Skaven mood today. Carying some miniature drill to breach through walls and doors, inspiration from the ratling and warpfire throwers from vermintide. The white fur is from chemicals bleaching it.

3d printed Skaven doomwheel! I already have an official one, but I'm collecting as many different proxies as I can in order to be able to have all of my doomwheels look slightly different.

More Rats!!

These silly rodents are on their way to commit some particularly heinous war crimes

Havent based this one yet but otherwise I'm very happy with this one, especially the actual warp globes, I think the freehand on them turned out great :)

Attempting to Learn Age of Sigmar:

After only getting into Warhammer Fantasy Battle a couple of Months before the End Times I never really had the chance to get serious with it. I owned a small army of Skaven and small army of Wood Elves. I am an incredibly slow painter, but when WFB changed to AOS I just gave up painting both armies for a while. Earlier this year I decided to give it another go, but I am determined to paint up as much of both armies as possible before purchasing anything new for them.

Finally I have at least two working armies all now moved over to circle bases. Most are undercoated, but excuse the lack of paint for now. The winner of this fight will be the next army on my paint station. Using the Warscrolls from the older PDFs for now, but the Generals Handbook for Allegiance Abilities, Command Traits and Artefacts.

FINAL RESULTS:

Order were tabled.

Some rules were forgotten, concentrating so hard on getting the mechanics and units right, the allegiance traits etc were kind of left behind.

All together it was a Skaven victory, so I will start looking into what I want to expand them into. 

A little more practise and I can see myself really getting into this game. It is a shame that the warscrolls are so scattered around and many of the characters have gone, but I would rather make my traditional Skaven work without having to resort to a full pestilence force. Same with the Wood elves, more glade guard and replacing the Stormcast with some heavy melee units.
