Skaven

Vermintide Stormvermin and Plague Monks

by

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!

Storm Vermin in the streets of Ubersreik

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.

Vicious crazed plague monks!

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

Skaven Villains!

by

We already have a variety of Skaven henchmen, but you can never get enough villains!

Here are my versions of Deathmaster Snikch and the Skaven Warlord!

The Deathmaster miniature is one of my favourite Skaven minis. Unfortunately I am still struggling with metal colours. I am starting to get a hang of it, but until then, I’ll settle with the rusty daggers he is wielding :-) rest of the miniature looks awesome “in person”!

I still can’t fathom that these minis are supposed to stand on 20mm square bases. I have attached both to 32mm round bases, so you can see how hard it must have been when using them for WHFB!

Skaven: Plague Priest

Another Skaven for the collection – This time a Clan Pestilence character, the Plague Priest. The model is actually pretty large and I ended up putting it on a 32mm base from Tabletop-Art. Good thing I didn’t have to use him on a 20mm square base for a Skaven army back in the good old Warhammer Fantasy days – Must have been a joy fitting him into a regiment.

Commission Work: Miniatures

by

I recently finished another batch of miniatures for a commission job – It included a bunch of heroes & characters – Many of these were Games Workshop minis. I’m really happy with several of the miniatures and was a bit sad to let go off the Lizardmen Skink Priest and Saurus Warrior, but I know they’re in good hands :-)

I also had to paint two female miniatures with Pink hair, which is something I’ve never done before – But they turned out better than I feared.

Skaven Engineers & Poison Wind Globadier

… Plus Ratty the Helper!

3 more Skaven miniatures done for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign in Middenheim. I added the little exhaust on the engineer in the middle to spice him up.

I fell in love with Ratty the Helper when painting the skaven engineer, what a cute little guy, loading the engineer’s pistol for him! I just had to give him a bit more spotlight, so a picture of the engineer from the other side below ;)

Skaven: Plague Censer Bearers

Two more skaven miniatures done – They’re to be used in my current WFRP campaign – Where the adventurer party has learned that there are Skaven lairs in the mountain beneath the city of Middenheim. Since the city is inflicted by a plague, there’s a bit of a chance that Clan Pestilence may somehow be involved..
