My Tunnelpack

Zikkit's Tunnelpack are a group of Skaven of Clan Skyre driven by an insatiable hunger for power. At the helm of this chaotic warband is the Warlock Engineer Zikkit Rockgnaw. Accompanying him is his eager apprentice, Rittak Verm, who pilots the deadly Kill-Wheel. The two are supported by a pair of Acolytes: the grim Krittatok and grenadier Nitch Singe-Snout, and the blast-vermin Tik-Tik.

My Jaws of Itzl

The Jaws of Itzl have descended into the mines of Embergard to prevent the plans of their Slann masters from being disrupted. The aggression of these cold-blood warriors has been peaked by the emotion-riven heat of the Emberstone from deep in the mines.

The Jaws of Itzl are made up of Kro-Jax, So-Kar, Ro-Tak and the Venomites.

How I paint - Gloomspite Gitz- Squigs

-
Image
When collecting Gloomspite Gitz it quickly becomes apparent that at some point you are going to paint squigs. This is my take on a classic red squig. Paints required: Wraithbone spray Khorne Red Army Painter Red Tone Averland Sunset Wazdakka Red Squig Orange Lahmian Medium Reikland Fleshwash Screamer Pink Pink Horror Pallid Wych Flesh Zandri Dust Agrax Earthshade Xereus Purple Genestealer Purple Yriel Yellow Druchii Violet .  Kantor Blue Thousand Sons Blue Ahriman Blue Temple Guard Blue . The miniatures were primed with Wraithbone spray. The scheme works over black, but you must build a nice sold layer of red at the start. This was then followed by a basecoat of Khorne Red . I thinned the Khorne Red with a little water. It took a few coats to get a nice solid finish. The miniature was then given a wash with Army Painter Red Tone thinned with a little water. The eyes were painted in with Averland Sunset .  To highlight the flesh, I began with Wazdakka Red . This was then foll...

How I Paint - Skaven - Clan Eshin

As I continue to work through the various Warhammer Underworlds warbands, I finally reached Skittershank's Clawpack. The Clawpack are a group of Clan Eshin Skaven. I decided to paint them in classic scheme of brown fur and black robes. Here is my guide.  More of my  How to paint... articles  can be found here. Undercoats The miniature was undercoated with Chaos Black spray . I then gave the whole miniature a basecoat of Mournfang Brown thinned, with water. Once the basecoat was dry, I gave the fur a very light drybrush with Karak Stone .  This may look a little harsh but the washes will fix this in a later stage. Basecoats The next main step, was to block in all the basecoats on the miniature. I began with the flesh on the nose, ears, hands and feet. This was painted with a 1:1 mix of Bugman's Glow and Cadian Fleshtone . I made sure to feather the edges between the fur and flesh on the hands and feet. The eyes were painted in with Mephiston Red.  The tail was p...

How I paint Rockgut Troggoth

-
Image
When I began painting my Rockgut Troggoths (Stone Trolls), I wanted them to look as though a flesh and blood creature had started to petrify. Most of the stone terrain in my collection is grey with a greenish tinge. This was the colour I wanted to replicate on my trolls. As I was painting my trolls, I made a note of the colours I used but I did not take any pictures, as I never intended to make a guide. After I had finished painting these miniatures, I decided to write up the method, in case I needed it again. Then, I thought I might as well share it. Paints required. Chaos Black spray Mechanicum Standard Grey spray Skavenblight Dinge Dawnstone Lahmian Medium  Athonian Camoshade Agrax Earthshade Administratum Grey Bugmans Glow  Rakarth Flesh Screamer Pink Cadian Fleshtone Stormvermin Fur Kislev Flesh Karak Stone Xereus Purple Mephiston Red Painting flesh of the Troggoth I began by given the miniature an undercoat with  Chaos   Black spray.  This w...
