This Skaven’s got game. Come see the old school miniature of everyone’s favorite warmachine maker for the rats, rats, yes, yes!
Hello everyone, Cadaver here from Home Of Cadaver. Anyways, here I am once again, finally managing to finish something off. Something I was building for quite a while now. You have probably by now seen my Skaven army building up through the pages of my blog. If not, do so now ;)In any case, I have always been fascinated with one of the most infamous Warhammer characters, the great Skaven Chief Warlord Engineer of Clan Skyre, Ikit Claw. Being a long time Skaven collector, I happen to have the old model of him, not that I dislike the newer version but as I always like to say, no school like old school! I always loved the character and the extreme details that this model have.
But let the pictures just do the talking, I guess
The model stands on a resin Armorcast base. I don’t think they made these anymore, if they do please let me know as they are really great! I think it really makes the model stand even more out of the ordinary and it really suits well with the general archaic industrial feeling. I decided to go with a slightlty different color sceme than the original model, mostly because I wanted it to have a more fresh look, using metallics and washes to create this gritty and mechanical feeling. The banner is completely scratchbuilt from greenstuff and hand painted, using the original banner as a model.The base is finished with a pool of green shiny slime because… well nothing shouts out loud that an experiment went wrong more than green shiny slime 😉
As always I would love to hear your comments, remarks and anything else you would like to share with me, plus if you have the time, leave a vote for this fella on CoolMiniOrNot!
Vote for Ikit Claw
Till next time, take care!
