Time to get things moving on my foray into the world of fantasy armies! I already have a smallish collection of Skaven collected over the last few years and will be using the equivalent of my monthly ££ allowance drawn from these models. So for my first month the £30 limit will `buy` me the following: 1 box of 20 clanrats £20.50 1 warpfire thrower £8.70 Total: £29.10 saving 90p towards February's amount. As stated, I am not actually buying the models I am just assembling/ painting the equivalent amounts from models already owned. Pics soon! FK

Updates today Paul, couple of hours maybe- the rats will come, oh yes... Edit: No paint yet but ready to paint, just needs the barrel of the warpfire thrower drilling out. FK

Yay! We like pics here! Got a plan to get them done then? Also are those the rats from the boxed game?

Yep they are the rats from the starter set, a friend gave them to me a while back in payment for some commission work, to be honest I never planned on actually building or painting them (although `building` is a bit of a cheat for these lovely 2 part models!) This fantasy pledge on here has given me the kick up the ass to get them done and as soon as I get my hands on some undercoat spray I really look forward to getting some paint on them FK

Eek! Thou hast vermin in thine abode!
I feel compelled to talk you into painting them white with red eyes. Come on, you know you want albino rats. Damn it, I try this with every starting rat player. It has to work eventually!

Cool as it might look, it would be a nightmare!! Maybe one unit, like slaves.

It has to work eventually! The bulk of the rats will be `normal` rat coloured but I seem to remember reading some fluff (rats? fluff? geddit?) somewhere that said the elite units such as stormvermin, the kind of bigger tougher rats that act as bodyguards for grey seers/ warlords are more likely to be albino so, just for you and also for Paul I will paint any stormvermin I get in such a fashion Oh and Paul- I have no intention of using rats as slaves, I intend to use chain-gangs of captured humans and dwarves FK

Stormvermin are actually black, according to the latest army book for them, it's the Seers who are Grey/Albino.

Running a bit behind schedule on these but I have just oil wash shaded 20 clanrats and a warpfire thrower. Once the shade is dry (hopefully tomorrow) I will add snow to the bases and take some pics, then onto the next chunk of the army...
