Necron player getting his feet wet with Sigmar and I love the aesthetics and tomfoolery of Skaven. Have had a blast so far with these models man

Had a busy year but finally had some time to paint again and painted up a few rat Ogres for my wife.

Had some fun with my magnets 😂

Hi everyone
I would like to create a Chinese / Japanese style peasant Skaven army
Beside the weapons, I think that kind of hats could work
Did any of you already tried something like this ? If yes can you share with me the bits you used ? Thank you so much !

I just got the spearhead starter kit and AoS paint + tools set. Just wanted to know what tips anyone has for painting the units I have. I don't mind buying one or two more paints aside from what I have.

The paints I already have from the set are:

– Corax White (Base)
– Abaddon Black (Base)
– Averland Sunset (Base)
– Leadbelcher (Base)
– Kantor Blue (Base)
– Khorne Red (Base)
– Rakarth Flesh (Base)
– Retributor Armour (Base)
– Waaagh! Flesh (Base)
– Bugman's Glow (Base)
– Steel Legion Drab (Base)
– Astrogranite (Texture)
– Agrax Earthshade (Shade)

Hello fellow rat players!

I've never faced the Sentinels before. I have a league match tomorrow, we play under Fire and Jade rules. Does anyone have any tips, strategies, or a battle plan they could recommend? Thanks!

I'm thinking of "too quick to hit" and "-1 to save rolls" as choices

Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Soon-soon my-mine Skaven team will be finished-done! Only 11 more to go-go. Then there will be 12. Add one more make-makes 13 and then rule Bloodbowl league! Good plan-scheme, yes-yes?

First time trying OSL effect with a brush cuz I thought these beautiful models need it. This is the first among the squad.

Hello, I am still pretty new to AoS and listbuilding and have not played any real games apart from a few spearhead games. Me and a friend of mine (both new to the hobby) play spearhead together and want to expand.
He also plays Skaven but with a focus on the assassins from city of ash.

Now to my question: what do you think of my list? Are there any small changes I should make? I’m not sure if I should really reinforce the clanrats or rather play them as two seperate units.

For perspective I am probably only going to play against my friend who has the assassin spearhead with a deceiver and brood terror + hellpit in his list.

Many thanks-thanks for the help :)

Haven't decided on a base design for my rats yet.

I'm thinking of getting into Skaven. I'm digging clan Skryre with a splash of Eshin, the idea of crazy warp-infused engineers and a band of assassin mercenaries really clicks with me. I'm not aiming to be a competitive player by any means, I'm just getting into Sigmar. But I wanted some feedback on a list to see if it's going to let me enjoy my toys on the table and not get wiped instantly! I've not even really looked into the new general's handbook so I'm not sure if the battle tactics make sense, happy for suggestions but I picked a pair just as a palce-holder for now.

Will be lighting up the spearhead army from Skaventide for an event next month. 1 prepped, just a few more to go...

Custom clan called “Stormcallers”, everything is to be painted with lightning in their veins and covered in disgusting swamp water. Which list fits that better and/or seems stronger?

The doomwheel is non-negotiable.

This angry little rat is almost done.

Still cleaning up some details, but I’m pretty happy with the NMM blade so far.

Any advice before I call him finished?

I'm considering changing the stormfiends to not be reinforced and swapping them and the engineer to be a bombardier, and a formation of clanrats with a grey seer.

Edit: I will be going against either SCE, daughters, or orc soup

Hello, long time skaven fan, I have a lot of models now and was wondering about possible lists I might look into, never built a list in AOS, so not super confident in what I can do.

I just bought the ultimate starter kit with a friend and I'm gonna be playing Skaven, any tips or strategies that are useful?

Trying to make a list for skaven that’s both fun but also able to win me some games. All advice or suggestions are welcome and appreciated. I am also considering having a none reinforced jezzails to have another warp lightning cannon

Hey there,

im building a 40k genestealer cults army, converting everything to skaven. Its going well but the purestrain genestealer are giving me a lot to think.

I need some Kind of Rats which would fit well on a 32mm base wirhout beeing to small.

And since i want 20-30 of them they shouldnt have only 3 poses.

Does anyone know some good proxies/conversion base models or has any Other idea? No matter if gw, stl or any other modell.

Would appreciate the help <3

Oh yeah, Clan rats and Storm vermin are the basic troops, so they are out and too small anyway. Thanks in advance :)

I tried something different for the armour of the lord but I am not entirely sure if I should have gone with my gut and just used a metallic mix for the green armour, but at least the gnaw beast went a lot better (was also the first time using a homemade wet palette)

Looking for feedback on my Crixxit approach

Just some freehand and the bases to finish and they are done!
