Skaven warband ready for painting.


My Songs of Blade and Heroes Skaven warband is finally ready for painting. The force makeup consists of a Leader/Hero, Magic User, Beastmaster with 4 giant rat swarms, 2 standard bearers (2 came with the ebay lot I won) and a collection of 9 warriors. I also have 4 old plastic clanrats that will be scouts. They are already nicely painted (not my me) so I haven't pictured them here, but I'm sure they'll make the final group photo.

  1. Not trying to rain on your parade, but aren't giant rats bought individually (not swarms) in Mordheim?

  2. This warband is for the Song of Blades and Heroes ruleset which can use swarms. I've left the largest rats in each swarm (Old Citadel Fiend Factorys mini's) loose so they can be taken off. To be honest this was so they could be used as individual giant rats for dungeon crawls but I could use them for Mordheim as well should/when the need arise. I'll have to get a look at the Mordheim rules and see how this lot can be fit into a warband. It would be nice to have a the flexibility of playing either game. Thanks for the warning.

  3. Ah, sweet. So many rulesets, so little time. Something for me to consider as well (was keeping mine individual for warhammer quest as well ;) )

  6. I've put up my stats and warband design thoughts now, Noel. Feel free to comment as always. I'd be interested to see/hear what you're up to.
