For my second warband, I decided on Skaven, since one of my long-term goals is do some narrative battle report videos, and Skaven are just sort of such an omnipresent force within WHFB and Mordheim. I also loved the idea of little rat men.
Like my other warbands, I used some Army Painter speed paints as the base colors for these, followed by a brown oil wash with Mr. Weathering Stain Brown, and then details and highlights. For the bases I used broken coffee stir sticks, with the idea that they inhabited a ruined inn near a great square. I used the same Army Painter speed paints I used on my Undead warband.
While I love how they turned out, I enjoyed playing them far less on the tabletop than I did my Undead warband. I have tried a few times, but they haven’t clicked, I suspect I may be playing them wrong, but also I found it harder to get attached to any one individual model in the way that I go attached to my vampire and her dregs.
