Hello all!
Skaven!?! I hear you utter in surprise and ridicule, but yes: Skaven!
Twenty
or twenty five years ago I began playing Warhammer and did so seriously
for at least 15 years (e.g. a ton of competitions and at least a game
every fourteen day). After this period I still enjoyed painting and
converting these 28mm figures.
The
result is a Skaven army that includes ancient models, an absurd amount
of conversion and about a million manhours :-). But unfortunately also a
Skaven army (about 7000points) that I have not really seen in ten years
due to my dislike of the last couple of Warhammer editions
("Herohammer").
This
complete lack of interest (or rather feeling a great sadness every time I
saw their containers in the basement) has somewhat disappeared due to
the new edition of Warhammer that stresses the type of armies I enjoyed
(huge blocks) and the new Skaven models. But no, I probably wont be playing any Warhammer games but I decided to take out the old rats and
take a few pictures of them - which resulted in a nice afternoon of
reliving old days :-).
I´ll
start out with the banner bearer and champion from one of the Plague
monk units as the banner really sums up my skaven army :-).
I hope you´ll come back and see more of these Skaven as I share them over the next weeks.
Best regards,
Kasper

| The Banner bearer is the old plague monk banner bearer, while the champion is a combination of a jezzail champion and a globadier hand, and a couple of horns to finish him off. The banner proudly presents a minotaur head - probably one that they have recently killed. There used to be some more stuff on top of the head but that seems to have fallen off. |
