I can't wait to paint the Ratling Warpblaster. I love the crazy warp tech/mad science aspects of Skaven

I would say the white fur looks good especially for Skaven. I think the skeleton horde base coat helps sell the idea that at the end of the day this is still a dirty dingy rat! Can always appreciate undertones and complexity to white paint schemes

Yeah there’s always an ugly stage to push through 😄

Warplock Jezzails! But in all seriousness, would love to see you do the Grey Seer! As far as the fur colour, personally, I don't love the white but brown, grey, and black rat ogres might be cool

I really liked the simplicity of this video amd showing that a great job can be done out of the bottle at relative speed. Theres a real approachable feel to this that gives confidence. I would say the oxide on the shackles was possibly not the right choice perhaps a very thin brown wash mightve been better as it doesnt read quite right. I wasnt sure how the fur would turn out midway but it looks really good.

I just preordered my set, can't wait, would love to see you making bases, not enough of those videos out there, will be putting my skaven in the sewer and stormcast in the city above it

I don’t think you did a bad job but I’m not super keen on the white fur, but that’s a personal preference thing I think, it’s just kind of a lot and washes out some of the rest of the model.

I definitely like how you went about making him albino, as I watched I was thinking maybe add just a brief touch like maybe a light drybrush of pure white if only to give that brightness to it, but then when you said you were going for mange and dirty it helped shift the appearance in my mind, maybe making the skin a little pinkish not a lot but that might help sell the albinism a bit more but that's just to my eye and I totally get what your vision is and you 100% nailed it Great video as always Andy very excited for the videos

I like the white fur, it's like he was born an albino, a sign from the Great Rat in the Sky. He is destined for greatness as such had the most honored adaptation. I would do the other two in a different color. That will make the white rat ogre pop even more, Face it, he will be the last rat ogre you remove as a causality.

@MediocreHobbies

That's a great way of doing it, make him the stand out one!

Perhaps he has white fur because he was a lab rat that they mutated into a rat ogre. I think white fur works really well for skaven, tbh. Maybe the warpstone exposure has prematurely aged their hair!

Regarding changing the base, are the feet big enough to magnetise? Or could you 3d print parts of one base to enclose the other to bring them up to the right shape/size ( Idon't know the scales so it would be a circle within a square or a square in a circle). If that makes sense. Awesome video btw.
