Nicely done. Fits together very well. And messing around with bones - you're a braver man than I!

And here's a better quality photo of the bow-women, with the eyes painted

While I'm painting figures I've been working on some small terrain pieces which are useful in skirmish games like Frostgrave and SoBH. They are not based as I might use them for dungeons or add them to other bases.

Water troughs
These are just made from Balsa wood and filled with resin water with a little bit of brown ink added. Nice and simple but effective.

The other trough was made using spare bits from my collection and the water pipe is actually a 1/72 Panther exhaust!

Thanks for looking

Cheers

Here are some other pieces I finished. These are just straight Reaper Bones pieces that I painted. The 2 statues and fountain were mounted on washers and blended into the blend with some putty.

Nice models and good value.

Statues (useful for dungeoning our general fantasy scenery)

Fountain/Pool (Another nice model which I added resin water to)

Sarcophagus (A simple paint job but looking at photos of other painted examples I might paint the inside better) :blush:

Time to catch up on my progress with the Skaven I've pained in the last couple of months.

3 of the older metal Gutter Runners (out a unit of 10 I am painting). Lovely models and I'm a big fan of the older Skaven models.

A packmaster from the Island of Blood set. Some nice detailing but I find the definition of the fur very poor. I might start adding some green stuff to these guys to match the fur on the older metal models. I'm currently painting the hero from the IOB set and cant get the fur looking good.

Sorry I've been distracted with other periods and haven't updated this in a while.

Here's the second lot of Skaven Gunner Runners from GW. More of the lovely older style metal models.

More soon once I edit the pictures

Very nice work. Really like the terrain you've been making and the skaven look great.

Lots of progress with the Skaven but then again, there is a lot more to paint! I still have more to photograph and post as this is my main painting focus at the moment.

I finished the the last 4 Gutter Runners to make a 10 man units and the last 5 Clan rats to make a 20 figure unit of them!

And the whole unit skirmishing among some ruins

And the first 20 figure unit finished

Thanks for looking

Love your work, 6mm. And those water troughs are ADORABLE. If you don't mind me expressing it that way.

6mmfan · « **Reply #114 on:** May 21, 2016, 12:02:27 PM »

Thanks.

I've started on a new regiment of clanrats and here's the first 7. Same style as the other figures (and colour palette) but these all have hand-weapons instead of spears.

Thanks for looking

This thread is fantastic!

You're noticing a lot of the same issues that I've encountered with Reaper Bones. It's a great material for larger monsters and beasties, but on smaller, more delicate figures it creates serious issues. I've started to steer clear of it for all but the biggest figures. Happily that's where its overall economy comes in handy. Bones figures are so cheap!

Anyway, let me be the first to encourage you to do MORE TERRAIN after this bout of Skaven sickness has left your body.

Thank you. Yes I want to return to making more terrain very soon. I'm planning some classic GW style cottages and other buildings.

Meanwhile I've been working on some Skaven conversions and I have converted a few figures into characters.

I got these Derros figures as part of a Reaper Bones kicsktarter and they didnt really appeal to me. However I thought they would make good Skaven filler troops as they are a similar size so i kept them. Luckily the Reaper bones is a softish plastic and is easy to convert.

Skaven Sorcerer (Grey Seer)
A easy conversion with a new head, tail and spare Skaven and Kroot bits. My green stuff skills on the horns is not brilliant, but the figure has come out great.

Before

After

Skaven Leaders
I am a bit short on Leader for my Clanrats and being a cheap bugger, I decided to convert these to heroes. With some careful slicing and dicing I finished up with these two figures. One has a Gutter runner cloak while the other is made from green stuff which is hard to see well. The rest is spare from my Skaven plastics. Unfortunately I noticed when i was editing the photos that the dude on the right has his arms glued on the wrong side of the body!

Comments etc welcome

That is some SPLENDIDLY IMAGINATIVE conversion work...the Bones never looks so good before! OUTSTANDING WORK!

More Skaven conversions
These are the older Skaven (4th edition I think) which I picked second hand and they are great figures with lots of character. But there is only one pose so I decided to try and modify some of them, as I have lots of spare arms left over from my other Clanrats and Plague monks. The conversion is pretty easy as you can snip off the arm underneath the cloth and and cut a spare arm to the same length. I also did some minor greenstuff changes and added hoods to a few figures and chopped off the existing hoods on a few figures. The shields are a mix of newer clanrat shields and along with some scratchbuilt from plasticard as the figures didn't come with shields.

Standard bearer and Musican
I wanted some command figures to match my clanrats but I didn't want to splash out buying metal figures so I used my bits box to convert these standard troopers. Again this is a pretty simple conversion. I hacked away the left arm with a pair of side cutters and a knife and used some spare arms from my Plague monks. The replacement arms are quite bulky so they hide any messy bits, but the plastic is pretty soft and easy to cut with a sharp knife. I'm pleased with how these came out and they obviously match in well with the rest of the unit!

That grey Seer is great. Is that a missing eye?
