I've already commented it, but it's so awesome, I'll do it again
Warband look very uniformly, but each rat have his own personality. It's great to say "I shoot to this funny falling guy". I wish, I used that individuality with my skinks......but this is hard; they have legs with torsos and very little additional weapons and bits.
I love beast tamer (grim and dark) and giant rats (I like small animals in mordheim; wish they appear more).
Great job!

My skinks are almost done I have to paint one brave and chameleon.

Awesome work mate you can be proud to field those little mice in the dark alleys of Mordheim

That was quick. The Rat Guys turned out TERRIFIC! Each one is a unique little character with his/its own personality yet they all go to together & compliment each other WONDERFULLY. VERY WELL DONE!
It suddenly occurred to moi that, unlike your usual War Band, you didn't name them all. It seems appropriate for Skaven to be part of a nameless horde, but a departure from your norm.

This is really nice warband. Good Job.

You also mentioned something about skinks in Karak Zorn.

Where is this Karak?

I found this few info by google :

Quote :

The Dwarfs built the stronghold Karak-Zorn in the Southlands upon the snow capped peaks, surrounded by the green steaming jungle. The Dwarfs in the Old World thinks that the stronghold of Karak-Zorn has been lost to attackers, they havent been heard from in centuries and noone have been able to find a tunnel leading to the stronghold. The last words was that the Undeads had cut off the mountain roads and it was assumed that the Undeads had attacked or that the stronghold had fallen to the plauges of the skaven or in a war with the Lizardmen. The truth is far more sinister than a stronghold overran by Skaven or Greenskins. The stronghold was besieged by undead but they never attacked, isntead they had worked some foul magic and sealed the Dwarfs into their stronghold. As the time passed the Dwarfs realise that their resistance to injuries had increased, but
this blessing was shortlived as clansmen would rise from mortal injuries and more and more workers drifted into a form of daydreaming.

After a century the stronghold was filling up with warriors who refused to die of natural causes or battle injuries, they wandered slowly through the halls saying nothing, reacting to little and seemed to be be daydreaming. Their features were pale and no blood was spilled when they were cut. They didnt care for their beard or hygiene and had to be tended by their family
members. Other Dwarfs stopped eating normal food and lived only on the fallen enemies or rats that they hunted in the mining tunnels. Many of these Dwarfs were cast out of the stronghold for attacking and feeding on their comrades. Many Dwarfs took up the slayer oath and left the stronghold rather than remaining and endangering their comrades.

The nobles called a meeting and they all suspected that the answer lie somewhere among the ruins of the dead. The desicion was made to send several warbands out to find an end to this curse.
