The dreaded Under Empire has terrorised the surface dwellers of the Warhammer World with seeming impunity. Its not funny when Skaven appear in your living room with the intent of using your innards as comic relief. Many consider the Grey Tide to be unstoppable, but the truth is, that for every famous victory, those cowards and sneaks suffer several ignominious defeats. Their primary tactic of appearing without warning from tunnels can, at times, be a weakness.

This was actually the first one Bob thought of, but he needed to go through the use of technology learning curve from the dice project before he could execute it well. The riddle has been going through Bob's head for 8 weeks. What has it got in its pocketses indeed!

Minecraft All day at my place

Also inspired by Brother of Friend of Daughter of Bob, in a roundabout way. He had more of a mushroom cloud in mind.

Another true story. Bob complained that he had been struggling with Chuck Norris all afternoon. Daughter of Bob (age 10), without even blinking, said, "If that were true, you would be in hospital."

As patient readers will discover (spoiler alert), "History's Least" became "History's Most Cheaply Produced Competition"

To save Y'all 5 pages of unbearable suspense, here are the winning entries. (*)

Conratulations.

However tonight belongs to the grand prize winners.

The First Runner Up in the "Skaven fail to invade Pamplona during the running of the bulls" competition, with his touching depiction of the bull who dreamed he could fly:

Please join me in applauding Qupakoco to whom goes the prestigious "Cornered Rat"

Of course, there can only be one overall winner, and I wish to thank that person for providing some of the most disturbing images yet seen in the Warhammer World. His (or her) entry distills the lithe dynamism of a falling cow with the disturbing lack of scale or perspective which we have come to expect from Games Workshop. Students of high art should examine the use of a low point of view, a Spanish jockstrap and a deft excuse to embellish what might otherwise have been a mundane image.

I really would like to go in with the eye dropper and clean the insertions up, but I don't have anything good like Photoshop. Just MS Paint and a shortage on free time.

As befits his status as Champion of all Lustria, Newscales receives the "Conquistador del la Rata"

Conratulations to all competition entrants.

(* the prizes will make a lot more sense if you have read the "Spawning of Bob and Friends" Thread http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/spawning-of-bob-and-friends.10886/)
 
Re: Spawning of Bob - Historys Least Successful Skaven Invas

I like the Ogre one the most!

Great work Bob!
 
Re: Spawning of Bob - Historys Least Successful Skaven Invas

I like the Realm of Chaos one the best.

Spawning of Bob is my incentive to check these forums for new posts everyday.
 
Re: Spawning of Bob - Historys Least Successful Skaven Invas

Can someone check on n810? Bob thinks he may have been abducted by Skaven.

Bob had this all ready to go and everything...

fn810.png

Bob has a couple more in the pipeline, but they are soooo time consuming to do, that the publishing date was being pushed out unsatisfactorily.

I'll edit them into the original post (along with any other suggestions that you might have)
 
Re: Spawning of Bob - Historys Least Successful Skaven Invas

I was scrolling through almost certain that n810 was going to have his ASF reply.

Great work on each picture. I like the dwarf and the ogre best I think.
 
Re: Spawning of Bob - Historys Least Successful Skaven Invas

I guess I got the first one this time.
 
Re: Spawning of Bob - Historys Least Successful Skaven Invas

OK OK. Capn Aarli Strikes First. Here you go.

Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

Good one!

Still no N810 though...
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

:P
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

n810's "small target" policy with the typographical errors seems to be paying off.....
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

Just been through all of these posts. Totally awesome stuff. Looking forward to more.
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

Suggestions for Skaven incursions, please!

There must be some I've missed....
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

coming up between two armies advancing on each other, like when the clansmen in Braveheart made their lines down the field and looked like they were gonna scrap

drilling out from underneath a "war room" table

sabertusk litterbox

underneath the whomping willow

tower of pisa

whack-a-mole game

*i'm still working on my first cup of coffee
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

Throw in some mysterious forests/Rivers. Also, show some love for Tomb Kings (mummies and scorpions).
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

Thanks for the inspiration!

New images edited into the original post.
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

house of cards or a Jenga match

great wall of china

the jeep/t-rex scene from Jurassic Park

the vault scene from a die hard/ocean's 11/italian job, etc. type movie

the free game skill hole from a putt-putt/mini golf place
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

Stupid Warp-Grinder. I'd pour that cup of cocoa right down their dumb little tunnel.

How about...

Drilling into the tunnel of a Tyranid Mawloc.

In a graveyard where zombies and skeletons are being actively raised.

Popping up below a couple Kroxigor who are about to set down a large stone for a temple.
 
Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

So many suggestions!

I have created a monster!

I have created several monsters!

Welcome to Spawning of Bob's "Monsters created in the "History's Least" Thread"

Re: Spawning of Bob: History's Least Successful Skaven Invas

OK, back to hurtin' Skaven. New failures are edited into the original post.

Bob offers you a challenge.

Find attached your favourite comical rats emerging from floor, roof, ceiling, underground, wherever.

They can be used as per the "Council of Elrond" incursion.
jelrond.jpg

Qupakoco can go find his own Tyranid Mawloc (I looked for it in the WHFB bestiary, couldn't find it. Must be in Storm of Magic). Anyone else is welcome to go seeking whatever peril they desire.

For the survivors, the challenge is this:

Post here your best effort for "Skaven fail to invade Pamplona during the running of the bulls"

Son and Daughter of Bob will be the judges. A prestigious award awaits. Bonus points if you also include a Chuck Norris themed invasion.

Technical notes:
I use MS paint cos' its free. Copy an image from the web. Paste image into paint. Copy your chosen rats from this page and paste on top. Resize, rotate, flip and position the rats before you click anywhere else. Use the eyedropper tool to "pick up" the background colour from the original image and then the bucket tool to fill the area around the rats. If blending is required, I usually use the spray can. If you don't do microsoft, you are obviously a lot smarter than me and won't need instructions.

And thank-you, Old Mossy. If you hadn't put me onto MS paint for the dice project back in March, I would still be drawing stick figures.

Here are the rats. Don't post this back:

I already thought of that.

If you need a higher or lower resolution version, try pestering me.

Challenge laid. Lets have some mayhem.
