Skaven Rat Ogres

 

I've used a base spray of light brown from Cobra.

Perfect for the skin. Not so for the metal.

The upper one has a coat of black before the metal work.

The lower one has metal painted on to the light brown.

Looks a little wishy washy.

Plenty to do yet - strapping, lumps and bumps

and highlighting.

I've used Ratskin Flesh rather than a paler pink as on other Skaven.

Ratchitt - Warlock engineer

 

He was part finished so a quick gallop reached the line.

Copper and brass are not coming up so well now.

I guess a lot of the metal sticks to the pot bottom, despite stirring.

They are very old paints.

Skaven Rat Ogres - Assembly

 

Assembly only, as yet.

When putting together the second one,

I twigged that the pins were just a damn nuisance.

Testing the two halves together before gluing

 makes for difficulty prising them apart.

There's only one way they can fit.

Snip them off.

Warpfire Weapon Team

So here's the 'Warpfire Thrower weapon team' finished.

A sudden flurry of work done as I'm too damn knackered,

after Covid, pneumonia and housemaid's knee,

to work on the allotment.

The images are a bit dark because I was on overtime.

 

Skaven progress

 

This Warpfire Thrower team were started way back

but I've made some progress recently.

I'll get them finished, glued together and then consider the base.

Earlier Skaven bases were very simple

but it seems a shame to waste the space on this one.

Corsair Arbalesters

 

After being struck down by a succession of infections, various,

I've been too low-spirited to do much.

However, I perked up a bit when I found these nearly completed Corsairs.

All that was needed was a decision on bases (not very well done)

and two shields to be affixed.

There are a couple of others but they've lost their bows.

Even if I locate them, I'll have to do some pinning.

Altogether now

As I'm doing very little, right now, and what I am doing takes a while,

I thought I'd put something up to pass the time.

Rohan Civilians 18

I thought I'd finished the civvies till I spotted these two chaps.

They are listed as traders.

I suppose they trade in whatever is in the barrels they are sitting on.

The next project will take even longer.

Kids at table

 

Starting LOTR early

Rohan Civilians 17 (At last)

 

At last the whole goods train is here.

The loop of 'rope' is just silky thread,

painted dark grey and dry brushed lighter.

The thing I forgot this time is a highlight on the black horse leather.

On the lookout for Wildmen of Dunland.
