Swing, Censer, Swing

As predicted, the smelly and sickly priests of Nurglitch didn't take too long to finish off, and I now have a five-strong little band of deranged censer-swinging plague rats just chomping at the blue brain to gas some hapless dwarfs or foolish humans (or themselves):

Five doesn't seem like a lot, but they can have an outsized effect (or kill themselves at the worst possible moment, in true Skaven fashion)

I really like how the robes came out, particularly the use of two tones to differentiate between the hoods and the rest of the robes

I didn't bother highlighting the bandages to make them seem dirtier

The verdigris on the bells and censers is meant to be from the poison gas that seeps from the censers

There's only three different sculpts here but they do look different enough thanks to the paintjob that you can't really tell straight away

Having done that, I cracked on with the clanrats from the 1987 Warhammer Fantasy Regiments set, and the Grey Seer:

The clanrats are almost as old as I am! The Grey Seer on the other hand is a positive stripling, first released in 1992 with the Screaming Bell kit

I should absolutely be able to get these squeaking terrors done over the next day or two, which then means I'll be hand-undercoating 40 Clanrats, a Warpfire Thrower team, and three Jezzail teams before working on them over the next week or so.

Painting Points:
Today: 5
This Week: 8
2025: 230
