Skaven Battle Standard Bearer
« on: February 23, 2011, 01:36:51 PM »
I built/converted and painted this last weekend for my mate's half of our Doubles team for the tournament we went to on Monday......we realised he didn't actually have a BSB model until Thursday last week so pressure was on.  Would like to think that the pressure didn't show and the end result was quality.



Now I intend to sell this on ebay as I have no need for smelly ratman :)

Even as a Guy who isn't into Rat Folk, I've got to say that is BEAUTIFULLY painted & based. I'm sure you'll do well on e-Bay.

I agree with DeafNala.  Very nice work, I'm sure you'll get a good price for the figure.

Great stuff - even if I am a stickler for the old Jes Goodwin sculpts!

Nice looking mini, really like the banner weathered effect and the glowing green.

Looks good. BSBs are pretty much required now in Warhammer, which is the way is should be.  They should center the army, visually and tactically.

Drop me a line when he goes up on eBay - - I'll certainly put in a bid.  No way I could do a banner that nice.

@ DeafNala & Alxbates

Thanks guys, fingers crossed :)

@ Thantsants

Thanks, not into rats at all myself although I do like their close ties to Japan (myself being covered in dragon tattoos and looking rather like a yakuza) but thats where is stops for me....chaos all the way baby!

@ AndrewBeasley

You should seek professional help then  lol  I take it you appreciate the model then matey

@ Damien

it's like talking to myself  :o  Thanks mate

@ Dr. Kevin Moon III esq

Thanks mate

@ Sangennaru

Thanks mate.  I would say buy it for yourself but your in Italy and I tend not to ebay to Italy due to import problems in Italy, unless they have sorted them out that is.

@ Muskie

Strangely enough though I never took one for my Nurgle Army but then nothing runs away unless I want it to in that army as it's either fast cav or frenzied :D

But I totally agree in the majority of armies they are of vital importance, it was to my friend's part of the doubles tournament army anyway and the benefit of the Banner of Storms he took as the magic banner on it was exceptional.

@ mweaver

I will send you a PM once I pop it on there, I am just waiting to see if ebay do a "no insertion fee" weekend this weekend as I tend to post an auction then an hour later get an email saying no fees this weekend! followed by a little voice in my head screaming "Bastards!" even though it is such a small amount I am a massive skinflint.

hum, now i was thinking about something a bit OT:

"skaven battle standard" could also bean the average level of painting of a skaven amry  wich is far from this level! :D

ok, let me propose a game:


until 12:00PM of the 10 march (CET) we should guess ONE price that the mini will award.
it is allowed to bid for increasing the price! :)

we in italy had a tv program similiar to this... ^_^ when i was a child!

haha did they replace it with name the age of Silvio Berlusconi's next girlfriend?  That guy is my hero!  Our MPs in the UK use their powers to get their moats clean and their mortgages paid.....he uses his to have sexy time with some proper beautiful women

But I reckon everyone should play your game, put a bid in and make me rich!

By the way whats the prize mate?
