Ok, so I've finally gotten more of my Skaven-with-Vampire-Counts-pact army to a stage I'm happy with sharing. If this is the first you've heard of it, I decided to start a Skaven army with a Vampire Counts pact for Storm of Magic - all of the Undead however are going to be Skaven, tied together with a common colour scheme (purples, reds and lots of rusted metals).
The new Skaven models are blinding, especially Warlord Queek which is in my opinion one of the most dynamic models GW have ever made. As soon as the model was released in Finecast I knew I had to have one to be my Vampire Count-come-Skaven General.
I won't bore you with the paint job (unless you ask me to), but here's the parts I used for the conversion work: The main body is Queek, with the shield from the 2011 Games Day Skaven model; the back banner is pieced together from a banner and streamers from Island of Blood skaven models; and the brazier is from the Screaming Bell kit. The branches are dryad limbs, while the leaves on the base are specialist modelling supplies.
Also, due to an airbubble in the finecast I had to resculpt the front legs of the little rat in front, so I decided to give him a bit of cheese that he's running away from the mob with, to add a little humour and undermine the seriousness of the piece :3
The objective was simple. Find rust wherever it's hiding, and SHOOT IT!
This Rust Machinery was on the Rugby Field (The Football Field doubles as a Rugby Field too). It's old and abandoned and full of rust. BANG! BANG!! BANG!!!
so there's been a development. the backhoe's days are numbered. neighbors have complained to the town.
Rust roest is a Dutch expression which means ´idleness rusts the mind´. Literally translated it would be: rest rusts.
In Peso da Régua (Portugal) I noticed some old trains behind the train station. I asked if I were allowed to walk there (in The Netherlands it is strictly forbidden to walk across the rails. The people in the train station laughed, didn´t understand why I was asking that (no problem) and didn´t seem to understand why I wanted to do that anyway.
I was fascinated by those old trains, that seemed to have been here for ages. Grass growing in the engines, rust and flaking paint. Rust roest, literally.

Amazing how the sea is making the gears and the bearings fuse together into a smooth piece of metal. I came across it near Beachy Head on the English southcoast.
