Leader of the Pack

Following on from my recent posts on 3d printing, I feel it only fair to mention that there has been a lot of time to kill whilst waiting for the magic to happen.

This has given me plenty of time to churn through some neglected projects, such as my Age of Sigmar Skaven.

I don't play Age of Sigmar. I've never played Age of Sigmar. I don't even have any firm plans to play Age of Sigmar in the future.

However, last year I decided to try to make an Age of Sigmar force using only the models that I've had sitting unloved for about thirty years. Initially I focused on trying to emulate the Spearhead force and so I've managed to complete a Grey Seer, two units of 10 Clanrats and three Rat Ogres.

However, in the absence of the other models needed to complete the Spearhead, I've decided to switch focus and aim at just completing a 1000 point force using whatever I have available.

First up is this Master Moulder made from an old metal Clan Moulder Packmaster which I think I originally bought to use as a Blood Bowl head coach.

To make him stand out from the crowd amongst the tide of vermin, I've not only based him on an appropriately larger base and painted him in Clan Moulder colours, but I've also based him with a rodent of unusual size, which I believe came with him when he was first bought.

The rat (rous?) is too big to use alongside other Giant Rat models I own, but definitely suits the idea of being a Clan Moulder bred aberration.

As we're moving away from the Spearhead rules to the main army list, I also need to increase both Clanrats units from 10 to 20.

As before, these are Advanced Heroquest monopost plastic Skaven and were painted in exactly the same slapdash manner as the rest, focusing on contrast paints and washes.

I still have another 10 to do for the second units, but it's not a task that's too onerous and I will probably have plenty more time to kill waiting for other things to print.
