Death to the Man-Things!


Another batch of Skaven has rolled off the painting bench of the Underrealm. This group has a Midgard unit of 8 more heavily armoured clan rats and two more rat ogres, all ready to wreck destruction upon the kingdoms of men.



Look closely and you can see regular rats poking out by their feet


Love this guy, Wish I could do an entire unit or two of him as Stormvermin




And two poor, tortured, and quite angry about it, rat ogres. If there aren't humans to kill I'm sure they'll take their frustrations and pain out on the closest warlock.




Used red ink to make the skin around the Horned Rat sigil look angry and sore and probably infected



Green contrast paint over yellow and then some red ink in the skin cracks to make this look very ouchy as well


Each rat ogre will be it's own unit, with some 3d printed swarms of giant and regular rats to fill their base out with.

Painting is pretty simple. Brown undercoat, Dry brush steel bits. Block paint the skin, clothing/rags and fur (using GW Vermin Fur!). Then it's burnt umber ink wash. Highlight metal again and do some dteails like the warp stone and claws.

Done.

Only 5 more units of clan rats, some artillery and some characters to go. Might have enough to play with then.
