Graeme's Skaven - February - Rank and File #2 (27 points)

Graeme's Skaven - February - Rank and File #2 (27 points)

Like the month, it's going to be short and sweet...

Without further ado, here's my February contribution in all their glory:


February's rabble

February is always a tight squeeze, so the Giant Rats were called up to make things a little easier to hit the 10 figure target. I painted up two of them as albinos, just to break up the dark colours.


The Skavenslaves turned out well, and I'm really happy with them. However, I've been fiddling with my lighting and camera setup and still don't feel the photos are coming out quite right, so the experimentation will continue until I hit the sweet spot and can display them in all their glory.

Skavenslaves


5 Skavenslaves, armed with a hand weapon and spear - 15 points

6 Giant Rats, armed with malice and evil intentions - 12 points

So, the dizzying total of 27 points of Skaven rank-and-file is added to my army this month!

That brings the grand total for the challenge so far to 72 points!!!

The plan for March? Uhm, more Clan Rats and Skavenslaves... It's not creative and it's not exciting, but it's slowly bulking up my army, thank you very much.

I promise to try to prep some more exciting and colourful stuff for later in the challenge, but for now I'm just going to keep grinding out more cannon fodder.

    1. I noticed this weekend that the painted group is starting to get bigger - really hoping to be able to have an impressive horde at the end of this

  4. Another hurdle cleared! And some nice minis produced, too.

    I don't know if it helps, but all my photos look terrible off the camera and then I just whack up the exposure and so on in Photobucket so you can see something. There's probably a proper way of doing it, but I'm too busy painting to find / learn it! ;)

    1. Thanks! I stupidly changed my lighting setup for the photos and I didn't have time to fiddle with the camera settings to correct things. Hopefully i'll work it out before the end of the challenge

  6. Love your colour palette as always. It is catchy yet those slaves feels like something you'll see in a dark age historical army. Keep up your fantastic work!
