Title: Skaven Warband (Oldhammer style)
Post by: stone-cold-lead on June 12, 2014, 09:22:16 AM
I recently finished this little painting commission. Some great old models and in my opinion the best Skaven sculpts Citadel have put out to date. The giant rats are from a later era and one ratman is apparently from a different manufacturer. Basing was modelled by the client. Great fun to paint. This time I didn't 'cheat' when it came to doing the shield designs so that's all freehand, which isn't saying much considering it's one of the simplest designs I could have picked.  lol

Beautiful work! I had all of these back when I was a teenager, but they never looked that good... :-*

 :) Another wonderful batch of painted minis from Stone-Cold-Lead. I found a stash of these guys hiding in a get-around-to-it box recently. I didn't want to stop what I was working on so I set them aside. Now I have an urge to dig them out again. That dragon is never gonna get done.

The Old Rat Guys are WONDERFULLY painted & BEAUTIFULLY based. They are sure to make your patron happy...ecstatic would be more likely. VERY WELL DONE!

Great work. 

A few years ago I got lucky at a convention flea market.  A guy was selling a brownie pan full of painted 3rd edition Skaven for $60.  There were easily 60 models including four of the old rat ogres.  $60 was an awesome deal for those figs but I couldnt resist a bit of haggling and I talked him down to $50. :)

Damn fine work. The shields are fantastic.

I'm even impressed by the goat!!! Subtle fur and the eye is perfect.

Amazing work! And if you can do freehand like that, simple design or not, it looks like you don't need to cheat!
