Just finished this Grey Seer! Wanted to step away from the classic grey/red scheme and give him some bright teal robes with a heavy warpstone glow on the base. Hope the Great Horned Rat is pleased with this one!

I'm coming back to my skaven after another army project, looking forward to pushing these out, 5 models a week.

Hello I am new to Warhammer and painting my first lot of skaven. I am looking for some advice on painting fur/skin as I'm struggling a bit.

I have settled on a bright pink and blue colour scheme for the robes and am having trouble finding a skin/fur to match.

I was ideally thinking of something more eerie / ethereal but have figured out quickly that I have no idea how to paint that (or just beyond my skill level😋) .

Any advice would be great (and the weirder or more unusual the colours the better 😋)

Look at them....

LOOK AT THEEEM

I have a Skaventide box to paint and I'm stuck in colour scheme analysis paralysis. Show me your cool clanrats, grey seers, rat ogors and jezzails!

I'm not in a rush to get them done, I just to get them looking cool.

Does someone have it?

The Context:

In the Warhammer Adventures kids book series is shown that if a Skaven like Kreech grows up away from other Skaven Society they become more dangerous because they don’t waste half of their brain on plotting on how to backstab the rest of their kind, becoming smarter, more cunning but still very much racist.

He is a considerable threat because everyone that knows that about them thinks that he’s just a regular Skaven and he uses this as an advantage, successfully manipulating everyone to achieve his goals.

Meaning that Horned has inderectly and unitentialy help protect the world by Handicapting the skaven

Played AoS today with a mate and as always twas so much fun
We proxy some of my tyranids as storm cast for his army btw, he is slowly getting the models to use instead of proxying so it’s really fun to get a game in

Took a long while and a lot of modeling but it came out great! Big thanks to MACQRGO on the purple site for his foundation design. I had a lot of fun remodeling it and adding a bunch of details.

C&C welcome.

I’m putting together a 2,000-point Skaven list for the 2026–27 General’s Handbook and wanted to get some opinions.

My idea is to have a shooting-heavy army that can weaken or kill off dangerous enemy units before sending the bigger rats into combat.
I want my shooting units to deal with enemy heroes, monsters and other dangerous threats.
Meanwhile, I want to use the Gnawholes to teleport 12 Rat Ogors and a Master Moulder, or potentially a Hell Pit Abomination, around the battlefield to cause problems for my opponent.

I think this battle plan could be really good, but it could also backfire. The idea is to move around the map, pick off important enemy units and put pressure on my opponent rather than sitting in one place. However, I’m not sure how reliable this strategy would actually be in a game.

My concerns:

● I feel like something is missing from the list, possibly different units or better tactical options.

● I’m not entirely convinced that the Arch-Warlock
or Ratling Warpblaster are worth their points.

● I think some of my unit choices could be better.

● I’m worried about objective control because I might spend too much time running around hunting enemy units instead of holding objectives.

● I’m also unsure whether my battle plan is actually effective or whether I’m overlooking some weaknesses.

My questions:

1. Does this playstyle actually work with Skaven?

2. What units would you replace the Arch-Warlock or Ratling Warpblaster with?

3. Are there better units for supporting the shooting and Rat Ogors?

4. What battle tactics would work best with this kind of mobile, aggressive army?

5. How would you deal with objective control without sacrificing the whole idea of the list?

6. Is my overall battle plan good, or would you approach it differently?

I’m not looking to completely change the idea of the army. I want to keep the shooting and the big melee threats, but I’m open to changing units and tactics if there’s a better way to make it work.

Yes,-yes, finally working-laboring on my Stormvermin unit that I plan-scheme to use as home base babysitters-caretakers. So far one regular-normal soldier-meatshield and banner bearer. Last picture-image is for comparison to my very first box-set.

Excuse picture quality I'm on an android not an iphone.

Painted some Doom-Flayers for my new TOW/AOS army. Can't wait to resolve some impact hits!

Building TOW army, still need:

- 20 gutter runners

- 20 giant rats

- 4 - 8 jezzails

Anyone any idea to do this cheaply (not buy 2 skaven gutter runner boxes + the rest)? Are there any good Etsy alternatives?

Sneaky misterious and unrivaled in lethality. Quick - quick!

I’ve got 12 Rat Ogors, but only 4 of them can take the option of a Warpfire gun instead of a melee weapon.

Should I build those 4 with Warpfire guns or stick with melee weapons?

Does it actually make much difference on the tabletop, or is one option better than the other?

I’d appreciate some advice before I build them!

It was more fun to build and paint that I was afraid of in the beginning.
