As a big fan of the Vermintide franchise I thought that I would find and paint some of the awesome Warhammer Skaven models from Games Workshop that appear in the video games!
First off we have 7 storm vermin (more than enough for our own Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign) and 3 Clanrats. I painted them with a mix of citadel paints and Reaper miniatures paint. Background is Tabletop World buildings (the walls and a little shed from the bridge terrain) along with some Dunkeldorf cobblestone bases and accessories.
Next off we have the fearsome Plague Vermin which are always quite a challenge in the game! I really love the one with the “fly eyes” as Nurgle has blessed these rats with plenty of buboes and mutations!
At the moment I’m working on a skaven gunner, globadier, warpfire thrower and a great big Stormfiend! But with my speed it will take a while to finish them all :D
Exactly!
Hello, I loved your work with this, and honestly, I was wondering if you could shed some light for an amateur with little experience like me in the world of painting. Something like a list of paints used and/or some information on the steps to follow would be something I would greatly appreciate.
Thank you.
Hi!
For the plague monks I used Reaper paints! Basically military colours and brown sand for the face (with tanned skin for the highlights) and for the storm vermin I primed everything black and drybrush metal paint on top to give it a dark look! Cream colours and red was from Games Workshop, I believe.
I used some brown paint very thinned with water and a toothbrush to splatter some dirty sploches on their clothing to look like they have been in the sewers for a long time. If you are new to painting details such as the fabric “teeth” I recommend using a thin Micron pen to draw the pattern first! Also works wonders for whiskers :) I used a fine brush for it, but it’s no shame using pens they can be purchased down to 003 size. Just remember to only draw on completely dry paint :)
Another great tip is to use pigments to give the minis that dusty look! I used them on the base to make it less glossy overall!
Thank you very much, you are the great. Really I appreciate :)
