Warhammer Fantasy, Pest Control
Finishing the Bodyguard
I’ve now finished the next 20 rats, the Skaven Stormvermin, bodyguards to the warlords.
These were ones that had been fully painted previously, so rather than a full paint job, i just went in and “upgraded” the paint job.
For these, I did fully paint over all of the red and the metal armour on the bodies. This was because these were the two main and most visible colours so it thought they would require the most effort.
Everything else, the skin, fur, weapons etc, i would bring up to scratch through the highlighting.
I wanted to keep the fur dark, because, if i remember correctly from the old lore, Skaven born with darker fur tend to be destined for better things, (being elite troops, warlords and so on). I also didnt rust the weapons as much on these, as, being the elite, they are meant to have the best pick of weapons and armour, but i still kept them a little dirty as they would still have been scavenged/ not well cared for weapons.
I don’t know what will be next. Troops wise, I have either plague monks or Clanrats. I think i will probably go for the plague monks as there are less of them, and they are in a better condition ready to start painting, plus they will be in a different scheme to the Stormvermin above (whereas the clanrats will be in a very similar scheme)
