SkavenTide and Beyond
Ratling Warpblaster
I built and primed this model in two halves. The top half sprayed silver and the bottom half Lazer cut brown spray. I somehow got confused during construction of the bottom half with the 4 clan rats pushing the gun along. I forced a part into a poor position and broke part of the front wheel. I made a bodge fix and it looks ok.
I could've potentially added another sub assembly stage to make painting easier, but having the top half available to turn upside down gave me the access I needed to avoid some problems. I wasn't troubled with missing parts of the gunner's clothes and gears and hard to get machinery.
I am keeping a theme of yellow purple and red as my go to colours for clothing, though I don't think that meets the "hereldry" of any of the known clans from the Skaven background.
The basing theme of a mix of grey urban flock and brown flock looks interesting enough. The occasional tuft and sprue brick / masonry work is also going to be a recurring theme. Some of the lovely detailed bases that come with some hero models suggest fighting through ruins so I try to keep that going through the rest of my force.
