Very nice, I like it a lot!

The new Doomwheel is a gorgeous model, and your paintjob does its part as well. Well done!

Looks really nice. I particularly like the way you've done different colours for each wooden panel on the wheel.
I hope you dont mind but I've posted the images for you.... I hate links! If you do mind let me know and I'll take them straight down

Its fine to post them up like that  :-D 

I only did it as links to get the bigger photos up, as I didn't take any close ups, and the light has pretty much gone now here.  I will try to get some close-up pictures tomorrow or whenever I can actually get some decent light!

Took me around 10 hours all told to paint!  Probably the longest I have ever spent on a model!

10 hours well spent !
 
(I once, about 20 years ago, spent 70-80 hours on Teclis and he doesn't look this good.

The only part I am not 100% happy with is the base.  Its very bland!  It is however identical to all my other bases in my armies, so thats why it is staying!

70 hours on a model?!
why?

Becaus I really wanted him to look good and it was my first army ?

Thats not too bad really though.  I know people who spend upwards of 100 hours on models, although they are usually larger monsters!

Im generally not patient enough to do a good job.  My skaven army currently looks like this.

Painted:  Queek, 2 assassins, 6 gutter runners, 2 poison wind globadiers, 1 warpfire thrower, an old skrye warlock, doomwheel

Half painted: BSB, 4 chieftains/warlords, warp lightning cannon, abomination, grey seer, screaming bell

Not painted: 200 clanrats/slaves, 70 plague monks, 10 plague censors, plague furnace, 2 plague priests, 75 giant rats, 8 rat ogres, 12 pack masters, 35 stormvermin, 5 jezzails, 2 ratling guns, 1 warpfire thrower, 1 warlord, 5 warlock engineers, 20 night runners, 1 rat ogre bonebreaker conversion, 3 poison wind globadiers and 4 rat swarms.

Salvage pile:  Models that were painted badly:  Vermin lord, needs stripping.

Something tells me this army will never get completed!

Sign up for the 'W-E Tale of Many Gamers' challenge. It might give you a bit of a shove with getting things done, plus its going to be a lot of fun!

My problem is that skaven are not the only army I am painting :(  I have a 3000 point wood elf army, a 3500 pt 40k chaos army, and a 4000pt 40k eldar army that need doing as well!  My empire army is more or less complete aside a small amount of cavalry so that can be ignored [phew!]

250 points a month is a regiment of around 55 skaven models a month.  Or more worryingly, around 125 slaves!  I don't think I could possibly commit to that, as I would never ever complete it!

Fair enough, that might be a bit of a stretch!!

I am now working on two small units of plague censor bearers.  A unit of 6 and a unit of 7   :-D

Nice paint job, but the base is too boring, throw in some rocks or broken weapon or......something.

The base lets it down.. a lot

I will think about doing something with the base :)  Ill keep this updated if I do.
