Ratskin renegades #3 (finished) 🐁

Looks like I've managed to get the second part of the rat-pack done! 🐁
Which is quite an achievement for me - usually after painting ~10 similar models I am getting bored enough and switch the project for something else. But not this time! Eeeek! Eeeek! Eeeek!

As you can see I was trying to keep the most similar possible color scheme to the previously painted rat-men. Which frankly wasn't that hard task, since my choice of paints is pretty limited. This time the group also contains 2 chief models, another shaman and the rat ogre, so tried to give them some special touch ups to make them pop a bit among all that vermin fur around. Old and well tested trick to do so was arming da boss with "power blade" - it's quite easy to paint actually. For example earlier such weapons were given to Mishima's demon hunter, mounted wight lord, master necromancer and chaos champion.

Just like before I painted another rat swarm base from Highland Miniatures range. I can clearly imagine shamans summoning rabid giant rats to aid them in combat. Also I found idle rat ogre model on the very bottom of Games Workshop bucket. I got it pretty long time ago but until now had no idea how to use it properly - the other one was painted as Blood Bowl player, but it I remember correctly - it's been used only once in the game. Hopefully it's rat-brother will see some more action as chief's personal bodyguard.

So here they are - emerging from the Ashlands vault. Picture of whole family will appear when I can get proper display base for all models (hopefully soon):

      na miejscu wygląda na to że to ja muszę malować całe pole bitwy więc dla szczurowatych przewidziana jest rola heretyków w Warzone 1.0...

  3. Great idea to include a rat Ogre as a mutant. The scheme just translates so well across large models as well as small.

    I am also glad I've managed to pull that through. The base is no under planning stage and cannot wait to see that winally done!
