As I continue to work through the various Warhammer Underworlds warbands, I finally reached Skittershank's Clawpack. The Clawpack are a group of Clan Eshin Skaven. I decided to paint them in classic scheme of brown fur and black robes. Here is my guide.  More of my  How to paint... articles  can be found here. Undercoats The miniature was undercoated with Chaos Black spray . I then gave the whole miniature a basecoat of Mournfang Brown thinned, with water. Once the basecoat was dry, I gave the fur a very light drybrush with Karak Stone .  This may look a little harsh but the washes will fix this in a later stage. Basecoats The next main step, was to block in all the basecoats on the miniature. I began with the flesh on the nose, ears, hands and feet. This was painted with a 1:1 mix of Bugman's Glow and Cadian Fleshtone . I made sure to feather the edges between the fur and flesh on the hands and feet. The eyes were painted in with Mephiston Red.  The tail was painted with a 1:

  With the release of Skabbik Plaguepack for Warhammer Underworlds, I needed a guide to paint up this warband of Plague Monks.  I wanted to go with the classic green robes for these devotees of disease. I was also keen to get a nice luminous look for the funes of the plague censers. This is my guide, I hope you enjoy. How I Paint - Skaven - Warlord Skritch Priming and Underpaint Begin by undercoating the miniature with  Chaos Black  spray Then give the whole miniature, except the weapon blade and the base, a basecoat of  Mournfang Brown . You do not need to be too tidy at this stage. Keep the paint relatively thin so as not obscure any details and make sure it gets into the recesses. For this job, I use an old medium basecoat brush, which has bristles pointing in all directions, or course an airbrush would be faster, but I would avoid using a rattle can. The brown gives a nice warm base to build the colours of the miniature upon. Once the brown was full dry, the fur of the miniature wa

  Now I must admit to not being the greatest fan of Skaven, but they are an absolute classic Warhammer 'World-that-was' bad guy. They are remarkably easy to paint, even if you are trying to get hordes of clan rats completed in a short period of time. This guide makes great use of the 'magical' properties of washes and shade paints. For this guide, I used a used a rather complex miniature, a Skaven warlord, namely Skritch from the first season of Warhammer Underworlds. I wanted to use a complex miniature to show how easy it was to get even character level paint schemes done with this method.
