Skaven Expansion; Part 1

 

Time to start working on the Skaven expansion. On January 30th, I did a poll in the facebook group "Warhammer Quest!" on what Skaven models I should paint first. 

 The results of the poll:

Packmaster got 45%
Ratling Gun Team 27%
Rat Swarms 9%
Poison Wind Mortor Team 9%
Doom-Flayer Team 9% 

Skaven Packmaster Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Rat Swarms Paint:

There are 7 unique rat models on each base, each was found on Telegram. 

 

That does mean painting 28 rats to fill out 4 bases. 

 

 

Poison Wind Mortor Team Paint:
Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Claws: "White Scar" white 
Shawl: "Corax White" dry brushed over with "White Scar"
Nose, Tail, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink
Tubes: "Moot Green"
Globadier Balls: "Flash Gitz Yellow"
Gas Masks: "Screaming Skull"
Mortor Wheel: "XV-88"

The Mortor Team STL was found on Telegram. 

 

Doom-Flayer Paint:
Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Claws & Teeth: "White Scar" white 
Nose, Tail, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink
Gas Tank: "Moot Green"
Power Cables: "Flash Gitz Yellow"

 

This is the Dwarf Blood Bowl Team Death Roller /w a Skaven Gutter runner from Mordhiem riding it, instead of a Dwarf. Someone else paired these  two models together and put it on Telegram. I used Blender to cover any obviously Dwarven Symbols with Skaven Bells. 

I wanted the Doom-Flayer to have a 90s GW feel and this felt right.

Warp-Grinder Team Paint:
Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Claws & Teeth: "White Scar" white 
Nose, Tail, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink
Gas Lines, Electric Generator Glow, Grinder Crystal: "Moot Green", some times highlighted with mix (50/50 Moot Green & White Scar), and some times with Agrax Earthshade Wash

This is a conversion of my own making. Its the Ratling Gun with the mini gun barrels replaced with a Grinder Crystal and a Electric Backpack added to Fuel Hauler.

The first 10 Skaven expansion models together.

10 Skaven monsters painted of 45 needed.   

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.
