Hello all!

Recently I decided to came back to my quite forsaken hobby and I wanted some advices from wider audience because I want to know how you see ideas for armies like this one. :)

With making all miniatures for this army my main goal was to do it basing on the Island of Blood minis mainly, adding only those minis which I like as they are - so you'll see a lot of conversions here - smaller, bigger, scratch builts and so on. Second goal was to make this army Skryre themed. Why Skryre? Because I like it most of all clans.

Along photos I'll write short explanation how was every model done. Please, feel free to comment or post some ideas for regiments I'm missing because I'm planning to make this army a little bit bigger!

This one was made form the Screaming Bell Rat Ogre and some parts from my bits box. I made it some time ago, so I don't remember everything but i used some Dwarven bits (for engine on his back), Chaos Knight lances (for glaivie) and Doomwheel driver head. Gaps was filled with green stuff.

Original model which I truly love.

Same as Bell, just added a Monk's book to his hand as he didn't need to grab a bell chain.

Warpstone Furnace:

My idea for Plague Furnace. I wanted something looking skryrish. This is repositioned new Cannon set with some addition of the second piece of warpstone and some pipes and exshaust mounted on a scratch built proper base. As a priest i used IoB Warlock Engineer.

Quite simple, original one with addition of small rat (as all of my Skaven characters have some of the rats with them).

Original ones, just two Warpfire Throwers have their tank and end of the thrower cut filling gaps with green stuff and adding shields, Orc Shoota magazines and Empire Pistoliers multi musket rifles to create Ratling Guns.

very nice work in progress shots there, the Vermin Lord looks suitably yucky!

Some wonderful conversions and painting here, I particularly like the Warp Lightning Cannons.
