Here we go again! Three super fast schemes to get your Skaven models painted up to a great standard so you can start playing the new edition of Age of Sigmar asap...or the The Old World! This one video covers how to mostly contrast paint your clan rats in in a choice of three clans, Verminus, Pestilens and Eschin! All three clans look great, and you don't even have to choose! You'll have enough rats in your Skaven army to use all the schemes!
If you want more schemes let me know!
I've covered Clan Skurvy in this video!
• Old World Diaries: Ska...
Basing scheme:
AK Terrain Dark Earth texture paste
Ryza Rust (dry) brush
Screaming Skull (layer) dry brush
All clanrats are from the new Skaventide box kindly sent to me by @officialwarhammer!
Here's how and why I prime the way I do!
Two different rattle/spray cans are used-one full solid coat of black, and a lighter coat of grey seer sprayed from above to add light/dark areas. The lighter coating of grey seer adds a small amount of grit(too small for the eye to see) from to give the contrast paint a better surface to cling too. Contrast paints don’t work well on black primers, the colours won’t show up well.
Here’s a short showing the process, if you have any other questions please let me know!

Feel free to ping me if I missed something, hope it'll help someone as much as it would've help me !
Have a great day y'all
You sir, are a legend. Thank you for this! Pinning this so others can see it!
@@MediocreHobbies thanks a lot ! I’ll try to do the same for your video of others clans
That has been a lot of help when I was shopping for the paints I was missing. Thank you!
I want to buy you a beer sir, legend!
This is so useful, thank you so much
Excellent call about other UA-camrs giving guides that involve 1000 paints! Thank you for making your guide so accessible & excellent results!
„Quick and easy painting tutorial“ and they immediately whip out an airbrush
@@Meslop-s4c once I see the airbrush usually skip lol.
Just what my 12 year old son needed for his clan pestilens army. Fantastic color scheme, fast and easy. Thanks so much!
Awesome to hear that, you’re very welcome!
I'd love to see how you'd do the Skrye dark blue-y! :)
Coming soon!
OMG. Seriously good call about the number of shades GW have. Actually, I need to reconsider just what their paint range does cover, it is large (which we always knew) but yeah, they do keep adding to it, and I know I was just not paying attention to how large it has become. On the subject of painting ninja to 'pop', I remember decades ago, someone had a ninja army that consisted of nothing but bases with footprints on them on the basis that you shouldn't see ninja... cheapest army of all time!
In my opinion, eshin clanrats should be ridiculously bright. Your enemies wouldn't see the ninja sneaking up on them because they are focused on the horde.
This could also work has justification for why eshin uses Rat Ogres and Hell Pit Abominations, no one’s going to be looking behind them with these monsters running them down.
I will be 3D printing little Japanese style kasa hats for my Eshin clanrats with brightly colored outfits like ashigaru.
That would be clowns not ninjas 😂
But I get your point 😉
@@Fortunes.Fool.oh my that sounds amazing!! I would buy some of those!
Clan pestilens is my favorite of the three too. I for one would definitely love another video (or videos) with the rest of the clans.
It’s looking likely there’ll be a second video!
@@MediocreHobbiesand the box comes with a skyre head!
awesome thanks for this, shjowed my daughter who said Eshin is how she wants her half painted, so now im sorted for a simple fast scheme - thank you!
Awww I love hearing that! Enjoy many future games together and let me know if you ah e any questions!
Really great video. I just got the Skaventide box and now I can't decide how to paint them, they all look brilliant!
haha good news is, there's no bad choice!
Yeah it would be cool to see more clans :D I will probably do eshin but still would like to see more
More tomorrow!
Great video. Thanks for it. Now I have a good overview how to do those Clanrat.
Glad I could help
They look great! You could get away with using just one metallic paint. Snakebite Leather and Gore-grunta fur over silver make excellent brown metallics over Leadbelcher or Iron Hands steel basecoat. I recommend to try them out if you haven't already.
☝️This. And Nazdreg yellow makes excellent golds over a silver metallic.
Great tutorial. I think the Eshen one just needs a bit of a red highlight on the shield to be spectacular for a speed paint.
Great video & 😊I love your explanation of why you used a certain colour on this part and a different colour for another bit 👍
Would’ve love to see more clan colours. Cheers
These turned out awesome, but that Clan Pestliens is hands down the coolest. That would truly be a gorgeous army to see!!!
