| Warmaster: The Skaven Year(s) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It has taken me two years or so since I was introduced to Warmaster to get around to even start painting an army. I have chosen Skaven to start with which may or may not be a bright move - lots of miniatures needed, a few quirky rules, no cavalry, no missile weapons, and last but by no means least I have never really painted a rat figure to my satisfaction. With all of that going for/against me, I finally picked up a brush and started painting the Screaming Bell miniature. In a way, this is the last figure that I should be trying out as: it is the army general, it requires a large number of troops for it to be usable, and I am still getting to grip on how (not) to paint skaven... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Based and ready for action, the Screaming Bell with Grey Seer atop will be the general of my army when the army actually is finished. Realistically it will be a while before it is useful as I don't see it being practical to purchase for low point games. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| To the right and left are the first finished troops. Not much point-wise, but they are a start. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |

| This is how things look as of this point - a couple of rat swarms, a unit of clan rats and two warp fire cannons in addition to the characters and the screaming bell. As far as points go, I probably have 4-6 times and many points in characters than I do in troops now, but it is doubtful that any more characters will be needed. |

| Grey Seer in front (or Wizard when the Screaming Bell comes into its own) and 4 heroes On the left are two clan Skyre Heroes, the one in back has a ratling gun. Clan Moulder is represented in the back right and Clan Eshin on the front right. Clan Moulder and a Warlord Clan figure are on the paint table currently. |

| There is another pack of Clan Rats on the paint table as well as a few more characters, but when those are done - time to get more troops. I am not sure whether the next batch of miniatures will be more generic troops or whether I will start getting the clan specific ones. I know that each of the clan heroes will want a few troops to back him up as this is a game about the troops not the characters. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Despite the recent activity, don't expect miracles on this page as I forsee it progressing slowly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
