Looking for some 28mm rat and bat swarms. These are for dungeon crawl type encounters.
Any suggestions for decent sculpts that are currently available?
Many thanks.

I like the GW Lord of the Rings Giant Bat Swarm

Maybe the cheap and cheerful Ral Partha rat swarm?

Or if you prefer individual rats, perhaps the Warbases ones? Two packs on one base would look a bit more swarm like.

Reaper bones have both rat and bat swarms.
I'm more of a giant rat kinda guy, but the bat swarm is lovely.
-
The Reaper bat swarm is nice, although attached to a gravestone - if you get the Bones version it will cut off easy enough and be cheap to replace if you cock it up. :)
As for rats, I think if you are looking at normal sized creatures rather than giants you may be stuck with GW or I think Black Tree do one?

Reapers Bones rats are very cheap for a pack of 6.

Thank you, some splendid options there to choose from.

Black Cat Bases do a nice rat swarm of normal sized rats.

This is very good - I cut the base off and used it in this vignette

For rats, add some "giants" in the swarm.

Scroll down. You get two in a pack for £1.75 ::)
