Army I
Skaven
Skaven
Not actually the first army I have collected, but by far the first army that I've come close to finishing- and fielding successfully, my Skaven army has always been my go-to in terms of play style.
Large blocks of drooling slaves marching in a wall towards the enemy, backed by numerous warmachines, a large unit of plague monks chanting; death frenzied all. The entire army was expendable, but would inevitably outweigh all but the most tenacious adversaries by sheer number of bodies.
Also an expensive army to purchase, and absolutely ludicrous to transport and handle in its largest form. I've since sold off some of the bulk clanrats (the most rudimentary of the rat men warriors- above only the numberless slaves), but fielding two hundred and eighty miniatures at two thousand points, for instance, was kind of the par. The army filled up so much of the field (and my deployment zone...) that it essentially limited the opponents available moves. Most armies simply couldn't find any advantageous position to attack the wall that spread across the four feet of gaming table and marched towards them at ten inches a turn.
As it stands, I have probably in the ballpark of two hundred and fourty models? More than enough to field a varied army that is actually a bit of fun to play against. The army is about sixty percent painted, though rats are very quick to paint.
The plan is to paint the remaining rat models as black-furred slaves, and continue the basing and unit filler theme of a bombed out city- Mordheim, perhaps, by way of World War II.
The model above is a piece of unit filler, originally used in a unit of Storvermin, (the highest ranking and most well trained of the ratmen warriors, given weapons and armour respectable by human standards, even) the unit now having been broken up to act as champions and guards to characters. Both the Plague Priest and the Stormvermin Guard are still based and are removable from the rat-tank contraption.
Thanks!
