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!
Congratulations!! Love your muted colours
ReplyDeleteCheers! Very relieved, and more than a little surprised I made it... :-)
DeleteGreat looking rats! All the skaven armies here are so different and so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lissanne! Yeah, #teamskaven has done really well this challenge.

ReplyDeleteCheers! Fingers crossed for a productive June, to add to the horde!
DeleteGreat colour pallete, the richness of the skin tone really helps the cooler colours pop out. Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've been experimenting with the skin tones and I'm happier with how these turned out.
DeleteGreat choice of colors and they really suit the army mate. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's really taken shape - hope I can bulk it out a bit in the next month.
DeleteGreat looking job as always! I like the eclectic choice of models for this month. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteCheers Brendan! I didn't quite emulate your huge units of Giant Rats, but I hope to add to their number by the end of the challenge.
ReplyDeleteGlad we all made it!
Go #teamskaven! :-)
