WFB: Rats In Unusual Numbers

My buddy Rico and I were talking about playing Warhammer Fantasy Battle again, and I realized I had not yet shown off my recently completed unit of 60 Giant Rats. Yes, I went there. It is a horde of hordes, and surprisingly effective in the two games I have fielded them in.

If anything, they're a tar-pit that when placed in the center of my lines, proves difficult to avoid!











In making the unit I used GW rats from every conceivable source, including Necromunda and some long OOP fantasy models (thanks, Lou!).

As impressive as they are, a bit of good cannon fire sends them packing! They are Skaven, after all!

Thanks for looking!

  1. Like the white rat in the center ... gives a visual center point that makes it more attractive than just bland browns and blacks.

  2. Thanks! He's a big, old, OOP GW metal rat.

  3. Lovely horde there - I love painting rats, I have a nice bunch of them with a Necromunda beastmaster wyrd :) I picked up a few of the IoB Skaven plastics a little while ago - It's hard to keep them at a warband level when GW are bringing out such nice new minis for them, and hobby folks like yourself are painting them so nicely!
