Wizard Complete, and so is my Ratkin Army!

It gives me great pleasure to present the last model in my army, a Ratkin Wizard (or Skaven Engineer):

And so with him finished, time for some army shots!

I started this army nearly five years ago, and I'll admit at times it looked like an insurmountable task. But it's done! What a feeling, just great.

I've learnt a lot from this project (no more horde armies! Ever!) and feel ready to up my game on the next one. While I'm overall very happy with how this turned out, I regret not doing more with the basing, so that'll definitely be an area I'll improve upon in my next army.

As to what that'll be, watch this space...

From the pits...

Wow, has it really been over a year since I updated?

Yes. Yes it has. Crazy.

In that time I have continued hobbying, but not at the same pace. However, I've failed to post what little progress I've made, so time to sort that.

I don't remember when I finished these exactly, but it was some point last year. Rat Ogres + Packmaster!

Now all I have left to paint in this army is one engineer and 40 slaves. I had planned on adding an Abomination, however the rumours about 9th really do nothing for me, so I can see myself wrapping up the army at that point. It's a shame, but after painting this many rats it's also a bit of a relief to have a clear finish-line.

Progress Report #1

In the next few days I'll be going far, far away from my hobby table for a while, so I really wanted to get my remaining 60 clanrats finished before then. Alas, I was only able to get them up to a minimum tabletop standard (base coloured, washed, some details and based). However this is still a good point to take stock of how I'm progressing so far and what I still have to do. So on to the pictures!

"Capture the Football/Soccer field we must, quick-quick!"

The first three pics show everything which is completely done, and in last pic you can see the two minimum standard units on either side. I hope you'll all agree that from this distance they are fine, I'll of course show them in more detail when there is more detail to show!

Still to do:

Finish 60 Clanrats, 1 WFT.

3 Warlock Engineers (1 with Brass Orb, 1 Doom Rocket).

23 Stormvermin.

40 Slaves.

2 Giant Rat Darts.

4 Rat Ogres.

So lots to go, but I feel like I'm about halfway through now. Anyway, that's gonna be it from me for a while, later!

The Verminous Horde Shows Itself!

Picture time, here's everything Skaven that I've finished so far:

 Warlord Massiskikk the Scourgebringer!

 Grey Seer Velsisk.

 Engineer Thant.

 Infernal Devices of Clan Skyre.

 Horrors of Clan Moulder.

And what would any Skaven force be without the humble Clanrats?

I've done another 40 Clanrats but only to tabletop standard, so I won't show them till they're done (gives me incentive :p).

Also currently painting a Doomwheel (*excited chittering*) so should have pics next week.
