However, the original boxed set of these models contained two of one and one of the other, so one is considerably rarer than the other. There are two different sculpts for these players and Ideally I’d have liked to have had two of each. Skaven Gutter Runners are the fastest players in the game. I have therefore painted them with black fur rather than the usual brown. Some editions of the rules have referred to these players as Stormvermin, who are a separate caste of black-furred Skaven within the Warhammer background.
Slightly tougher and better-armoured than the average Skaven are the Blitzers. I decided to correct this omission and added the missing teeth with putty.
I have supplemented these models with various others, some from GW, some from elsewhere.Īs ever, the core of the team are the Linemen (or Linerats).įor some reason, two of the three sculpts were lacking the prominent rodent incisors that are usually found on Skaven models. I have at least one of each of the fourteen sculpts that were released for the team. While I don’t dislike the current plastic team, I do think that these older models have a bit more character to them. The team mostly consists of the 3rd-edition models, sculpted by Gary Morley. However, I never completely abandoned the project, and at last it is entirely finished! So here they are, my fully painted Skaven team, Furry Fury! Once I had a playable Chaos team I turned my focus back to the Skaven, but progress remained slow as the months passed. But I also just found that I wasn’t as motivated to paint things as frequently as I had been, and I went from spending nearly every other evening painting to only doing any once or twice a week, to only every two or three weeks. One thing that held up progress with the Skaven was starting another team of Chaos Chosen in May. I just needed to add a few reserves and a handful of Star Players and sideline staff and I’d be all done. It took less than two weeks before I had a playable team of twelve models painted and ready to go.
At first, it seemed like the Skaven would be finished pretty quickly. One thing that delayed things was that before it was finished, I started work on a Skaven team. That took me a bit longer: around three months. Last year, I painted up a Dwarf Blood Bowl Team in about a month.
