Ishoo Twentee-Too: Skaven Reactor

The sinister warp-stone reactors of the loathesome rat-men and thier vile kin are such an iconic image that I'm supised every skaven player doesn't have one. What is more suprising is that a good skaven reactor is only a week-end project - hell I got this one done in a day, but then I'm on summer hols right now. Sure it's got a hell of a lot of steps, but it's mostly a case of throwing things at it and seeing what sticks, there's really no major construction.
Anyways, it's so gosh-darned simple even a hippo could do it - take it away Grot!












Note: The cunning-smart thing on top of the capsule is a doll's eye fastener. They come with doll's eyes, which can be bought from any decent craft shop.



















Note: Liquid masking fluids are available from all art and hobby shops. If you don't have any, plugging the hole with blu-tac would work just as well.








And there you have it, thanks Skveek!
Remember to vote in the Ishoo Twenty-For readers poll at the top of the page on the right, and stay tuned for next ishoo where we'll be having a look at Egyptian tombs!

Ishoo Twenty-Wun: Steampunk Factory

Apologies for the delay hippo fans - I completed this project quite a while ago now, but life in the form of report writing, campus moving and computer confustication intervened. Anyways, here, to celebrate my taking up of Warmachine and the curious conversion to Warmachine of many of my club-mates, behold the steampunk factory!




















And there you have it hippo fans! Further steampunkery will follow in due course - but next ishoo keep a weather eye out for Ishoo Twenty-Too: Skaven Reactor, with special guest host!
