Big Rat, Strong Rat

Today I spent a chunk of time working on the Rat Ogres and Packmasters, and got them all done! I was quite surprised that I managed to do it frankly, but they ended up looking really nice. I did need to change the base on one of the Rat Ogres, but the end result is really good (I think, anyway):

Grargh! The gun on the middle one doesn't have any rules (I think it's an 8th Edition thing) but it does look cool which is important

After taking this photo I realised I hadn't painted the stitching on the wrist of the middle one's top left hand, but that's been fixed now. The sculpted fur is quite crude but it paints up alright I think

Back view - I like the carved rune on the back of the Island of Blood one on the left,  and you can really see the difference between the multi-part plastic one in the middle and the two Island of Blood monopose ones

Warpstone ick! Tesseract Glow is a wonderful paint for that purpose

The packmasters! I have used mustard yellow to signify Clan Moulder in much the way I've decided to use a dark red to signify Clan Skryre

These are all multipart ones from the multipart Rat Ogre kit rather than the Island of Blood

Although none of these can be champions or anything in the rules, in my head the middle one is the boss rat for the whole Rat Ogre pack

A better view of the thing-catcher and rust on the metals

With the Rat Ogres done, I'm now in a position where I'm not sure what to paint next - I haven't got anything that's already undercoated other than a bunch of Stormvermin, so I might do those, or I might undercoat the Jezzail teams and do some more Clan Skryre nonsense. I probably won't be doing anything tomorrow as my partner P and I are going to go and see Skunk Anansie!
