Skaven Expansion; Part 4 Finished

 

Time to finish off the Skaven Expansion.

 First up, Screaming Bell.



 This is a proxi STL of the 4th edition screaming bell I found on Telegram. The details are just slightly off the original. Rules card for this model can be found at bottom of this post.

Screaming Bell Paint:

Bell Ringer & Grey Seer's Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Grey Seer's Shawl: "Mephiston Red"
Robes on both riders: "Sotek Green"
Skulls & Grey Seer's Horns: "Screaming Skull"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Animal Skin Rug: "Corax White" dry brushed over with "White Scar"
Noses, Tails, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink 
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Teeth: "White Scar"
Wood Parts: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Grey Seer's Staff Top: "Moot Green" dry brushed over with 50/50 mix (white Scar & Moot Green) 
Ropes: "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
WarpStones: "Warpstone Glow" drybrushed over with "Moot Green" then dry brushed over with 50/50 mix (White Scar and Moot Green)

Next, we have Plague Furnace.

So the Plague Furnace only has one official model. Its to new and busy for my taste (especially once I have to shrink it down to Tiny Quest Size). So I need a custom model. Orinally I was thinking of making it so I could swam out parts on the above Screaming Bell so it could become a Plague Furnace and save the space of having two completely different models. But I kind of like how this project is just showing off the many different "Eras" of Warhammer models. So I opted in the end to take the 6th edition Screaming Bell and convert it into a Plague Furnace. I took the giant plague censor from the normal Plague Furnace, a 6th edition Rat Ogre, and blendered them with the 6th edition Screaming Bell model to get this.

 




All 3 parts I believe are scans of the original models, I found each of them on Telegram. The stitching of parts together I did using Blender. Rules card for this model can be found at bottom of this post.

Plague Furnace Paint:

Rat Ogre and Rats: "Corax White" dry brushed over with "White Scar"
Teeth: "White Scar"
Noses, Tails, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink 
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Wood Style 1: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Wood Style 2: "Catachan Flesh" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Wood Style 3: "Rhinox Hide" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Rat Ogre Clothes: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Ropes: "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Plague Ball & Smoke: "Warpstone Glow" drybrushed over with "Moot Green" then dry brushed over with 50/50 mix (White Scar and Moot Green)

 

Next up Skaven Engineer. This guy makes Skaven Guns more dangerous.

I'm using the 4th edition Ikit Claw Special character for this. This STL again found on Telegram. Rules card for this model can be found at bottom of this post.


 

Engineer Paint:

Engineer's Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Robes: "Sotek Green"
Skulls &  Horns: "Screaming Skull"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Noses, Tails, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink 
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Teeth: "White Scar"
Wood Parts: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Spear Energy Ball: "Moot Green" dry brushed over with 50/50 mix (white Scar & Moot Green) 
Ropes, Tassels, Wiring on Spear : "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Horned Rat Totem: "Corax White" dry brushed over with "White Scar"
Claws on Gauntlet: "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Scabbards for Knife and Pistol: "Adminstratum Grey" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

 

So I have access to all these cool Rat Ogres STLs, but no where to use them. The normal Warhammer Quest list only needs 3 Rat Ogres and I already have some painted. What if I used them as something bigger and more dangerous? What if I converted them into STORMFIENDS!

So Mordheim has a Robot Skeleton Rat Ogre. Thanquol's Boneripper dies and comes back as a Robot Zombie Rat Ogre. And one of the 6th edition Rat Ogres is all sutured together. If I swap out their hands for Ratling Guns, Warpfire Throwers, and Warp-Grinders, we can have some 4th to 6th edition style versions of Stormfiends. Rules card for this model can be found at bottom of this post.







 

Stormfiends Paint:

Stormfiend's Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Fur:  "Corax White" dry brushed over with "White Scar"
Exposed flesh: "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash and dry brushed over with "Emporer's Children" Pink 
Robe & Facemask: "Sotek Green"
Skulls &  Horns: "Screaming Skull"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Noses, Tails, and Ears: "Emporer's Children" Pink 
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar"
Wood Parts: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Warp-Grinders: "Warpstone Glow" drybrushed over with "Moot Green" then dry brushed over with 50/50 mix (White Scar and Moot Green) 

Size comparison: Left Stormfiend, center Rat Ogre, right Elf warrior.

So lets look at all 49 Skaven Expansion models.

Top Left: Doomwheel, 3x Stormfiends, 5x Wolf Rats, Warp-Grinder Team, Packmaster, and Engineer
Top Center: Exalted Vermin Lord, Brood Horror, Hellpit Abomination
Top Right: Screaming Bell & Plague Furnace
Center Front: 4x Rat Swarms, 2x Ratling Guns, Poison Wind Mortar, & Doom Flayer Team
All over the place: 24x Skaven Slaves

 


The next blog or two will be me replacing a few models I already painted with better STLs I found. But once back on track, its time for the Orc & Goblin expansion.

 

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

DeMagic Tutor out.
