Wodschow Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 So Hamelin is coming out soon and he's bringing some mean, creepy, and nasty looking rats with him, which is of course all kinds of awesome. My problem is that Hamelin is likely to hit 7+ rats during a good game, there's only three different Wyrd sculpts and I really don't like multiples. So asking if anyone know of some sweet sculpts from other companies? Preferably it'd be some skinny/slim looking ones like the real ones - but this might be too much to ask. There's of course the Rats GW made for Skaven and Reaper have also made a few ones: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/rats But I'd like to see if anyone had some better ideas I know I once saw a manufacturer of all sorts of this kind of miniature critters, but I cannot remember their name (and there's probably others aswell that I never knew nothing about).

Ratty Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Trisha Morisson did some really nice rats a while back for GW. quite often they are sold on ebay under the name chaos rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodschow Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Ah.. Did some googling and figured that you apparently get alot of spare giant rats with the Skaven Doom Wheel and Plague Monks.. So could probably just ask for a few from a Skaven player.. Only checked the GW store at first and the ones sold separately are.. Well.. I don't like them. Trisha Morisson did some really nice rats a while back for GW. quite often they are sold on ebay under the name chaos rats. I wonder why GW would trash those for the current ones.. These look pretty cool. Also I had expected a better(/longer) answer from our only (+2)Rat Master. :@ If anyone knows of other stuff I'd still like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tonnes of them. GW has done 3 different runs of metal rats though. between them you have probably at least 10+ different sculpts. (Looking through my spares I have 9 different sculpts without the chaos rats) These by Otherworld are very nice http://www.dzurstreasures.com/servlet/the-13125/Otherworld-DV3a-Giant-Rats/Detail but quite expensive per rat.

Ratty Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hmm.. the plastics aren't as bad as I thought, but maybe a bit small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 16.20$ for 4 rats? sadface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyran Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 $16.20 seems a bit exessive it works out at around 10 quid, for the extra pound can get a pack of 5 from the same company here (they do a pack of 20 for 30 quid too but 20 rats may be a bit much for even hamlin) http://www.otherworld.me.uk/dvseries.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodschow Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks! That's the site I was originally thinking of ^^" Had jsut forgotten the name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickman5 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I use the Vornskrr from Star Wars Minis(WOTC), they are a bit large for ht1 models but definitely fit the rabid/plague rat feeling for Hammelin. Plus you can get them very cheap off ebay (I picked up 12 for $3.00 awhile back.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apokra Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hmm.. the plastics aren't as bad as I thought, but maybe a bit small (Redacted picture) I was thinking using a Sewer base from Wyrd with two or so on a base... I feel it looks a bit crowded but gives the feel I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
