The Chittering (mini)Horde of Clan Skitr approached a small expeditionary force of High Elves from Ulthuan in the dead of night, using the darkest hours before dawn to creep and skitter into the elvish camp and slit some disgustingly pale elven throats.
Ack!
The smart-git elf-water-guard spotted snit-craw as he crept behind it and let out a loud shout even as snit-craw slipped his sharp between the guard's platemail and into the elf-squish! Snit-craw will be cast into the clanslave pits upon our inevitably victorious return...

Pity that this beautiful, almost ethereal, moonlit landscape houses the lowest form of life. The rats have scarred the land and it is our job, our responsibility and our honor to reclaim it. Light-of-foot, we will speed towards the rabble gathering of the unwashed and we will fertilise the scorched, ravaged land with the blood of those that have plundered it to near barrenness. The greater race will always be victorious.

The Chittering Horde Battleplan
Hey there,
I'm using this blog to keep a record of the painting and development of my warhammer Skaven army.
I started with the Island of Blood starter set, (my fiance claimed the austere High Elves and I was more than happy to claim those two rat ogres and warpfire thrower!).
I started by gluing together all the units in the starter army (ready to start playing ASAP) which includes;
2x clanrat regiments (20 models with clawleader, musician and standard bearer)
1x warpfire thrower weapon team (to be attached to a clanrat regiment)
1x poisoned wind mortar weapon team (attached to the other clanrat regiment)
1x warlock engineer with warplock pistol
1x skaven warlord with halberd
2x rat ogre and 1x master moulder (to keep 'em in line!)
I'm aiming to play with the army as is whilst painting up all the units, hopefully to a good quality.
Then by the time I've painted the army I'll have enough experience fielding a skaven army to make good choices for the next few units... but definitely including some stormvermin!
