My brother Skaven Team (conversions)

Post by Sir-Skofis »

I think this kind of conversions for the skaven team is rather common but none the less I show it to you as there are some original aspects.
Image

This team was made entirely by my brother and he was so involved with it that he converted it and painted it before I could take any shots of the pre-painted miniatures.

Almost every miniature came from the Warhammer Fantasy Skaven Night Runners. But there are also some bits from the 6th Edition Skaven clanrats.

The Players of the team are:

2 Skaven Blitzers. My brother add some shoulder pads and some armour in the arms with putty to the models.
Image

2 Skaven Throwers. In my opinion the position of the one that is in the left of the picture is a little weird, but I guess that with the arms available it was the best thing he could have done.
Image

4 Skaven Gutter Runners. Not much to say about this models as they were made assembly the plastic bits of the Night Runners with using any putty.
Image

4 Skaven Linemen. My brother work a little on the helmets and on the shoulder pads with some putty.

My brother is thinking of adding a Rat Ogre exclusively to the team. For the moment he uses one from his Warhammer Fantasy Skaven army when he plays with this team.

Hope you like it, cheers!

It's true that the WH plastics are common for team conversions but your brother did a great job executing it! The putty work to make helmets and shoulder pads for the linerats in particular were done very well, and make them look like they are going to play bloodbowl, rather than step onto the battlefield.

Hope to see more from you and your brother. :)

Really nice job there!
Love the numbers painted on the models, gives them a "sports team" look, rather then the "battlefield look" mentioned before.

Cheers,
A.

I made a similar looking team with the same base models for a commission some time ago. Great fun to work with and they work great for BB.

Kudos to your brother, great conversions and paintjob :)