Yeah I think it would look great!
Looks very cool. Cheers for the painting guide
Thank you for watching!
My brother and I have ordered a box and he is excited to play the Skaven so these painting guides are fantastic!
Awesome to hear that! Enjoy!
All three of those schemes are sensational. Hadn't really thought about how I was going to do the clanrats, now I've got a tough choice.
There’s no bad decision 😄 maybe do a mix of all them!
While the Eshin Clanrats might not be bright I do think you could paint them brighter because like another comment I've just seen I can image Eshin using their Clanrats as a Distraction Carnifex. They want them to be seen so the enemy has more chance of missing the sneaky stuff. I like all the colour schemes here and am totally onboard with your comment about paints and other UA-cam painters. You achieve good results without too much faffage. 🙂
Absolutely love this video, made me go from a fan of Skaven but afraid to start them due to the horde aspect to me assaulting my Skaventide box and just ripping the Skaven sprues out of it to get going! Thank yoy very much!
Oh awesome! That’s so good to hear, hope you’re enjoying them!
Fantastic video and I'd love to see Molder and Skryre guides as well as maybe a more obscure one?
Also did you add those rocks to the Skavens feet or did they come with them?
The rocks are part of the sculpt
fantastic! just one recommendation for you: i think you could show your paintjobs off much better with better lighting - especially at the end it would be cool to see the result under good light and on a turntable
This is absolutely the video I needed!🙌🏻
Glad it was helpful!
You are my go to for a nice quick fairly simple paint schemes that look great. You mentioned something in passing, and I think it would really significantly improve the clan Eshin model. When you look at the three different clan rats together, the red and green look very balanced. The Eshin screams I have too much brown and I need a color that will work well with brown and black. That would be grey, or if you prefer gray.
All three schemes are great Andy, if I needed to get lots of clan rats done I’d be using one of these for sure.
Great video and superb results, I really appreciate your dedication to keeping paint range small!
Cheers man, glad you liked the video!
Amazing tutorial! Especially big thank you for providing a batch painting plan that is both fast and will look good across a whole army. My future Clan Pestilens Spearhead thank-thanks you already!
Haha love to hear that!
Clan Pestilens it is then! I painted a lot of red last year, so the green is a nice change. Cheers Andy
Glad I could help with the choice! Cheers man!
Thank you for the minimal paint tutorial ❤, definitely more clans please
You got it! Tomorrow!
This is amazing man, thanks for the video will deffo be using some bits of this :D
Awesome, glad it helped!
Beautiful models and I must say in particular the Eshin Clan model with the shield with the bright red symbol I really like it since everything else is quite dark and the symbol can be seen very well. It gives me the impression that it could be useful for scare tactics like I'll let you know that the Eshin clan is coming while their heroes go behind enemy lines to assassinate important targets, let's say a bit of theatrics and deception like Batman, just hairier.
I would like a video with the other clans too, also because Moulder and Skryre are my favourites.
Wicked! I’ve been looking for a pestilens guide!!
Hope you liked it!
@@MediocreHobbies I did and will definitely be using this guide!!
Nice painting, liked the pestilence one the best. Didn't know about Mortarian grime. I'm going to pick that up with the Skaventide box for all my nurgle aligned armies. Nurgle being your favorite chaos god, I'm not surprised you liked the pestilence clan rat so much.
Love your painting videos. Your tyrinid schemes really helped me with my swarm.
Aw thanks so much!
I only plan to paint these Skaven up for spearhead, but this should be easy enough and look good for the board.
Yes!
Every video you make it harder for me to not own a Skaven army lol. Would love to see more clan scheme videos
Tomorrow you’ll get 3 more!
Thanks for doing this, and please do more different skaven clans! I was already thinking of painting mine as all different clans, especially for the non-battleline models, and I think doing a ramshackle bunch of all different clans for the clanrats will look cool, and as messy as the clanrats tend to be. A coalition of the unwilling.
3 more clans coming out tomorrow!
Very well painted!!
Thank you so much!
Mate I have been watching your videos for a few months now and they are exceptional! Great tips and examples really well done and entertaining from Australia 🇦🇺 .
