Old Skaven Madness - part 7b - Globadiers

Hello all,
Just to finish with the Skaven Globadiers here is a more massive globadier rat - seems to haven been a collaboration between Clan Skryre and Clan Moulder that created this monster. Perhaps in an effort to throw the bloody globe further?

The Giant Rat (which I have no idea where stems from) is in my mind one of the best Giant Rats ever made. Looks bloody vicious!

Old Skaven Madness - part 7 - Globadiers

Hello all - I thought I might as well finish the Skaven Globadiers by showing the last few of them.

Converted Skaven Globardier

These are all models from the 1989 line of Skaven - where they had unfortunately stopped giving the rats individual names:  So these are simply named as an Clan Skryre Globadier (the left one, who looks like a Plague Monk - whom I have supplied with a new hairdo), and another Clan Skryre Globadier which to my mind looks a lot more sinister than the modern one, and lastly a Grey Seer model from the same year. The Grey Seer seems to have turned a wee bit green - must be all the warpstone...


All the best,
Kasper

Old Skaven Madness - part 5 - Globadiers

Hello all,

More Skaven today! This post presents two quite converted Globadiers (of the modern type - these are still the current models, right?). Or perhaps psycho-robot-rats would be more a appropriate title :-).

Converted Skaven Globadiers

I never really got Globadiers to work but almost always fielded a few just for laughs and as they were cheap it added an additional dimension to the games (and even more friendly fire :-)). These two guys were subsequently used as blitzers in a Bloodbowl tournament, hence the numbers.

As for parts - I havn't the faintest idea, but they look like I sprayed them with superglue and dipped them in my bitsbox before painting them. I think I can spot a few very old Space Marine shoulder pads  and a powerglove from the old plastic SM set, some gargoyle parts and a chainsaw from an orc - and of course a lot of spiky bits :-). The thing on the arm - I have no idea!

I think they turned out allright..

Anyways, stay tuned for more Skaven (I still got about 3000 points of painted Skaven to present .-)).
Best regards,
Kasper

Old Skaven Madness - part 4 - Rat-taur Warp Fire Thrower

Hello all - a detour from the Plague Monks seems to be in order.
Instead I present one of my old and heavily converted Warp Fire Throwers.

Converted Skaven Warp Fire Thrower

 
This is a conversion of an old dwarf bull centaur (if I remember correctly it was the one pushing the Tenderizer) and the top part of the skaven with the gun part. Both parts are pretty old, I guess. The tank was from the back of the unlucky skaven slave who got to carry the warpfire while the tube is simply some wire.

Warpfirethrowers was by far my favourite part of the Skaven army (and yes - this was way before Ratling guns etc) and even though they would always blow up - and everything else within a wide diameter - they would also crisp the opponents favourite troops. Great fun :-).

Best regards,
Kasper
