The Tilean Campaign of Padrissimus has been going on for years.  So have my Morval Earth adventures and campaigns.  Although I have had Skaven since the original metal ones, the plastic ones when the kids played WHFB, and a few gifts and a couple of purchases at bring-and-buy I have not used them in many years. Padrissumus' narratives inspired me to do something with them and so over the past few weeks I have restored and rebased most of the vintage plastic figures and built and painted the new ones.

The Big Rat Commander


The Rat Ogre


The Clans









The Midnight Runners (Dexziz?)


The Scouts


And even more to come!

That’s very cool! There’s alway room to add Skaven to fantasy projects and Padrissimus’ project is an excellent source of inspiration.

Great Horde!

I always have had a soft spot for those single pose spearmen.

Great figures, and I am very happy to have inspired you to work on them. Despite losing an entire army, the skaven are growing in power in our campaign!

Love the blue scheme - with the mix of shields and fur colours it appears a very varied force despite being generally the one pose. I got a handful of the first lead rats and never liked painting them - not enough skill at the time, mostly - so I never did do a Skaven force.  Must look away...must look away... o_o

Skaven are looking good!

I noticed the Morval Earth site seems to have disappeared. Has it just moved or us it closed?

I am afraid it has gone.  Our club gradually reduced over the Covid lockdowns to just two of us and I was the youngest at 72 and the other member is 84 and never recovered.  It was no longer sustainable and more work and expense than enjoyment. 

I still have all the material on file if you want anything.

Perhaps you can also find a webarchive version of it (given you know the basic website name): https://web.archive.org/

Another Regiment.  This time one of elite white Snow Skaven.  All the same monopose figure with conversions the front row have converted weapon arms and the right file as you look at them have glaives made from wire and plastic blades.

They look great! I also like how you've based your minis so they can rank/mob up tightly- was that for a particular game or just because you like it?

As Frugalmax says they are really great. That 20 by 20 base, rank and file, crammed together look is exactly how we do things in 8th edition Warhammer fantasy battles (which my campaign is stuck in) but it would be the same for all the previous seven editions too.
