Title: Searching for Wererat figures.
Post by: robh on 18 April 2014, 12:53:37 PM: I am looking for figures to use as upright form wererats for a fantasy campaign.
Must be true 25mm sized so much smaller than Skaven/Vyrmyn figures. (upright form as in looks like a rat but standing up).
I have human form and (giant) rat form but lack the stage between.

Anyone know a range where I can find true 25mm ratmen?
Thanks

The RP ones are perfect but I had looked through the RPE lists and nothing like that is in production as far as I can tell. Presumably not all the AD&D licensed models got rescued.

Top of my (limited) options list at the moment is the Grenadier Ratscum figures but I cannot find any size comparison on those. They look quite bulky for true 25mms.

Quite a few on ebay at the moment although heavy postage from the US...

Post by: robh on 18 April 2014, 06:37:23 PM: Thanks Dave, I was not sure about the Ratscum. I will look at the IWM shipping costs, they are not on the RPE site though? I have PM'd one of the eBay sellers so hopefully can get some joy there.(@joshuaslater, thanks also).
@Timotl, Unfortunately the Otherworld range are always too big/bulky for my collection and too expensive for my budget :(

Yes, found the figures at IWM but not on the Ral Partha Europe (RPE) site, which theoretically should be the same range? just without the frightening shipping cost.
