Lucio Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Loving this army, very nifty conversions all around. Worth noting that on the Stormfiends bodies, Felwater Troggoth arms work a treat if you want a more natural type of Rat Ogre, the scales can easily be scabby skin patches. Looking forward to what comes next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Cheers Flemingmma and Lucio. I had not even thought about the troll arms! I shall definitely take a look. Yesterday I played my first game with the Moulder, and also my first Malign Portents game too. Ended in a very narrow loss but loved the way the army plays, completely different to my Nurgle Daemons and Death armies. The Portents were also a great addition to the game and made for a lot more decision making as the game went on which I love. There's also a picture of my opponent's Darkoath Warqueen dueling my conversion for Skaven Harbinger, more pics of him coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 As promised some better pictures of my Skaven Harbinger. Still a WIP at the moment but he's getting there and should definitely be ready by March 3rd! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Been a very busy time with my hobby recently so progress has been a bit jumpy! My main achievement is starting work on my Stormfiend's paint job as well as starting off their bases. These guys have some of the largest bases in my army so I had to make sure to use the space! I have also got distracted reading the Daughters of Khaine book and become really inspired by Ulgu, which prompted me to make a conversion for some Free People. I've also wanted to use the Orlock bodies for a long while and these seemed perfect for it. Edited March 5, 2018 by Ahriman 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahriman Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Hello all! After a slight hiatus for me to work on my Thousand Sons I am back! 2.0 has landed with points drops across my army, making games much more fun with more Rat Ogres running around. Endless Spells are here so I'm looking to add a Grey Seer and some spells in too, all themed around Clans Moulder. I am also going to the Soul Wars campaign weekend in about 6 weeks, so need to finish a 2,000pts army by then! So better get a move on. On the docket at the moment: first of 10 Wolf Rats, Boneripper conversion and sculpting some fur onto my next set of Rat Ogres. More to come.

Ahriman Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Lots of progress has been made on the Rat Ogres, with the heat the UK has had I have avoided painting and ploughed on with building everything. Including a redo of my Throt the Unclean conversion. The original is posted in the page before and there was always something I didn't like about him. He was neither attacking nor standing still and as such a quick swap of which weapons were where and the position of his third arm and I'm much, much happier. Now he seems to be watching his creations run amok in battle, while his sword arm is at ease but ready to lash out. A coiled whip will be added to his left hand as well. Cheers, Ahrimanjjb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 All 12 rat ogres are now built, and mostly green stuffed. Work on the bases has begun and then its onto the painting! With less than 3 weeks remaining I am glad my scheme is relatively quick and that there are rather few models to do it on. My plan is to get everything to tabletop standard within a week and then spend the rest of the time doing blood effects and bruising on the skin. I have also built and based my two endless spells, the Soulsnare Shackles and the Blessing of the Horned Rat (or Burning Skull...). Pics coming shortly of the Moulder Tracker who counts as my Grey Seer who casts them. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmanlee Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Love this army love this army you have inspired me to paint my moulder army for blood and glory also your rat ogres are amazing I would love to do something like that but I don't think I have the skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 What would your Moulder list look like @Oldmanlee? You should give it go though if you like them, the main difficulties were getting different weapons and arms of the right size, and sculpting fur is surprisingly easy. Some more WIP shots for today, bases are finished but don't photograph well (they're a dark jade) and the skin is on its way! Also a quick shot of a Giant Rat with a ludicrously oversized basing feature. And a model which is going to be my Grey Seer for the army. Concept is he's a huntsman or a tracker, the one who captures the monsters for Hell Pit using his magic, so I wanted him to look more wild than a typical Grey Seer. 10 days to go until the Soul Wars campaign weekend, its going to be a close one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmanlee Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I would go with this list just models I like nothing too special 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Alpaca Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 That giant rat with the massive statue actually gave me a chuckle. This army is looking great, hope you can reach that deadline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 The Soul Wars campaign deadline looms! Saturday is the kick off, a mere 4 days away, but I'm pretty happy with the progress that's been made so far and almost everything is playable - I just want to finish the army up with highlights and blood effects if there's time. But here's how the army looks at the moment, minus a Hell Pit Abomination which I left in work and the 50 giant rats. Let me know what you think! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Looking great so far, really superb rat ogres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Wow! What a weekend that was! I managed to get the army sorted to the point where it was table legal, but it was still to far away from being finished for any sort of look in for best army, but I shall carry them on over the next few weeks to get them sorted. On the whole the army looked impressive model wise all amassed together, but there wasn't enough definition in the bases (they just looked black) and without highlights nothing popped. But onwards and upwards! The weekend told the story of the Necroquake's wake, how it affected the wars being fought and there was a host of endless spells in play. Over the weekend my Moulder took on my friends Stormcast Eternals, a mixed Order list of Khardron's and Stormcast, then some Idoneth Deepkin and finally Khorne Daemons to finish day one. Day two started off against Sylvaneth, before facing off an army of squigs and finishing with me charging into a Stormcast shieldwall! There were so many cool moments from the games its hard to remember them all: bringing down a bloodthister with charging Rat Ogors, my grey seer tracker getting caught in the explosion of his own melevolent maelstrom, an akhelian king flying over my Hell Pit Abomination to skewer Throt the Unclean (and then being eaten by the Hell Pit in return). Amazing weekend, amazing venue and a very fun army to play. And they came away with 3 wins, 3 loses and a draw too which I'm super happy with. Here are some awful shots from various games, and my army list I handed out to my opponents as souvenirs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Super cool! But I see your point about the bases! Keep at it! Because it’s a great army and you did better than most would have expected ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 With the release of the Skaven Battletome its time to get my Clans Moulder back of the tables! Firstly, I love the new book. I was quite happy with how my army played before hand, the only thing I didn't like was how flimsy packmasters were and the lack of command ability in the army - but fortunately that's been improved with the new Master Moulders. And having the option to pick command traits and relics for the army is ace. Here's the army I'm going to be using for the next few games, I've taken out my Stormfiends and will be trying out the Flesh Menagerie. Master Moulder (Throt the Unclean), with Stonehorn Blade and Moulder Supreme Master Moulder with Rabid Crown Master Moulder (in the menagerie) 3 x 4 Rat Ogors 5 x 10 Giant Rats 2 x Hell Pit Abomination 2 x Wolf Rats Flesh Menagerie battalion 2,000pts The day of the book release me and a friend had a clan war between my Clans Moulder and his Clans Pestilens to see what was what. Great games were had, awful photos are below (we were fighting an underground war so the lighting is dark). So yeah, very happy with the book. More to come. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
