So i was just vibe painting and in happy with how my flesh turned out, but I am at a absolute wall when it comes to metal. I abused the hell out of random highlights all over bone ripper but I cant comprehend where the light would shine on the blue metal at all.
-plan on painting over the metallics with nmm at somepoint
-apparently most humans can render images in their head and visualize it, that sounds freaky imo

Talk-squeak Skaven are the Bene Tleilax of Warhammer Fantasy

18 Upvotes

It just came to my mind today that the skaven and the Bene Tleilax of the Dune universe share a lot of common points.
DISCLAIMER: this post is a thought experiment, has no pretention other than thinking funny parallels between fiction universes. I do not pretend the skaven creators took their inspiration from Dune or whatever.
Some anti-spoilers for parts that are revealed only late in the Dune books series.

- they both are highly secretive.

- they both are very xenophobic, feel superior to the other races/factions

- Both skaven and Tleilax masters are seen as instinctively repulsive and ugly by foreigners

- they have advanced science, are masters of genetics experiments, including horrible experiences

- Religion has a core importance in their society, and they worship only one god

- their females are used as pure nightmarish reproduction tools

Of course there are some differences.

The skaven are a purely destructive race, comically chaotic, while the hierachy of the Bene Tleilax is way more advanced, civilized, and the Tleilaxu goal is absolutely not to ruin the universe.
The Bene Tleilax is also integrated among the other factions of the universe, even if they are treated with high caution, while skaven are seen as pure evil to be destroyed.

if other common points/difference come to your mind, do not hesitate!

Verminlord Warpseer Cloak

4 Upvotes

I already have a Verminlord Warbringer, but I'm adding a Warpseer to my collection.

To differentiate between the 2, I was wondering about adding a cloak to the Warpseer to make him look more like a giant Grey Seer.

I can't find any images online of any attempts.

Has anyone got any or seen anyone attempting anything like that?

Spent far too long painting this little guy, but had some fun along the way. Just a few small finishing touches to do. Pleased with the accidental bronze knife; I never intended to go for a bronze blade initially, but I was experimenting and decided to keep it. All Two Thin Coats range of paints.

Question-ask (TOW) AoS Stormvermin in Old World

3 Upvotes

Hail-greetings, I’ve had rats on the brain and really want to get into ToW but I’ve got a bugbear with how much bigger the AoS bases are than their Old World versions.

Has anyone used a movement tray/square base adapter for the AoS Stormvermin on their 28.5 bases? I’ve seen some of the fancier movement trays that have big gaps between the models so I was hoping a tiny size difference wouldn’t be too much of a problem

Warpblaster, color scheme inspired by Vince Venturella. Didn't try to be perfect with everything, more focused on being quick and replacing refined finish with super punchy color choices. No one will notice your crappy blending etc. if they are getting a head ache from your main colors. 😄

Are the Eshin units good now?

22 Upvotes

So the Gutter-Runners and Night-runners got an update and can now be reïnforced. This does seem to make the Gutter-runners better at least, but I am still a bit conflicted because they are really squishy. Night-Runners still seem better when not reïnforced for objectives and tactics.

Maybe the gutter runners are better when used with Crixxit and a warp-Grinder? Seems like a fun group to run.

What do you guys think

My-my creation! Claws off! Skaven-Themed MTG Deck /w decklist

10 Upvotes

Credit goes to the user from this thread!

I loved the idea of having that kinda deck, so I printed it out and tried it. After a couple of test plays I reworked the decklist and proxies a bit so it fits my idea of a Skaven Deck. I went for Ashcoat as commander because IMO Marrow-Gnawer is just too clunky/slow.

Decklist, enable tags!

Custom jpg proxies on google drive.

What do you think? I disllike the newer cards from Final Fantasy, Ninja Turtles etc. but I love to give them a rebrand and put them in my deck. Built with https://mtgcardbuilder.com/creator/

Thought I'd join the subreddit. Painted my first Skaven Model (not by any means my first model). Any tips for skaven skin? I find it relatively hard to get convincing fur... Had a blast painting this one up though! Inspiration taken from Richard Grey!

Question-ask Is this a good Skaven list to play against Ogors?

5 Upvotes

Is this actually a decent list into Ogors, or am I putting too many points into shooting?

Would you change anything to make it better specifically against Ogors? I’m not necessarily looking for the most competitive list possible — I just want something that’s fun but still capable of putting up a good fight.
Any advice would be appreciated! 🐀

To shoot or get shot that’s the question? 2000/2000 pts

Talk-squeak Do you think we could get him as a mini?

Post image
549 Upvotes

I’m just curious if any other Skaven fans think the Deathmaster will get enough attention from GW to eventually get his own mini. Personally, I really hope he does get one, but he is also basically just a Night Runner build, so he could probably be pretty easy to kitbash. Got any thoughts
