Skaven Expansion; Part 2

 

So many more rats to paint, lets get started.

I re-printed and re-painted both Gutter Runners and Clanrats with newer better models. Originally I thought I would re-paint my old Gutter Runners and Clanrats to be Skaven Slaves, because I was having trouble finding suitable STLs for Slaves. Then Telegram came through for me with some very old Skaven Slave STLs. 

I figured I wanted these different types of skaven to stand out from each other. Clanrats have a light brown color, while Gutter Runners have a dark brown color, and I'm giving Skaven Slaves a dirty White color. 

Here you can see the different paint schemes between the different types of skaven. Back row with Stormvermin and Plague Monk. Front row with Slave, Gutter Runner, and Clanrat.

 The Slaves STLs I have had quite a few variations to choose from, I picked 12 different models and printed each one twice as I needed 24 Skaven Slaves.

The variations are slight, wearing Shawl, no Shawl, eye patch, has Sling, Sword, Club, Spear or Cleaver. 

 

All 24 together.

Of coarse, pink tails.

Skaven Slaves Paint:
Slings & Belts: "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash
Skin: "White Scar"  /w "Skeleton Horde" wash, then dry brushed over again with "White Scar"
Metal Bitz: "Runefang Steel"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Clubs, Spears, & Leather Straps:  "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Shawl: "Adminstratum Grey"  /w "Skeleton Horde" wash
Nose, Tail, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

On March 4th, I did another poll on the Facebook Group "Warhammer Quest!" on what I should paint next. The results were as follows:

Wolf Rats: 33% -First
Doomwheel: 21% - 2nd
Brood Horror, Hellpit Abomination, & Exalted Vermin Lord: each at 13% - 3rd three way tie
Screaming Bell: 6% - dead last

The STL for these were found on Telegram. I believe these are a proxi for the Forge-World Wolf Rats. These add a Skaven Cavalry model like Warhound or Chaos Hounds to our Sewer Encounters list.

 

Wolf Rats Paint:

Skin: "Catachan Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" wash
Fur:  "Aboddon Black" dry brushed over with  "Adminstratum Grey"
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Nose, Tail, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

 

 

Lastly for today, Doomwheel!

Another STL found on Telegram.

 

Doomwheel Paint:
 

Driver's Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Driver's Shawl: "Xereus Purple" dry brushed over with "Genestealer Purple"
Driver's Claws: "Screaming Skull"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Rats in Hamster Wheel & Driver's Robes & Gloves: "Corax White" dry brushed over with "White Scar"
Nose, Tail, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink 
Metal Bitz: "Runefang Steel" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Teeth: "White Scar"
Wood Parts: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Control Nobs & Seat Cusion: "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Spikes, Engine Coils, & Round Jars: "" dry brushed over with 50/50 mix (white Scar & ) then just "White Scar" on edges
Springs & Lightning Bolts: "Flash Gitz Yellow" dry brushed over with 50/50 mix (white Scar & Flash Gitz Yellow )

This puts me to 40 of 49 models I need for the Skaven Monster Encounter list.

You may have noticed my number of posts has really slowed down. I've hit a few things that are slowing my progress. First, I keep deciding to redo older models. Then many of the models I want don't really exists in the style I want so I'm having to make them in blender myself. Can't wait to show you my "retro" Stormfiends! Then in my personal life, I fell way behind on bills and had to start working Saturdays. One less day a week to work with blender, 3D printing, and painting.

 

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