Zelophahad's Ratmen with guns

This is so cool!

OK... this is simple.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT GW NEEDS TO PUT SKAVEN IN SPACE!

Superb job... truly amazing! I'm without words! Ask DaBank... not easy to do! After I put my jaw back in place... I will certainly comment. WOW!

zelophahad is now using parts of the Ratmen of Skey Fenn as a Traitor Imperial Guard army (with some success I might add!

Have a look at his latest (awesome) stuff!

Wow! What did he use to make the back end of the sentinel?

Mostly Defiler bitz I think.

This is absurd! HOLY SH#$@!!! People at the office are looking at me weird... I guess my reaction is SHOCK! There are no words to describe your walkers... damn! They do look like mechanized rats... AMAZING! I never liked the smoke launchers... until now! Great use for 'teeth"! Not that you need any improvements... but I would suggest putting few pieces of wyrdstone on the mechas... just to drive a point! Hehehehe... and maybe a decal about visiting Disney World... The paint is perfect... if Skavens got to space, they WOULD BE EXACTLY as yours.

I maybe the only 40k player who do not give a rat's ass (hehehehe... pun!) about Chaos, but your Skavens are pure magic! In all honesty, I will BEG you to participate in a Golden Demon (Open Entry) and show the world your art... showcase your conversions, ideas and technique. At the very least, you win Player's Choice. Every 40k player will most definitely appreciate your efforts (takes time & skill to do what you have done) as well as the insanity of having space-rats in the battlefield.

Great job man! PURE GENIUS! Thanks for sharing... keep the photos coming!

Zelophahad took this army to Warhammer World earlier this year and he's still going on about how much John Blanche liked his army! (He's not really, but he was very pleased and we often tease him about it! )

OH MY GOD THIS ARMY IS AWESOME! My brother is a big Skaven player, and was working on his own house list for a 40K Skaven army, he's gonna love this!

The conversions are great, you captured the feel of Skaven for 40k very well and Lost and the Damned are the perfect army list! I especially like the piecemeal look of the army with all of their looted weapons, and the vehicle conversions of course! The ratling guns peering out of the holes in the tank, and the doomwheel treads, are great little touches. Nice job!

(sidenote: Legion of the Damned are the long-lost Space Marine Firehawks chapter, returning in some sort of ghostly form after disappearing in a warp storm).

This is awesome as I had to come back and look at the pics again.

so are those walkers... RAT-AT's?


*looks around for giggles*

Sorry Duce - Blessed Knight beat you to it! He named them that a few days ago

BRILLIANT! It's pretty easy to see why Old John the B was taken with them. The kitbashing is INCREDIBLY WELL DONE...my ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE thing has got to be the tails. GREAT STUFF!

Damnit!!! *pulls out newspaper*

Blood will spill!!!

its pure awesomeness!!!

*** Soccer for you gringos!

I thought that was Morkchester.

so WBK would have us believe...

What is this MANchester you speak of?

The PROPER name should be Morkorpossiblygorkchester...sounds kind of Welsh.

lol

Manchester United is a professional Soccer Team from UK... famous around the world and infamous for their hooligans (violent fans) link #1, link #2.

Think real life Blood Bowl fans! WAAAGH!

Man U fans are not the most infamous football hooligans - there are a lot worse in the UK! I'm pretty sure Madchester comes from the 1990's Rave scene, rather than football. (But I know very little about either!)

This is getting epically off-topic!

and you'd stuggle to find Man U fans in Manchester. Most are from London.

(info based from sharing an office with an ex-red who always seemed to complain about prawn sandwiches.)

So... how about those 40k Skaven? Awesome!
