My name is Andy and I live in Yorkshire in the UK. I’ve been collecting and painting citadel miniatures since 1979 and playing warhammer since it first inception to the 3rd edition.
For this challenge, which happens to be my first :), I’ve chosen Skaven!!!, at this point Andy’s sub conscious screams wtf why do you always go for the horde armies...
I love the furry little Jez Goodwins’ bastards. I was lucky enough to see and buy some of the models before they went on general release. It was love at first sight, they had so much character and there lore was wonderfully crafted.
I’ve decided to build a 3rd edition army and only use models that were released at the time and sculpted by Jez and Marauder miniatures. The reason for the inclusion of Marauder models was to add some variety to the plague monk regiment which Jez only sculpted two. Jez also designed a handful of troop and hero Skaven models which were released sooner after the launch of the 4th edition of warhammer. The models are in keeping with his first two series of models and I’ve been reliably informed the models were designed and prototyped whilst the 3rd edition was legal so if my OCD and Autism will allow me I might included these in my project. I won’t be using any of the Colin Dixon Skaven which in my option are a crime against the miniature world.
