I just can't get rid of them damned rats!

Ok, so I decided to mess around with my Skaven just a little bit more. As much as I thought I hated them, after reading the First Omnibus of Gortek and Felix, I can't help but like the little fuzzy bastards. So I glued some gutter runners into their bases and then did some work on my Warlord, Queetik Eeksteen, Bane of all Man-Things. Part of that work was done for me, as his cloak was broken in storage... but that actually works in my favor. Here's how: Queetik is modeled after the long-legged Blood Bowl Skaven. So he's kinda a big rat. Well, I've decided that he will just have some mutations due to warp stone exposure, and his mutation will be giantism. The way the cloak looks now, it could pass as a really small and ill-fitting cloak. So yeah. Yippee. He gets more character and I didn't really even do anything!

But I am working on a more scenic base for him. Here's a picture of it:


And here's a picture of Queetik blue-tac'd onto the base:


Ideally it will look like he is leaping over a pile of rubble, including a broken spear. Hopefully I will finish it soon.
