Clan of the Drowned Rat - 1102.5/1500 points painted in March '14

Hello, and welcome to the insanity! I've teamed up with a friend of mine over on the Miniwargaming forums, to paint as many Skaven as possible during the month of March. I'm personally planning on setting the goal of having a 1500 point army done to a tabletop quality, and will go even further if I can! I'm sure I'll have to take a second pass at it later, as I'd like to enter it into the Golden Rat contest. 

I love Clan Eshin, and I think of the Clan of the Drowned Rat as a descendent. I envision them as being very mysterious, showing up with no warning to accomplish an objective and then disappearing. Very few have seen them, and those that have are startled at their appearances in places that should take weeks or months to travel to in a matter of days, sometimes hours! I figure most of their work is done around Mordheim, which would explain their green glowing eyes and wealth. I went for a Tunnel/Cave basing scheme, and will do Dwarf and Night Goblin slaves to match. These slaves will also belong in their own armies, whether I play them or not I want to have matching armies in a theme ;)

I'll be painting them in dark colors, mainly black and red. The lower the ranking, the more color they will have (so as to draw attention away from the leadership). 

Painted:

25 Clan Rats
Plaguewind Mortar
Ikit Claw
2 Assassins
Warplightning Cannon