🐀🌠
Fab-Fab, thanks for making and sharing 🤩Squeak-squeak!
🐀🌠
Forgot to say this when this video was posted, but I was working on the Verminlord Deceiver, finished it today.
Can't wait for more Skaven videos, would love to see a Thanquol colour scheme done.
Yes, yes!
🐀🐀🐀
Superb video good sir
Thanks so much!
I'm going with verminus, love the red, hope you paint more in that clan
I haven’t fully decided what I’m doing yet, I might do all the clans in one army 😄
You've convinced me to go to Pestilens! I would love to see some other clans though, or the warp gattling gun thing!
I think I’ll be doing more clans! Was aiming to do the gun as well!
Cool video, not really into AoS at the moment but still interesting, well said about other UA-camrs and the amount of paints they use it gets a bit daunting especially for those of us that like to stick to a single range of paints
Great painting! would love to see Skryer
Come back again tomorrow! 😊
Gonna have to agree with you, mate. The Pestilens rat turned out amazing. Your Eschins clearly need some friends. You may need to batchpaint like 80 or so Pestilens rodents to hang out :)
I would like to see you paint up the other clans. I know there are going to be more releases, but they did say in one of the WarCom articles that the clanrats were taking bits of inspiration from each clan because if you're still only a clanrat, you haven't yet reached the point of truly belonging to a clan.
Ah I didn’t see that bit, that’s great to know-thank you!
They all look great, but my favourite is also the pestilence guy! Love how the Skeleton Horde is turning out as old wood. Would you have a tip what paints to use for variations in skin tone? Sence the higher up a Skaven in the hirarchy, the darker its skin.
❤
😊
If you do Eschin, you could have one character named Master Splinter (maybe with pet turtles somewhere)
Clan pestilence is my favorite clan!!!
Yeah they’re pretty cool!
Awesome video mate, definitely made me want to go paint rats 😀
Go for it!
Sick. Do one of Clan Skurvy
Boom. ua-cam.com/video/kVKWb1ybwBM/v-deo.htmlsi=GF5Zw_PfXo-L58jz
Nice work! I am very tempted to give the Spearhead format a go and these are really helpful. I might just be bad at searching, but have you any Sylvaneth videos?
Fantastic thank you!
You're very welcome!
The Eshin symbol I can imagine being forced to be painted red by their clan leader to help protect themselves in case things didn't go to plan (make the rest of the unit an easier target, for them to escape!)
Thxx :) morree core skaventide :) :)
More to come!
great video, anything skaven gets a thumbs up from me. still not sure if i'm gunna stay with clan mors for the new edition or try a new clan
It’s so hard to decide!
Such nice rats
Thanks so much!
bro how do ur contrasts flow so well, mine feel awful in comparison.
It's likely you have far too little on the brush really. That's the most common issue, people try to apply it thinly and that is what causes almost all issues with contrast
Agreed, always apply way more than you think you’ll need and wipe away the excess before it dries! Never drag too little paint across a surface!
@@MediocreHobbies i think it varies on which contrast, nazdreg yellow feels horrible no matter how much you slap on but i did 3:1 water and it seemed fine after that.
👍
😊🐀
As addicted as you (and we) are to the old world - an addiction I probably shouldn't fuel - do the new shaven work for old world? Because they're a legacy army its difficult to tell if they'll work
Hey is there going to be a second video on the other three clans, considering they are also in the box. Like the first hero unit clan rat gave you these three options but the second one gave you the other three. Also considering basically clan eshin and pestilince are non existent this edition
@@aaronwindham6065 already out pal
Think I’m gonna use a mix of the pestilens and verminus scheme.
Great choice!
Now I want to go paint some ratmen 😂
Hahahaha
more clans !!! (skurvy maybe)
I covered Skurvy here! ua-cam.com/video/kVKWb1ybwBM/v-deo.html
I think I have watched the skaven videos 3 times each now, and I still can’t decide which scheme to go with 😊
Solution… buy more rats!!
Hahaha there’s no bad decision and maybe you don’t have to pick just one clan?
Pestilins for the win.
Yeah they’re very cool!
