The Skaven, Ratmen, the Ratkin, the "Children of the Horned Rat #3 (Gutter Runner)

 

Hello!

Today is the third and so far the last post dedicated to the Skaven!

         I have already painted all the metal oldhammer models that I owned and I have no plans to buy new ones this year (to be precise, my personal challenge is not buying any new models - recently I calculated my cabinets of shame and I can easily paint and not buy anything... 10 years).

        Hero of this post is Gutter Runner (C47 Skaven, Jes Goodwin, 1986), I bought it a long time ago, but from the beginning I really liked this old-school design.

Gutter Runners are those quick and flexible Skaven promoted from the lowly ranks of the Night Runners. They are the best of that caste of ratmen, former Nightleaders given more responsiblity in the clan and leading their regiments against Eshin's enemies.

        Champions among the Gutter Runner ranks are refered to as Death Runners.Those Gutter Runners with particular skill in the Art of the Silent death go on to be Master Assassins.

  4. Excellent work, Michal! I, too, have enough, lead to paint to keep me going for many years without buying another figure. Will I follow this path? Unlikely.

  10. great paint jobs.
    10 years would be a long time to go without buying anything. One could I suppose just paint faster....or sell some off. Both solutions have problems. 😁

  11. Good luck on the year pledge, I am not so sure I can do the same, though god knows I need new lead like I need a hole in the head.

    The Gutter Runner is perfect. Dingy and nasty looking. Lord knows that rusty dagger probably has as much chance of killing someone just by nicking them accidentally as it would if it actually stabbed a fellow!
