Title: Rats in Space
Post by: KeyanSark on 22 July 2010, 10:18:33 PM

I have created some pulpy aliens to use with Fantastic Worlds using many bits from GW, mainly skaven bodies and a lot of parts from other boxes...

This is the little leader, with a mask make to inspire fear in his own troops

A sneaky assasin

A hero with big weapon

Very cool - the skull mask is inspired. It's a shoulder-pad from a GW Chaos Marauder, is that right? Great idea. Rats in space would work well for some alien colour in sci-fi games, so consider this idea well and truly ripped off!

In this case, rat brutes, bodyguards for the big rat king... I need to paint that old rat ogre that is lying in the lead mountain for ages :D

great stuff Kenyan.
are those lasguns from the original plastic Imp Guard?

I might just have to rip off this idea too!

Surely the ideal adversaries for Space Amazon Ninja Catgirls?

Yes, they are  ;)

And the leader mask is a shoulder pad from the chaos marauders stuff...

I want to create some rules now, for Fantastic Worlds... But, damn! Now I need to make some Ninja Catgirls!  ;D

I did the exact same thing several years ago when I wanted to run Skaven in 40k.

Of course mine don't look half as good as yours.

Great stuff!

I'm also doing some rats in space for a superhoero project I'm working on. They're called 'Krai' and are described as 'ursine' but in the illustrations looks 'lupine' to me, but with the bits I have... I'm cheating, I'm just sticking old Skaven heads onto Tau bodies.

I really like what you've done with these. Very nice job!

Very nice. I've always liked skaven.They remind me a little of the GothRats from the old Shockforce game.
There was a full range of rats with modern weapons aswell as some in Terminator (40K) style power armour.

You can still sometimes pick them up on Ebay etc.
