Here is the magnets and the drill I used.
The magnets are 2mm diameter by 1mm thick disk neodymium magnets. The drill I use raw (won’t fit in my pin vice) but the GW plastic is just the right density to be easily drilled buy hand. Thanks GW plastics Industrial Chemists.

Skaven Rat Ogre

Skaven Rat Ogre
Skaven Rat Ogre, or at least one of the two from the Island of Blood box set.  Relatively straight forward but for the copious flesh colour which can be tricky.  Not sure I did the best job of it but it’s good enough.  Deviated from the translucent skin effect that the GW painters employed showing raw muscle and sinew.  I didn’t really think about it until I checked the book later and went “oh yeah” but by then it was too late.  Good thing too because not sure my skills were up to it.  The black fur in the photo looks a bit ‘not painted’ it’s less so in real life but you do get that general impression.  Might have to highlight more with blue or grey.  I don’t like painting a lot of black for that reason, probably should have gone for brown fur.
