Yikes!!!

Good Morning,

As I write this it is 6:30 in the morning and my work place is testing the fire alarms! This sucks. I feel like I am stuck in a 70's science fiction TV show and a battle is going on.




A real post is forthcoming. The Noise is a little distracting and I am finding it hard to concentrate with all this smoke. Is it getting warm in here? ;p

Later

Hobby Update

Hello all,

I have a few things to show off today.
So I will get right to them.

First off: Finally finished and ready for your enjoyment The Warhound!!!






This guy was fun to paint but the prep work was a real chore. I have decided to call him "The old wolf of Fenrus" With idea that it is gift (long term loan) from a forge world that the Space wolves saved long ago. It is a legionary monster in the myths of the primitives who live on Fenrus. Actually its the titan being taken on maneuvers every few years. :)

Next up is a Skaven update. The Skaven project is drawing to a close and these are the last of the official project. I will try to get the Island of Blood Skaven done by years end but it's just "gravy" at this point.

Here are the last of the SKaven project...








The Background statues are from the ruins of Osgiliath set for LOTR SBG and WOR.



Enjoy

Clan SPARTA


Hello,

I have completed the last unit of Clanrats of the original Skaven army (less the island of Blood set)
That take it to over 100 Clanrats fully painted. + all the other stuff in the army. I will post the complete army as soon as I can gets some shots of it.

The last unit of Clan Spear-rats deserves special mention. In a battle fought long ago this unit held against a charge of Ugla Khan's Wolf Riders to the front and Vesparo's Vendetta in the flank. The Skaven general managed to get insane courage after losing enough troops to need a 3 to pass. Then the next turn, in an event that boggles my mind to this day, the depleted unit of ratlings managed to WIN the combat while the RGH rolled a massive double 6 and fled only to have the Skaven run the wolf riders down and destroy them!

It was decided that they should get a special paint job for their awesomeness. I decided to base them (loosely) on the Spartans as depicted in the movie 300. Notice the non skaven like banner and the general aggressive positioning of the models and I think you will agree that it was a good call.

So without further delay I give you The Rats of Clan SPARTA
