Kober's Skaven Hoard - Plague Monks 236 points

The lingering stench of the polluted air is a warning to all who wish to battle the Plague Monk unit. Leading the Skaven Hoard is the advanced unit of 20 Plague Monks. Hidden within the unit is two (2) Plague Censer Bearers.

Details: I painted two additional troopers as part of this unit (points not included in the 236) . This way I can field the unit with or without the Censer Bearers to surprise my opponent. I attempted to keep my color choices close to the old White Dwarf and 4th ed printed examples. The colors are bright with a mix of Yellow, Purple, Blue and Red. Paints : The army was spray primered Army Painter Leather Brown. I brushed on Citadel foundation paints, Vallejo Game color, Game color Air, and Army Painter washes. I paint with Zem brushes (3200 Kolinsky sable) and a synthetic brush for washes. I tried two new techniques with this unit. First, using a gloss over gloss technique on my washes. Second, to get the highlights bright I first highlighted with bleached bone and then painted on the Game color Air covering the bleached bone. The swords have a final edge highlight of Vallejo model color fluorescent green.

Kober's Ragtag Hoard of Rats

The Winds of Change have turned towards Chaos. As the Armies of Chaos grow in power the Skaven wonder far and wide to gathering strength. The Skaven spread pestilence and filth feeding off the success of Chaos armies victories. Kober's Ragtag hoard includes Plague Monks, Gutter Runners, Clan Rat Warriors and Skryre Warp FireThrowers Teams. Anytime Plague Monks are on the field you must assume that they include Plague Censer Bearers. For the Green fog of caustic gas has been the demise of many good souls. The Skaven army is lead by a Skryre Seer and a SewerTyrant level commander. The Hoard has recently required a Clan Eshin Assassin and five Poisoned Wind Globadiers. 

The Skaven Hoard has a model count of 80 models and can be fielded as either a 3ed edition army or a 3ed Ally Contingent. All Models have been spray with either a black or Army painter Fur Brown.

Total Points 1131. 

I have included substitute models to disguise the Plague Censer Bearers, these are not counted in my army list point total. Additionally, I will paint all 4 of my Warp Firethrower teams and have only counted the points for 3 teams in my Army list. Likewise, I will be painting an 3 extra Poisoned Wind Globadiers not in my army list. Final note, I have about 50 Clan Rats plus some addition models that I had painted many years ago. I hope to update these models during the next 6 months.



 The Hoard :  1131 points

 The Leaders : 187 points

Plague Monks : 236 points


 Clan warriors ; 222 points


 Warp Firethrower teams : 243 points


 Gutter Runners  and Poisoned Wind Globadiers : 193 points and 50 points

Kober's Expeditionary Force - Here comes the King (494pts)

Kober's Expeditionary Force - Added points 494.   Warriors with spears and shields  (240 points ),  Dwarf Wizard (0 points)  doesn't count since I had previously painted him.  Dwarf King  lvl 20 ( 254 points ) 

King Kober the magnificent leads his expeditionary force to rid his hops fields of the Green skin scum.    The Almighty King is supported  by two shield bearers so he can have a clear view of the battle field and meet any Orc eye to eye. 

King Kober has enlisted the services of his trusted advisor and wizard Carl the beer bug crusher (lvl 20) .  Carl has researched the ancient rule of  frost for this adventure.

The morale  of King Kober's troops is at an all time high.   Having Bugmans brew in a frosted mug has been a big hit.

Kober's Dwarven expeditionary force

Kober's  Dwarven expeditionary force:




About me:    I have been collecting miniatures and playing board games for over 30 years.   My addiction started  playing a Avalon Hill game called Chancellorsville in the 7th grade.   Not long after, I started playing Dungeons and Dragons and attended my first gaming convention.   At this convention I saw a game table full of terrain and GW Rogue Trader miniatures.   I was instantly hooked.     Some of the first fantasy miniatures I purchased where Dwarfs.   Over the  years I have collected a sizeable Dwarf army,  many of these models are included in my expeditionary force.
