Rats. Yes yes!

After what probably accounts as too many hours of playing total war warhammer 2 and the hilariousness of knowing that skaven are the first race of the warhammer world to make it into space, (cosmonaut rats, yes yes!!). I decided to strip the paint of my very very old skaven army, buy me some new toys and start a new skaven army combining old and new models.

I'm not really sure if I will play Age of Sigmar but I'm pretty sure I want to have this little guys on a special place on my shelf.

One of the first things I had to learn is how to properly paint corrosion effects on metallic weapons as I don't usually paint with metallic paints.

I bought me a Veer-Myn Brood Mother from Mantic to act as my Arch-Warplock engineer. It's a miniature clad in metal where i could practice some of the techniques.

I then went right into painting the good old ratlings. I decided to use a purplish grey as my army main color while giving distinct robes to certain clans. Skryre troops use petrol blue while Pestilens use the classic green.

These are some gutter runners I test painted before I got the hand of how to paint the rusty weapons and surely will need to revisit soon.

I already started assembling my new boxes of Stormvermin and Pestilens, but what I'm most looking forward are the Stormfiends. Can't wait to land my hands on the big boys.
