Skaven spearhead personalities

Image
 The Skaven spearhead in Skaventide has three wonderful leader figures. The great seer, mounted clawlord and the fabulous engineer.  Once again I majored in contrast paints on these dudes, adding a bit of extra shading where needed.  For some reason I went marigold orange on the engineer's gloves, but these guys are mostly shades of grey.  I've not played a game yet, I've gm'd one as we tried to learn the rules, but no actual fighting yet. I hope these give you a bit of inspiration. Thanks for looking.

Spearhead rats

I decided to paint all 40 clanrats as I thought they would be a fast exercise in batch painting. The problem is that they are all very different and each sculpt has something unique. There are 20 different sculpts and when you add in the banner and musician alternatives the variety is incredible. I did a few really basic conversions at the wrist to change weapons.  I used a red for most of the clothing, some black, to give a unified clan look. I'm yet to do the basing, it's a big dull session I am not looking forward to.

Spearhead!

I bought the big Skaventide box from GW a while back. I felt it was good value and I have been tempted by fantasy for a while.  It came with a Spearhead book which I absolutely love the concept of.  Si I decided to get my stuff together and build a couple of spearheads to play with. First up was the terrain, nice details and pretty easy to paint.

Underworlds gang of Stabbas

 Another Underworld gang, this time nasty stabby orcs. I really dig the spiky nasty aesthetic of the GW kruleboys. Mostly contrast paints on these, but I do mess with the finish, I went for a super bright skin this time.

Darkwater figures

 Another GW product, bought to play with the less experienced wargaming pals I have. Filled with some bloody lovely figures and some interesting scenarios and books.

GW AoS scenery

I've been playing a lot with the evil empire recently and buying quite a bit of G W plastic. I bought the Skaventide box a while back and this is the first bits I've painted. Some nice, but obviously massively detailed walls and shrines that have been damaged by the nasty rats. Basic contrast over a grey base coat and a bit of ink wash here and there.

Warmaster

Before Kill team came out, my favourite GW game was Warmaster. I bought a couple of armies when it came out and have played it on and off ever since. I really dig the Revolution community and the way the game is still supported. I have a gaming day coming up and I'm writing a few scenarios that require a bit of terrain. So here are a few 3D printed buildings that I got from MMF and had printed by a pal. It's a bit weird but the roofs of the houses came out smaller than the bodies, so I made new roofs for the larger houses and new houses for the smaller roofs. I also had a nice church printed, it seems a tad small, or the houses are too big, I don't know. They'll all look OK on the field when we play around them.
