So it felt like it was time to start my first own project. And why not start with my first memory of Warhammer from early-mid 1990. A kid in the neighbourhood I grew up, Nils, (Nisse) and his friend Manfred (Maffe) played Warhammer and I remember it was like nothing I had ever seen when I got to watch a battle. Maffe had a Dark Elves collection that was just madness. He had recast his own Harpies in old lead based tin soldier-tin which was almost as soft as chewing gum. Before every battle he would straighten all the harpies up from their bases and 10 minutes later they would all fold over by the ankles and lie face down on the board because of the extremely soft metal. He stored his entire army in an old army surplus medical coffin stuffed with cut sections from an old foam matress, carefully laying out his minis on each matress section before putting on the next layer - close the lid - and then always lift the coffin in one, ONE, of the side handles so that all minis would crash into the other side producing a wonderful rattling noise of "could just as well have quickly raked his whole army into a shopping bag instead of spending all that time laying it out in his army storage".
I did end up building my own Dark Elf army many years later, but never touched Skaven. I plan on throwing in as much "stuff" as possible since I think Skaven should be anything but organized. I dont have a clear plan yet, but this is probably my first 400 points:
Regiments
24 Clanrats - 96pts
1 Assassin - 40pts
3 Warplock Jezzails - 75pts
Characters & War machines
Lvl 2 Warlock - 114pts
Ratling gun team - 75pts
Total 400pts
First time in many many years I collect an army from scratch and so far its been a blast building and painting the first stuff!
