Evening all.
I was reading through the plastic BB team post earlier and noticed that quite a few people have made Skaven teams from the plastic Clan Rat box set. I was wondering if anyone had pics of their conversions as i'm thinking of undertaking this project myself and the inspiration would help greatly.
Thanks in advance.

I have one team, but never took pics..

the best I have ever seen is by Longfang - he did it around 6 years ago with the older multi-part plastics.. a search on TFF might help find them.. they were called the Hashrats from memory

The rats from Mordheim would work well also. It comes with lots of cool skaven bitz.

Risky... if the referee spots that you may end up without players in the field!
Unless you always buy a ton of bribes of course!

I too have a skaven team converted with the older multi-part plastic skaven box.
I might try to find a similar (old) box if I were to do another skaven team.

The old multi-part ones (originally for Mordheim) worked brilliantly. A mate converted and painted a team for a league years ago: https://picasaweb.google.com/darkson/FreakEEKShow#
(Excuse the paintjob - they were a "rush & ready" effort just for the league - they weren't meant for being shown elsewhere).

I'm not sure the newer Skaven sets offer the same convertability.

first of all excuse me for my bad english
sure, you're right.

my trainer is a Snikch, my medical is a Lord Skrolk, and my big guy is a ogre rat........I'm a dirty rat with no oficial team in the pitch
but i won't buy a mordheim team and BB team cuz is too expensive both

Incredible team and my personal fav is the rat ogre. I have held that model a dozen times yet it still installs a feeling of "never seen anything like it" each time I see it. All that strapping on the back (the ring and the leather belts) is all green stuff - all sculpted from nothing.
Amazing

Truly awesome.

I'm working on a Skaven team. Granted it would never be anything like the Hashrats, but this is truly inspiring!
