Rat Race – November

What’s this? Only one Skaven this month?! Alas, it is so – despite my plans to get all bar the final centrepiece model completed for the verminous ratmen time simply ran out on me. Rather than concentrating on painting up the last of my Skaven I went out socialising instead when an unexpected opportunity to catch up with some old mates coincided with the window I’d planned to spend finishing up more rats. Time well spent in my opinion, there will always be plenty more time for painting miniatures.

Anyway, despite this I still managed to complete this hulking brute, the third of my four Stormfiends, even if – once again – some hasty late night painting was required to complete him by the end of the month. I adjusted the model slightly, replacing the gun on his chest (which I’ve always thought looked a bit silly) with a Skaven icon.

With him finished there’s just three dirty rats still to go – two of which are at least partly painted. Of course, they’re all big and/or complex models so it won’t be as straightforward as all that, and I’ve only got a month to go before my self-imposed deadline which I’m still determined to meet. Time to crack on!
