Here we go again! Three super fast schemes to get your Skaven models painted up to a great standard so you can start playing the new edition of Age of Sigmar asap...or the The Old World! This one video covers how to mostly contrast paint your clan rats in in a choice of three clans, Verminus, Pestilens and Eschin! All three clans look great, and you don't even have to choose! You'll have enough rats in your Skaven army to use all the schemes!
If you want more schemes let me know!
I've covered Clan Skurvy in this video!
• Old World Diaries: Ska...
Basing scheme:
AK Terrain Dark Earth texture paste
Ryza Rust (dry) brush
Screaming Skull (layer) dry brush
All clanrats are from the new Skaventide box kindly sent to me by ‪@officialwarhammer‬!

In my opinion, eshin clanrats should be ridiculously bright. Your enemies wouldn't see the ninja sneaking up on them because they are focused on the horde.

@TheBackbunner 6 күн бұрын

This could also work has justification for why eshin uses Rat Ogres and Hell Pit Abominations, no one’s going to be looking behind them with these monsters running them down.

OMG. Seriously good call about the number of shades GW have. Actually, I need to reconsider just what their paint range does cover, it is large (which we always knew) but yeah, they do keep adding to it, and I know I was just not paying attention to how large it has become. On the subject of painting ninja to 'pop', I remember decades ago, someone had a ninja army that consisted of nothing but bases with footprints on them on the basis that you shouldn't see ninja... cheapest army of all time!

Nice painting, liked the pestilence one the best. Didn't know about Mortarian grime. I'm going to pick that up with the Skaventide box for all my nurgle aligned armies. Nurgle being your favorite chaos god, I'm not surprised you liked the pestilence clan rat so much.

@blkjet117 6 күн бұрын

You are my go to for a nice quick fairly simple paint schemes that look great. You mentioned something in passing, and I think it would really significantly improve the clan Eshin model. When you look at the three different clan rats together, the red and green look very balanced. The Eshin screams I have too much brown and I need a color that will work well with brown and black. That would be grey, or if you prefer gray.

@thehonestaspy102 6 күн бұрын

Fantastic video and I'd love to see Molder and Skryre guides as well as maybe a more obscure one? Also did you add those rocks to the Skavens feet or did they come with them?

Thanks for doing this, and please do more different skaven clans! I was already thinking of painting mine as all different clans, especially for the non-battleline models, and I think doing a ramshackle bunch of all different clans for the clanrats will look cool, and as messy as the clanrats tend to be. A coalition of the unwilling.

Beautiful models and I must say in particular the Eshin Clan model with the shield with the bright red symbol I really like it since everything else is quite dark and the symbol can be seen very well. It gives me the impression that it could be useful for scare tactics like I'll let you know that the Eshin clan is coming while their heroes go behind enemy lines to assassinate important targets, let's say a bit of theatrics and deception like Batman, just hairier. I would like a video with the other clans too, also because Moulder and Skryre are my favourites.

@richardwales9674 6 күн бұрын

While the Eshin Clanrats might not be bright I do think you could paint them brighter because like another comment I've just seen I can image Eshin using their Clanrats as a Distraction Carnifex. They want them to be seen so the enemy has more chance of missing the sneaky stuff. I like all the colour schemes here and am totally onboard with your comment about paints and other KZfaq painters. You achieve good results without too much faffage. 🙂

They all look great, but my favourite is also the pestilence guy! Love how the Skeleton Horde is turning out as old wood. Would you have a tip what paints to use for variations in skin tone? Sence the higher up a Skaven in the hirarchy, the darker its skin.

@hannupajula1422 6 күн бұрын

They look great! You could get away with using just one metallic paint. Snakebite Leather and Gore-grunta fur over silver make excellent brown metallics over Leadbelcher or Iron Hands steel basecoat. I recommend to try them out if you haven't already.

I would like to see you paint up the other clans. I know there are going to be more releases, but they did say in one of the WarCom articles that the clanrats were taking bits of inspiration from each clan because if you're still only a clanrat, you haven't yet reached the point of truly belonging to a clan.

@jacket2848 6 күн бұрын

It's likely you have far too little on the brush really. That's the most common issue, people try to apply it thinly and that is what causes almost all issues with contrast

@MediocreHobbies 4 күн бұрын

Agreed, always apply way more than you think you’ll need and wipe away the excess before it dries! Never drag too little paint across a surface!

@MediocreHobbies 6 күн бұрын

It’s a solid cost of black and a lighter coat of grey from above to add light/shadow. The lighter coat adds a bit of texture(not visible to the eye) that helps contrast paint cling to better! Hope that makes sense!
