Thanks!

That sculpt predates warhammer fantasy?

No, he's from 1989's Advanced Heroquest, so about six years after Warhammer. But the Skaven didn't appear until 1986, I think, after the publication of the second edition. I reckon these ones were roughly the fourth iteration, with two metal ranges and the Warhammer Regiments box coming first.

Thanks! Wish I had a copy of 1989 heroquest ...

I should note that I'm planning to do something a bit more exciting with the bases once I've got a whole lot done (even if just the picking out of a few details and washes here or there to indicated marshier bits).

SO I was looking for a bit of motivation/inspiration; ergo, I started scanning your thread...all one hundred thirty five pages. It was a WONDERFUL experience; two hours well spent. Your work is amazingly imaginative, & beautifully done. I feel renewed. OUTSTANDING STUFF!

Thanks very much, all!

More lovely work. Those conversions are great. Where is that huge Gnoll from? Or is it a conversion as well. It looks familiar.
