SKAVEN PLAGUE MONKS


a couple of months back i managed to nab a few sprues of various skaven stuff for only a couple of quid. one of those sprues consisted of 5 plague monks and some giant rats
well i actually managed to do 6 plague monks because one of them is actually a pack master thingy.
that came on a sprue of 3 pack masters and some giant rats. so of course between the 2 sprues i was able to add to my skaven bestiary 3 times over. consisting of about 12 giant rats
6 plague monks and 2 pack masters. so not bad for a couple of quid.
now ive got a very minor gripe with the GW plague monks in that they all look like an old gypsy woman.
so i tried to minimalize this a little by sculpting the hoods to make them look like they were part of the robes and in turn make the heads look a little less 'stuck on'.
Anyways. im quite happy how these turned out really






now my skaven pack seems to be growing a little more. i think its about time i started adding a few characters into the fray.
i still have the rest of the island of blood skaven to paint up. as well as a few other characters ive purchased and not yet had chance to get painted up yet. im also considering trying my hand at a little converting. ive got so many skaven floating around im sure i can stretch them out even more. the poses of the clanrats are kind of hard to do much with. but im sure ill be able to cook something up.

till next time :)

  1. Really nice painting on those Plague Monks - & your horde of Skaven looks suitably horrifying!

  2. its getting there slowly. the main reason for focusing on skaven was to nail down the advanced heroquest bestiary in an updated format. so still got a few more to get through before i can say that the horde is complete :) but thanks for the compliment. its much appreciated :)
