The best Skaven base ideas

Bases, bases – why they bother me that much… Bases for my war games miniatures were always pain in the ass for me. I want the best bases, I’m kind of total top quality freak. Painting job should be top, and bases obviously as well. But when it comes to bases of my miniatures, there’s small problem. Every time I manage to finish one more miniature, I almost imminently jump to next one. I just skip the base, thinking: later, later. I’ll fix this some other day. When I travel, my minis look like that: I don’t even try to paint the base. My collection, back there in Poland, doesn’t look much better. Most of miniatures’ bases have just green coat. Some of them have added little grass and sand. You can call me lazy, you can call inpatient. It’s probably true, but there is one more thing I’m struggling with, when it comes to basing my army. I’ d like to have all my miniatures top notch look. Including bases. The only problem is, …

My little travelling Skaven Swarm

I’d like to summarize what is currently happening in my life. Right now, me and my wife are on the road. We started our trip in October 2014 with first stop in Cancun, Mexico. So far we visited Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. We will be travelling until May 2015, and we are going back to Poland. During this 7 months I have limited possibilities to buy new wargaming stuff – I have only those 28 mm  miniatures, paints and brushes I took from Poland in October. And what I exactly I took? 13 metal Stormvermins from Warhammer Fantasy 5th Edition 1 metal Skaven Warlock Engineer WHFB 6th Edition 1 metal Warpfire Thrower WHFB 5th Edition 1 metal Ratling Gun WHFB 6th Edition 1 metal Clan Rat – 4th or 5th Edition WHB 1 plastic Skaven Clan Moulder Pack Master from Island of Blood 1 of plastic Island of Blood Rat Ogres plus Wolsung Skirmish Steampunk Game Oak & Shield Lady Ellendeanne Wolsung Oak & Shield Sir Zachary Fiercebatten III with his dogs …

Totallly unexpected post – Warhammer End Times: Vermintide!

I supposed to write little bit more about my miniatures and plans I have for the future, but… …few days ago I read some unexpected news. New game called: Warhammer: Vermintide was announced. It’s going to be first person slasher, with lots of angry Skavens involved. And what can I say, as a totally geek about Skavens and all that is skavenish – I’m so freaking happy about releasing this game. Even though, usually I prefer to play strategies or good old fashion RPG. But in this case – because of hordes of ratmen – I’m happy like 7-years-old boy! You see? Rats! Lots of Rats! Skaven army form Warhammer Fantasy Bttle was one of the first army I started to collect. I absolutely got crazy about the fluff. And right now I’m still total Skaven nerd. SO Vermintide is just simple nerdgasm for me. I can’t wait for this game (it going to be released in second part of 2015)! I will slash rats from right to left. Kill them and kill them again! …
