I did a Skaven kill team based off genestealers and stormvermin a while ago Using a biologis as a stand in for a moulder type buffer or a grey seer as a rouge psyker were some of my highlights And for a bit of Skaven flavor all ammo belts, energy weapons glow were painted a warp stone and some I replaced with sprue carved crystals to make warp stone battery packs
I've always wanted to do some of the 'Ratskins' regiment (a Guard Cavalry Regiment recruited from Necromunda) as skaven, pretending to be humnans, dressed as rats, riding rats. Never had the modeling skills to pull it off. This very much scratches that itch.
Glad to hear, mate. I think it's very important when making a little diorama to tell a story as well when building it, or it will just become this smashed together mess with no coherency.
This is crazy lol. Several months ago, my friend started a Guard Army and kitbashed it with the skaventide box set. We called it the Skavenguard too. I can't imagine we were the first, but seeing it here in a UA-cam video is rather funny
I've also thought about a Skaven killteam too! Perhaps with the new Kasyrkin, but I also think some jumpack ratmen to be Scions would equally be hilarious.
There was just a good campaign of stls of rat imperial guard and some chaos. Though it's too clean to feel actually Skaven. The gear needs to feel broken down and stolen, let alone supped up in a dangerous overpowered way.
if Gw wanted to print money they would add skaven to 40k asap,i thought it would have been good to have introduced them as an enemy of the leagues of votann.
@@FogOfGore yeah that would be awesome,it would fit nice into the lore that for millenia votann have been fighting mutant ratmen in a far off secluded part of the galaxy
I’ve been kitbashing Skaven with Adeptus Mechanicus. They both have parts that are animalistic in appearance (IE: Sicarian claws and crooked legs). Who doesn’t love cyborg space rats?
Yeah, I was thinking about it too. Green would be more Skaven, but I felt blue would be more Imperial Guard and the cannon is from the guard originally, so I went with blue.
Yeah, easily. It's an enamel paint and so with some white spirits you can make it into a wash and it will only go in the recesses. That's basically what I did on the skaven armour with the Rust Streaks enamel paint.
The reason they dont exist is thatif they did the Humans would just exterminate them all in an exterminatus. There is no way in hell those guys would be sanctioned abhumans.
Skaven Army that Somehow end up teleported into W40k Universe, then get Enlisted In the Imperial Guard, maybe they got classified as human/mammals close enough ,they was accepted as canon folder into the Guards Ranks ?
If you wanted to get to play it on table top properly, One Page Rules has Space Rats so you can face of with other warhammer factions! This would be fantastic!
I said the same thing about squats and bought several space dwarfs minis, one year later we got.. not squats in 40k. I hope you enjoy ratting it up in 40k as even if GW did do it im sure they would mess it up. and it wont look that cool.
I really don't mind that GW doesn't make space skaven, exactly for the reason you mention. I would be afraid that they would want to do something different just for the sake of being different instead of just providing what the fans want. In every setting and every game I play dwarves, but not in 40K because the Votann just don't feel like dwarves.
What would you add to a Skaven kill team? I'm looking for inspiration!

A stormfiend is pretty much already 40k,would be a good tanky character for it,maybe put some ogryn bits on it
I made my killteam using stationforges rat themed admech. Mechanicum is in my mind as close as you can get to skaven in 40k.
Rat Ogers 😊 could use genestealer hybrid rules
Skaven Killteam? Yes-yes!
Always loved the idea of space skaven. Im tempted to narrate a story about them, theyre just too cool for school. Great video
Please do!
This is in incredible! Any type of space skaven have always fascinated me and your take is probably my favorite so far. Well done!
Wow, thank you!
Rust for the rust God, nice work!
Tetanus from his throne!
Rats, Rats, We are the Rats...
And the sun shall never set on the Rat Empire!
In Rogue Trader the Imperial Army had Beastman squads.
But they mostly had close combat, not heavy weapons.
Yeah, I'm already planning a few Beastmen who will fight as punishment for their existence. I think I can field them as Kasrkin proxies.
Minotaurs instead of ogryns would be interesting. Ungors instead of ratlings too.

