About the Project
Rats! Glorious Rats! One of the most characterful and fun armies in Age of Sigmar. This is my ongoing work creating a Clan Verminus army - basically a swarm of rats all looking for a good fight.

Tournament Time!
I’ve just finished 2 days at Southcon (possibly the southernmost wargame tournament in the world!). We had 12 great players and a wide range of armies and tables. We had an absolute blast, and I came back with a surprise haul…
Trophies for Sportsmanship and Judges Choice in the painting competitionNeedless to say I’m pretty happy with this! My painting entry was my Grey Seer, which is such a fun miniature to paint.
Below are a few photos from the games. We were playing 1000pt Vanguard scenarios, with terrain rules (you really should play those rules, they add a lot) on 4’x4′ tables. I ended up with a 2-3 record and had the chance to play against some new players and the eventual champion – and I have to say Age of Sigmar players as a whole are pretty awesome.
Playing Chaos Daemons on a table that made my eyes water
Clan Rats showing no fear!
Stormvermin doing what they do - annihilating enemy units
Rushing a shooty Stormcast army
Storming a fortress, only to leap down the otherside and wipe out an unsuspecting chaos warband
The last battle - the battle for the Pub (aka "The Horny Rat")
My Warlord heard there was only one keg left at the pub, and he literally sacrificed his army to (almost) get there...The grass is greener...
Tournament time this weekend, and while I won’t have the army finished there’s a reasonable amount of paint on everything. But there was something missing…
So I’ve added grass, tufts and leaves for a bit of an autumn feel. There’s a little yellow flock in there too to reinforce the autumn colours. The leaves are (I believe) from a birch tree.
Fluff! Er, um, Lore!
I’m not sure they like it to be called “Fluff” these days, but I’ve been thinking a bit about what motivates my army to fight and where they came from. Don’t expect any Pulitzer-winning material here, but it’s nice to have a sense of the army having a purpose and being a living, breathing thing (apologies to any Death players 😀 )
Anyway, as part of my preparation for a tournament next week, I bring you the story of ‘Arry ‘Ardnutt and the Defenders of the Horny Rat, feel free to offer any thoughts / criticism!
