Back with more Skaven, this time a bit more bulky than usual! These are Stormfiends, combinations of Skaven technology and their ability to make really big rats!

These are quite imposing models, and it’s been a while since I’ve painted something this big that wasn’t a vehicle. I quite enjoyed painting the skin as a result and while I still kept things fairly loose and rough, there are a few more steps on these than I did on the other Skaven models.

There is also a lot more armour on these than on anything I’ve painted for the army, so I really got to push the mottled brass look I’ve been doing. This was done as per all the other models but I think shows off the effect in a bit more detail.
Remaining for the army are a few characters, but also two big monsters which will require me to apply some of the learnings I got from painting these models. Should be fun!
Impressive! 🙂

These look great, mate! Having to paint a lot of armor on a Skaven model is a surprising problem to have but I’d say you more than handled it 🙂 These guys look like they will really do some damage on the tabletop as well. Of course, the Skaven need some bulkier troops more than most factions I would think because numbers alone can’t win you every battle!

Thanks Jeff! They definitely need bulkier troops to cut down the number of models I have to paint 😉

They look really good – love the old armour look you’ve achieved. I like the way the brain-rats look as well, nice and creepy – so well done! 😀

Thanks! And yes those brain rats are so creepy! I’d never noticed them in box art and photos in army books so they were a weird discovery for me when I put the kit together.
