Kreeka, Seer of the Ratmen
![](https://img.webme.com/pic/m/mitklauenundzaehnen/sn851091.jpg)
The rats are crawling out of their caves and the time of human-things will soon be over!
I don't remember what inspired the idea, but one day I decided I would make a Skaven costume. And why start small - if I chose to spoil the surface with my presence as digusting ratling, I could rather be the highest servant of the Horned Rat itself - a Grey Seer!*
(*A female Grey Seer? Is that even possible with Skaven, where the females normally are mere breeders? Yes, it is! If you want to know more, check Kreekas Story!)
I planned to wear the costume at the German Games Day 2013 in Cologne, so the deadline was set - August 11th 2013, 10 am (I kind of missed it. I admit. We arrived at 11 am.) And believe me, I really used every minute of it! I was still glueing fur on the mask and sewing shoes during the five hour journey it took from Kiel to Cologne, I think I was done (if there is such a thing with these projects) fifteen minutes before arrival.
The last days had been completely stressful, I had slept around 90 minutes the night before, the mask was too tight, the suit too hot - and it was absolutely worth it!
Not only did I love the countless faces, surprised, laughing and exited, the enthused reactions of the GW staff and visiting celebs, I also won the first place in the costume competition!
Soon you will find a complete Overview of costume and character, for now have a look at some pictures my spouse took at the Games Day 2013 in Cologne:

Free admission if I spare their miserable little lives...?

Just another species of abhuman, right, Mylord Inquisitor? Nothing to watch out for...

After a long, hard day full of intrigues and schemes...

... I need a break. Do they sell Skavenbrew on the surface?

Fluffy and harmless, right, Mum?
Right...?