Oh, you've got those giant rats from Necromunda that could be great mounts!
Amazing job.
Please do more Skaven Kitbash and conversions
I love the way you think though the narrative of the piece.
Glad to hear, mate. I think it's very important when making a little diorama to tell a story as well when building it, or it will just become this smashed together mess with no coherency.
Fab diorama, thanks for making and sharing 🤩
Squeak-squeak! 🤩🐀🌠
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the gritty rust!
Yes! Textures is what it's all about.
Demolition!. Bombs, sharpened shovel axes and sneaky tunnellers.
This is crazy lol. Several months ago, my friend started a Guard Army and kitbashed it with the skaventide box set. We called it the Skavenguard too. I can't imagine we were the first, but seeing it here in a UA-cam video is rather funny
Yeah it's a pretty popular conversion. Anything with Skaven is a cool conversion!
Hell yes. Skaven guard
I've also thought about a Skaven killteam too! Perhaps with the new Kasyrkin, but I also think some jumpack ratmen to be Scions would equally be hilarious.
I think jump pack skaven would be hilarious. More like stormboyz with a rocket strapped to their back than a proper jump pack.
No Devastation like Throne Devastation, yes-yes!
BEHOLD THE LAS GAT!!!
Yes, please.
awesome conversion, would love to see you take a crack at some trench crusade units
Yeah, I've been thinking of doing some trench crusade as well.

Awh, man. Now I want a Skaven vs Votann kill-team box!
@@FogOfGore yeah that would be awesome,it would fit nice into the lore that for millenia votann have been fighting mutant ratmen in a far off secluded part of the galaxy
there used to be skaven is space under a different race and never really got official models
Yeah, it's a shame they don't exist in 40K, but on the other hand, it means I can make these dioramas!
We need skaven in 40k!!
Amazing work as always ✨✨
Thank you! 😄
Fantastic video, thank you 😊 Lots of ideas coming to mind here and a Kill Team would be 😮😊😅😂😂
Amazing kitbash!
@@viciaoalwow95 thank you! I'm trying to create cooler and mor elaborate kitbashes now, so you can expect a lot more like this.
Well, the Great Horned Rat is an official Chaos God now, soo... They would probably be a form of Chaos "Beastmen" in WH40K
...ratlings any one? sorry, couldnt resist ....lol
I’ve been kitbashing Skaven with Adeptus Mechanicus. They both have parts that are animalistic in appearance (IE: Sicarian claws and crooked legs). Who doesn’t love cyborg space rats?
Yeah, Ad Mech is fantastic fit for 40K Skaven too!
I love this, but i think you should have gone with warp fire for that plasma cannon
Yeah, I was thinking about it too. Green would be more Skaven, but I felt blue would be more Imperial Guard and the cannon is from the guard originally, so I went with blue.
Rubber is food to the ratfolk 😊
I've got a whole army of Skaven Admech. They were fun to make but this edition killed them for me.
id love to see you do a skaven killteam 😁
Yeah, I think I have to! I just have to find a kill team that could work rules wise as well. Maybe the new ratlings are a good place to start.
@FogOfGore genestealer hybrids could work
That's a great suggestion. I'll see if I can make a cool skaven/gsc combination.
Is it possible to dilute the corrosion so it sinks into the recesses?
Yeah, easily. It's an enamel paint and so with some white spirits you can make it into a wash and it will only go in the recesses. That's basically what I did on the skaven armour with the Rust Streaks enamel paint.
this video coming out half a week before GW announced WW1/krieg style fieldguns
now you can say the wheels are just nicked form that kit : P
Hahaha, yeah, I thought the same! I've got to convert some of the new Krieg pieces
The reason they dont exist is thatif they did the Humans would just exterminate them all in an exterminatus. There is no way in hell those guys would be sanctioned abhumans.
Instantly subbed!
Welcome aboard!
Skaven Army that Somehow end up teleported into W40k Universe, then get Enlisted In the Imperial Guard, maybe they got classified as human/mammals close enough ,they was accepted as canon folder into the Guards Ranks ?
Yeah, great idea. Or some mad scientist has been experimenting on abhumans like the ratlings?
I don't see why there wouldn't be mutant rat men on some industrialized world in the 40k universe, make it happen!
Mortian has an entire range of "space skaven" including tanks and larger beasts.
If you wanted to get to play it on table top properly, One Page Rules has Space Rats so you can face of with other warhammer factions! This would be fantastic!
For now I just play them as Imperial Guard, it's going to be a crazy mix of Krieg, rats, beastmen and anything else I can kitbash together
Now try making a Skaven equivalent to a Knight/Titan/etc.
I've already got the Imperial Knights battleforce at home 😀
@ what about kitbashing a Doomwheel with a Chimera chassis? Or putting the Ratling Gun atop a Sentinel?
👍🔥🤘❤️ loved the video
Thanks mate!
If they are Cadian why would they need to steal the lascannon?
I don't think Skaven need a reason to be stealing

I said the same thing about squats and bought several space dwarfs minis, one year later we got.. not squats in 40k. I hope you enjoy ratting it up in 40k as even if GW did do it im sure they would mess it up. and it wont look that cool.

I like Skaven, funny creatures in fantasy. why not have them in 40k? they can fit in as either mutants of Humanity or some Xenos race
i liked the video but i don't like it to keep 666.
ok, it's not anymore 666, so i will like :/
