After quite the foray into historical subjects, it’s time to get back to my Skaven project! This time the last block of infantry I’m planning on painting for this version of the army: the elite Stormvermin. From now on it’s characters and monsters! Not to say that I won’t paint more infantry in the future however.
I still think of these as the “new” plastics, but they’re fairly old now. Still, very cool models and I really enjoyed painting them. Nothing new from a colour scheme point of view, but to befit their elite status I decided to have all the cloth on them as the teal colour rather than the mix of cream (read dirty white) and teal I have on the rest of the infantry.
I also spent longer on these than I did for the rest of the infantry. They got a few extra highlights to make them pop a bit.
As a nod to the Old World I painted their fur white, which marked out the Stormvermin that served as the bodyguards to the Grey Seers in the old Warhammer setting.
Finishing these has motivated me to keep going on the army, so barring other distractions there should more posts on them soon!

Crikey, these are brilliant, Nicolas! 🙂 The teal colour scheme looks really good and that standard is absolutely spot on!

I can believe that, with the amount of folds it’s got in it! Really does look good! 🙂

I really think these Skaven are going to win some kind of best painted army one day, mate! They’re so striking in pictures and you have a pretty unique and well-executed color pattern. You’re making me a fan of the rat-men and I never really liked Skaven much. I’d much rather have an elf, dwarf, or a lizardman for that matter.

Thanks a lot! Glad you like them, and that I’m changing your opinion of skaven!

Very cool. I haven’t seen Stormvermin (or indeed, skaven) painted in that kind of teal shade before, but you’ve certainly pulled it off very effectively!

Thanks! I do like that colour a lot, I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up painting more armies in it!
