Skaven warband WIP

Hi guys, just a few quick pics of my skaven warband i'm working on:

Assassin adept, Queek headtaker model with fighting claws.


Sorcerer from the island of blood set with a load of stuff trimmed off and a different hand added.


Black Skaven based on stormvermin with fighting claws.


What do you guys reckon?

Very nice work! I love the action in the Qweek model. Looks great!

COOL STUFF, Andrew! The VERY animated Queek is an EXCELLENTLY positioned mini. Have FUN with the painting!

Now then as a self admitted W.I.P. thread, this belongs on the Painting & Modeling Section...which is where I'll move it. Don't feel bad about misplacing the thread; it's a common mistake.

Looks promising! Very dynamic poses!

Great work!
The Queek model with your conversions make a great assasin!

Cool looking models! Keep us informed of your progress.

LOVE the Queek model in flying jump action! The others are also well-sculpted. Nicely done!

Hey guys, quick update pic of the assassin adept, shown below.

all painted up. not super happy with the paintjob but supremely proud of the mods. as a side note i plan on redoing the static grass on the base, it just didn't want to work. i think i'll use some of GW's 'mordheim turf' static grass tufts. nice and yellow brown for the setting.







this model is one of the reasons i try to avoid finecast, really finnicky details, hard to work out what's mold line, bubble or feature. as a result there are a heap of mold lines that i only really noticed after i had started painting. a bit disappointing but overall i'm happy with how it turned out. loving the results of the red armour especially!

LOOKIN' GOOD! I like the idea of the red armor; it appears the lighting drained some of the color, but it still looks good. GREAT WORK!

The static grass has a mind of it's own; when it cooperates it's a great effect. I've become a fan of the grass clumps myself. Army Painter (a little pricey), Silflor, &, for larger areas, Heiki are my favorites.

couple of better lit shots of my assassin and a nice one of my sorcerer

The new photos show the Rat Lads off to an advantage; i.e., they look far COOLER! VERY WELL DONE!

If you add a dot of yellow to their eyes, you'd get a glowing effect.

I really like your painting style, the faded colors look great on the rats.

And obviously your leader is awe-inspiring, good job!
