Skaven Scuttling

While I'm finishing the battlewagon I thought I'd post some old photos showcasing some of my skaven army. This was my first 'speed' attempt at non metalic metals, and I decided to base them on sewer themed bases using water effects.

Enjoy!

An Empire Distraction

Happy Thursday everyone :)

Today I thought I'd take a bit of a trip down (a non-Ork-y) memory lane.

I had a long break from fantasy, and when I got back into it after ~5 years the Army i choose to do this with was The Empire. My reason for this was the conversion potential and the love of steampunk artwork. The theme I chose was 'Insect Steampunk' (which was justified by fluff). It was heavily converted, using a lot of greenstuff and tin-can. I speed built and painted the army (<4 months) for a Tournament in 7th ed, and despite the rushed paint job it bagged 'Best painted army'.

So here are a few pictures:

Some mechanical insect cavalry:

The Wizard:




I have loads more photo's of individual unit's/close-ups, if requested I could do a more indepth post.
Hope you haven't minded the non-ork distraction! More Ork's soon I promise :)
