I got off to another great start in May, getting a Clan Skryre Warpfire-thrower and hero done quickly. I experimented with different metal effects this month and was pretty happy with how the barrel of the warpfire-thrower turned out. I finally managed to get the right sequence of inks, washes and verdigris. I tried a similar effect to create a bronze-style blade on the Rat Ogre.
Warpfire-thrower team - 81 points
Clan Chieftain (Level 5 Hero ), with spear and light armour - 31 points
I had admired Brendan's mass of Giant Rats from January and March and set my mind on a big unit of them for May. Real-life intervened again.... my job threw a spanner in the works, then tossed in the rest of the toolbox for good measure.... so the heaving mass of Giant Rats turned into a rather modest unit...
Sixteen Giant Rats - 32 points
One tip for the fashion-conscious rat overlord: your giant rats really shouldn't be seen dead without some earrings this summer... flesh wounds are optional.
Three beastmasters - 31.5 points
One Rat Ogre, to bolster the Clan Moulder contingent - 38 points
All of May's force
Warpfire-thrower team - 81 points
Clan Chieftain - 31 points
3 beastmasters - 31.5 points
16 Giant Rats - 32 points
1 Rat Ogre - 38 points
Total for May: 213.5 points
Total for the army: 1085 points
Even though I've reached the 1000 point target, I'm going to keep going - I want to build some Clanrat or Slave units and finally get a banner or two done, so stay tuned for more next month!
