Hunter just dropped off the latet shop project to me. Take a look and tell me what you think:

He looks excellant in the flesh, as it were

Anyone who paints that poorly should just give up the hobby! :lol

Another nice piece of work by Hunter.
Some detail pics would be nice but it does look great!

Silly point (as always)
its not a model that you can increase much by using all your skills, its silly expensive pre paint and if my web sense is correct this is one of the most homebrewed fantasy models out there (get any model from any model range that looks big and odd and doesn't cost £30 throw skaven spares at it, paint it decently job done). This is only helped by each upgrade relating it to a different faction (thus how its modelled apparently cuts out different chunks of skaven buyers..like sticking tzeencth blessings on a rhino)
Just saiyan if the shop sells it on for more than a fiver I'll be homebrewing one- but as a tight ass I was probably going to do that anyway

That drooling rant aside its a lovely paint job, love how the underbelly and fat rolls came out.

Kind of(large target and terrifying), I haven't played yet(looks to dragons tears fantasy lot to correct most of the following), but its their biggest non vehicley thing..
They have ogres..plague abominations appear to be a newish unit that just from stats look very similar to doomwheels, they do have some nice rules, inc "TOO F&(**(*& DISGUSTING AND F*(*£$@:'d UP TO DIE", where if you kill it either the rats eating it climb out or it gets back up..hence it being very easy to fluffwise scratch build any old stuff.

He's referring to how fugly the model is I believe.

When I was this model I immediately started thinking of collecting a nurgle army

Thanks for the painting complements. It is a dificult kit to asemble. Yes I just sed that! But 1nts you now how it go's together its not so bad. And for chaos thinkers out ther I recon I might just beable to make one look like a chaos spawn. Maybe after Iv done some sculpting and 2 Storm ravens.
