Made it back safely from the U.S. and as March dawns I'm now way behind on my painting challenge!
So without further ado I present to you the Chaos Spawn Avengers... The What?... Yes well I seem to have accidentally painted homages to various Marvel Avengers whilst creating this squad.
Honest...
Picture Proof? Well why didn't you ask?
| Avengers Assemble! |
| Iron Spawn |
| Wolverine |
| Hawkeye |
| Quicksilver |
| Hulk |
| Spider-Spawn |
Oh and Miles - as I've painted a Hulk does that mean I get extra points for painting a Banner? I'll get my coat...
Whilst the Avengers are busy Assembling I also managed to paint the little element for this week. Here is a Skaven Packmaster
Normally he sits on a 25mm base but I'm planning to base all Leaders in the Pentagram Army on 40mm bases. He looks lost on a 40mm base so I found something for him to stand on!
I'm quite pleased with how he has come out considering he only had a couple of base colours on this morning!
You're probably thinking that the title of Packmaster suggests he has a pack to be master of. Right? Well for those not keen on rodents with long tails I would recommend looking away now.
Still here? Good.
Meet the Pack!
| 32 Giant Rats skittering along |
There are 5 varieties of Rat in this pack including Black, Brown and White. Well I didn't want to get bored painting up 32 rats with the same colour scheme!
And here is the Packmaster surveying his brood.
| In the land of the Rat the Packmaster is King! |
For scoring purposes I will of course leave that to the wonderful Miles, however, some size aid just in case!
Everything is 28mm scale.
Rats = 6mm = 0.5 pts * 32 = 16
Spawn = 40mm = 7 pts * 6 = 42
Packmaster = 28mm = 5
For a lovely total of 63 points.
So that should take me just over half-way to my target with only 2 weeks remaining. Well. That's going to be a challenge isn't it?
MilesR: really cool and spooky minis - I must say the rats gave me a bit of a shiver - not a fan of the real things but really like your rendition. I'll run with your point total but will score the rats as 10mm figs as there's a good bit of details on the tiny things. That'll net you 79 points in total.
Fantastic stuff, those avengers aren't quite the ones from the films ;) I shall look forward to getting overrun by rats!
ReplyDeleteVery, very cool. Those spawn are just terrific but that Packmaster on his vile boogieboard is the bomb. Wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteI'm always a fan of swarms, and giant rats are no exceptions!
ReplyDeleteEwe! those look great and very disgusting. I won't show this one to my wife :)
ReplyDeleteNo mauve rats?
ReplyDeleteGreat work - these are the best "Avengers" I've seen... :)
Nasty, brutish and a great post!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Very cool. Spawn for the spawn god. and Swarms for the swarm god. Great stuff. cheers
ReplyDeleteI love those rats, big and small!
ReplyDeleteNice work Nick :)
ReplyDeleteNice work Nick, but I won't sleep tonight.
ReplyDelete32 rats is a lot of rats. Lovely nasty models.
ReplyDeleteThe Spawn are simply ace! i really like the style you went with them. My favorite is the packmaster. Not only does he have that wonderful skaven shepard crook, but you doid a great job on him! i think that pole helps him fit on that base!
