Title: Help finding non GW skaven please.
Post by: smokezombie on 20 January 2013, 01:04:30 PM
Hey all.
I am thinking of restarting a skaven warband for mordheim as I had so much fun playing as them the last time round despite their rotten luck and am looking for a bit of help sourcing non GW rat men.
Does anyone know any good manufacturers?
Help would be much appreciated.

A couple of other options (though possibly out of date) on the frothers showcase

Four A miniatures also do a nice oriental ratman

Bushido have a Nezumi (http://www.bushido-thegame.com/catalog/nezumi-includes-3x-rat), too big for normal skaven judging from the pics. Might work for a rat ogre though.

Reaper used to make Mouselings and Ratlings, rumor has it they can still produce them for special orders.  I use a couple hundred in my Skaven army.