Hey there! I really like this video and was going to use this for my rats soon. I was a little confused on the priming
So after the chaos black spray primer, is the application of grey seer also with the spray primer or the grey seer base paint? I'm not familiar with the term overcoat
Yeah two different sprays! Chaos Black as a full coat, then a spray mostly from above with the grey seer. This adds light and dark areas that helps see the model and where I put highlights etc. The lighter coat of grey seer also adds a bit of texture(too small to see with your eye) that helps the contrast paint cling to better! Hope that makes sense!
Super helpful thank you. Quick question. Doesn’t a shade over contrast paint, ruin the contrast effect?
I use contrast paints to get a base colour down quicker, I’m not really worried about the contrast part. The shade just adds to it anyway!
Clan Skrye please, yes-yes!
Come back tomorrow 😉
hi brill video
i love nurgle and was wondering is a pestilens skaven similar to a nurgle army?
if so thats how im gonna paint my skaventide skaven
Paint your clan rats as all the different, like it's a mix of 2 or 3 different clans just thrown together or it's a massive combined clan army and the clan rants have just mixed on the charge across the field.
More Clans please
Coming tomorrow!
Can you do skyre too in the next video??
Already did! Check the channel!
Yes yes rats ;]
🐀🐀🐀
Hi loving the video. I’m a complete noob so spoiler alert stupid question coming!
Video mentions all skaven clans are primed in same way using black primer then grey seer. Are these both primer spray cans if so have you or someone a video on how you apply that second primer?
Is it simply to apply a single spray such as to not block out the black?
Thanks
No stupid questions here!
Two different rattle/spray cans-one full coat of black, and a lighter coat of grey seer from above to add light/dark areas and also to add a small amount of grit(too small for the eye to see) from the lighter coating of grey seer to give the contrast paint a better surface to cling too. Contrast paints don’t work well on black primers, the colours won’t show up well.
Here’s a short showing the process, if you have any other questions please let me know!

@@MediocreHobbies genuinely thank you
Will be watching this video hundred times following all steps!
Used to collect skaven back in late 90s as a young kid, and recently got back into it. Got skaventide box set and your videos are simply going to be my go to - keep up the amazing content!
@@Odyssey2madness aw thanks so much man, love hearing that, it really keeps me going! a lot of changes since the 90's haha, the paints today make things way easier thank god!
What would equivalent paints be in the vallejo express and army painter speed paints?
There’s conversion charts online for different paint ranges!
More rats!
Potentially on the way!
i wold like also the engener clan see ;]
Any tips on painting white/albino rats?
I did a white rat ogre video!
@@MediocreHobbies I will check that out, thanks
More more
Looks like it might happen!
How do u prime the minis, black and then drybrush grey?
Here's how and why I prime the way I do!
Two different rattle/spray cans are used-one full solid coat of black, and a lighter coat of grey seer sprayed from above to add light/dark areas. The lighter coating of grey seer adds a small amount of grit(too small for the eye to see) from to give the contrast paint a better surface to cling too. Contrast paints don’t work well on black primers, the colours won’t show up well.
Here’s a short showing the process, if you have any other questions please let me know!
ua-cam.com/video/51Hx1uTmtSw/v-deo.htmlsi=pqC1tehDhkaxQOwq
plz more Clanzzzz
Coming out tomorrow!
anyone else wish genestaler cult was space rats instead hehehe
I hate how modern GW sculpts go together. Either you live with the gaps, or spend extra time filling and sanding them.
Clip the little of the joints. It works well after
im torn between skyre or eschin for my rats
Have a Skyre tutorial coming tomorrow!
I had one question why Black Undercoat + Grey Seer? Im new to the Hobby and wonder why
It’s a solid cost of black and a lighter coat of grey from above to add light/shadow. The lighter coat adds a bit of texture(not visible to the eye) that helps contrast paint cling to better! Hope that makes sense!
Make sense thanks for the answer @@MediocreHobbies
Is there anyone still painting without contrast paint?!? I just bought the Skaventide box, now looking for a non-contrast painting guide... :-(
Lots of channels don’t do speed paint videos! Best try them!
No Skryre 😢
Like I said, if I get enough requests there’ll be another video!
You only use Citadel paints, no wonder you think buying 50 paints from a bunch for different brands would bankrupt you. Other paint brands don't rip off their customers by overcharging them. 🤣
I’ve done plenty of videos using other paints, check the channel 😄
