Title: Who makes giant rats?
Post by: Vermis on 10 February 2015, 06:00:17 PM: I'm trying to pick out sources for 28mm giant rats. Not GW's current plastic ones, which are the ones I have and want to offload. Not ratmen either. Just rodents of unusual size. ;)

I know of the few sold by Reaper, Ral Partha Europe, Otherworld, and Lead Adventure. Any others I could throw into the chittering swarms, to add even more variety?

Johnny might still do them and if not he can tell you who has them now

And inexpensive, so you can field bunches of 'em.

Post by: Vermis on 11 February 2015, 07:51:26 PM: Blimey, there are quite a few, aren't there? Ta again!

Fingers: I'm looking for rats for Mayhem Skaven, so I can whip up a profile for wolf rats or even wolf rat riders pretty quick. TBH, if I do that, I think I'd like to convert or even sculpt my own.
