With demolition of the rest of the basement underway, I don't really have access to my picture-taking stuff... so.. all you get is low-quality-shot-on-the-workbench pics today...
Just finishing up two Skaven Warplock Jezzail teams.
I have four more of these... Which would make two units of three (I think they are fielded as units of three in Age of Sigmar). They would need stripping, though... I'm not super motivated to do that right now - especially since I have no great urge to use them in Age of Sigmar any time soon!?
I finished these up because they have been haunting the workbench for too long in a 90% finished state... but also because I finished up a campaign, that's got me thinking about future campaigns and I keep coming back to this ridiculous idea of hosting an in-person Warcry campaign where all the players have Skaven warbands and are fighting for dominance of the Under-Carngard!? (Of course, having four more teams might be handy for that campaign as well...)
The ruin of Carngard is the largest settlement of the Bloodwind Spoil in the Eightpoints. The Eighpoints (also/formerly known as the Allpoints) is an interdimensional island connecting the Mortal Realms through warpgates. Currently the Eightpoints are dominated by Archaon (the Everchosen of Chaos) and was the original setting for Warcry. Carngard itself is controlled by a cabal of warlords known as the Seven Talons... BUT beneath Carngard exists the largest infestation of Skaven! So I thought it would be fun to play an entire campaign of just Skaven warbands fighting in my cavern terrain.
We shall see. I think I may be able to put five or six Skaven warbands together, once I get them all painted!?
Also on the workbench: NOT more Skaven!?
(I do have the rest of the Skaven in a nearby box, though...)
The workbench is getting a bit crowded... and this is after I shoved all the non-warhammer stuff off to the sides (because I orginially took the picture for a "work-in-Progress Wednesday" post on the local Warhammer 40,000 clubs facebook group.
What I have been working on, in addition to finishing off the Skaven, are Corsair Voidscarred and Imperial Navy Breacher Kill Teams... and an assortment of other random items.
If I could pick just ONE to work on, I'd probably get stuff DONE...

ReplyDeleteOh, I know that song!
Nice skaven.
Ha-ha! Yeah. It's on heavy rotation on all my playlists!
DeleteYour skaven gangs fighting each other is a great idea for a campaign.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI've been thinking about this more, and I had a new idea. Originally I'd thought I'd have pre-made warbands, but worried this might lead to people complaining that I'd made crap warbands and they'd lost because of that... so I could have a draft at the beginning of the campaign. Here are all the minis, you pick them. Maybe a roll off for the first round, to determine who picks first, then who ever has selected the lowest total points goes first in all subsequent rounds...
Just thinking out loud here.
Silently.
In my own comments section...?

I am also painting up Skaven for Warcry... in the sense that they are on my table queue with one clan rat test model base painted. I had an idea to have four player game with all the chaos gods, but my tzeentch models are lacking.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you already have some giant rats, too! Eight of them? At 70 points each, that's half your warband right there!
DeleteA four player game of Warcry? Like with Daemons or Cultists? (either would be pretty cool!)
Great looking Skaven shot, of course you are going from not painting much to painting six Skaven warbands, not in the least surprising, have fun!

Thanks Iain.
DeleteWell... I've already got enough for two or three of them painted...
In the first four months of this year, I've already painted as much as I did in the entirety of last year (and i didn't even log any of the entire Chinese army that I mostly repainted...).
So... seems doable.
