Rat October

Some recent progress made on the Skaven horde.  Total now is 145 Clanrats, 36 Plague Monks, seven Jezzail teams, two Ratling guns, two Rat Ogres, and...

...one suitably grungy-looking Plague Lord to lead the army into battle!

Next up in the painting queue are some more characters - Moulders to herd the Rat Ogres and giant rats, a Warlock Engineer or two, a Grey Seer maybe...?  Then back to painting rank-and-file - Stormvermin - and maybe a Plague Furnace?  I just picked up a set of Skaven from the new Island of Blood box so it promises to be a Rat October indeed!

You are painting faster than rat can reproduce. The colors really evoke crawling vermin. How many points do you have so far?

Dallas said...

200 models so maybe... 500 points? ;-)

I haven't really stopped to figure that out, but IIRC a clanrat with spear and shield is worth 5pts., so they are about 750... Plague Monks 7 pts., so 300...

The cheapest unit in the Wood Elves army is a Glade Guard at 12pts... The two regiments and two heroes are worth about 750pts. Wood Elves will certainly need lots of ground to run away from these rat packs while trying to shoot them down.

That's a whole lotta rats.

Looking good, Dallas.

Nice work, Dallas! I love those jezzail teams. That's going to be a massive force when you get it all completed. Do they still have that crazy warp-fire 88 cannon thing that could shoot through terrain?
