Man, It's been a slow year for minis so far! I never seem to have any time to paint, but I have managed to finish out the balance of my Clan Moulder forces! I now have as many Clan Moulder Beastmasters as the army list allows together with thirty giant rats and eight rat ogres!
In addition to the latest packs of beasties and handlers here is Beastmaster Thrattle, who commands all the Clan Moulder contingents in The Flea Fell. I intend to field him as an independent lvl 20 hero...armed with an ensorcelled goodie or two...
Rat Ogres are one of the meanest things going in the Skaven army, and they gobble up a lot of points, which is helpful when you're trying to get an army together.
Grrr…
I already have another two of each of these models in the horde...GW only produced two rat ogre castings...
...so to add a splash of variety I went with these fellows for Rat Ogres #s 7 & 8. They are old Grenadier models, sold as "Giant Wererats" and sculpted by Julie Guthrie, I think.
They have a slightly more refined, sophisticated air about them but I suppose we can forgive them for that. They are just the right size, and I think they fit in nicely.
Ack! More giant rats! I always loved the look of enormous Andy Chambers' giant rat pack and wanted one of my own. A great swarm of thirty of the little devils should be fun to field.
Plus the models have a lot of character and are fun to paint.
Eek! Eek!
"Willard! There's rats in the basement!"
Last three beastmasters I'll ever paint. Makes me a little misty, as I've always enjoyed working on them. I do have a couple of others that I use as drivers for my skaven slave regiments....
I think I'll call this one...Socrates!
