Final_Crucible Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 So my friend (SN = Noire) was talking about something we'd like to see with Hamelin when he is updated for M2E...and I thought the idea was so fantastic I wanted to share it with all of you (and maybe get an opinion from Justin ) So it would be cool to have his Rats turned into Vermin. This would allow for sculptors to change them to be different than just a bunch of rats...like you could have a pile of cockroaches and raccoons or something. I think it would allow for more flexibility and kinda address the fact he is a giant fleshbag of vermin Thoughts? Justin, got any opinions?

Ausplosions Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Because the Pied Piper of Hamelin was well remembered from the time he saved the town from Raccoons.. ;-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_Crucible Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Okay, maybe not raccoons...but the vermin trait is on rats and the mosquitos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike3838 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 There ain't nothing stopping you using raccoon models to represent your rats, but rats and children are *much* more thematic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helm Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I seem to recall Hamelin himself as basically being a sack of possessed insects. Not that what I'm saying would make any impact (at this late stage of testing or any other), but a variety of Vermin models would certainly make collecting Hamelin more interesting. Rat swarms, beetle swarms (flying?), the Mosquitos, possibly some variation on Canine Remains. Infected and possessed livestock were also in the third book, although not having read the fourth I don't know if that situation was ever resolved.

Valcurdra Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I like the idea actually it will give a lot more variety to a Hamelin crew. You could always sub in your own models but would be nice and a lot less work to have official ones. At the very least I hope we get a lot of cool rat models.

Iron Heel Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have plans for a Hamelin crew and was looking to use rats and alternates to make things visually interesting. I figured that I'd just have them all as "rats" rules-wise and any opponent could easily follow that all of my small non-human figures are rats.
