“How are you
liking your new home-box? Are your cells mates keeping you up at night? Oh that
smelly green one? I don’t know his name, he doesn’t speak-speak much, I only know
that he used to lead some smelly group of brutish Orcs, called the winter tribe
or something, I think…
It doesn’t
really matter though, just like them your furless race is soon to be gone
bye-bye.”
A few more
Gutter Runners make an appearance this month, they are the unit I am using to
bulk out the points and I think you will see why I needed to do that at the end
of the post.
So next up
we have a new unit! The only unit in the army to feature non-rusted armour in
fact. My force’s leader’s own bodyguards, the Stormvermin!
So, there is
quite a lot different on these guys than the rest of the army. As I said above
they have non-rusted armour and weapons which is mostly unique in my army (the
Gutter Runners don’t really have armour but their weapons are clean). On top
they have white (but a dirty-white) cloth. Finally their skin and fur are black/grey.
Altogether I was going for a distinct but still unified look that doesn’t look
out of place among the other units. I would be keen to hear if you think I succeeded?
Finally, we
have the unit that I have been dreading the most, Skaven Slaves… why might you
ask? Well mainly because the ten models you see below weigh in at a mighty 27.5
points! Considering that they are a useful re-directer unit and a very
flavourful one for Skaven, you normally want at least a few units of them in an
army. However the thought of painting 40+ models for less than 100 points wasn’t
one I was looking forward to. Therefore, I am targeting a more reasonable single
unit of 25 over the challenge and have started with the ten you see below:
To
summarise, this month’s entry is:
Stormvermin
x10, Halberds, Shields (Inc. Standard and Musician) [144]
Skvenslaves
x10 (Inc. Musician) [27.5]
Gutter
Runners x3, Additional Hand Weapons, Throwing Stars [42]
Total – 213.5
points
I’m pretty
happy with managing to paint 23 models in a month, certainly a record for me. I
think I will take a bit of a break next month and paint some high point models
and maybe a few slaves. Hope everyone in the challenge and watching along at
home is staying safe and healthy.
All hail the
horned rat!
