A Clawlord for League Play, and the Rest of the Rats on the Table
We had a small but very relatable hobby update this time: one key model ready for league play, the whole batch assembled, and painting progress sitting at a very honest 30%.
Michał showed off his Clawlord for league games, and it immediately got a reaction from us. As Ender put it, the headbutt looks dangerous — and honestly, that really sums up the model’s energy. It has exactly the kind of aggressive, slightly over-the-top pose we love seeing in Skaven characters.
The other very important milestone: everything is already assembled. Anyone who paints armies in batches knows this is a bigger step than it sounds. Once the glue phase is done, the project suddenly feels real — no more pile of sprues, just an actual force waiting for paint.
Right now, though, the army is at that classic in-between stage: about 30% painted so far. Which, let’s be honest, is a very familiar place in this hobby. Enough done to see the direction, enough left to keep the painting desk busy for a while.
We like these moments in an army project. Not the polished “everything finished” reveal, but the middle of the journey — when a standout character is ready, the rest is built, and the whole collection is slowly coming together model by model. That’s usually where the army starts getting its own personality.
Good luck with the league games, and with pushing that painted percentage steadily upward. One dangerous-looking Clawlord is a very solid start.
