Title: Who makes giant rats?
Post by: Vermis on February 10, 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?

Mega minis did a really good rat swarm pack that had some rous's in, if you inquire with them
Johnny might still do them and if not he can tell you who has them now

Ta all! Some nice suggestions in there. Although, maybe not that unusual a size, Fingers. :D Thanks, though.

Reaper's Bones line has packs of big rats. Not Shetland-pony-sized, more like sofa-cushion, Corgi-dog-sized.

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

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.

Reaper's Barrow Rats are some rodents of unusual size.  They won't fit on a 25mm base.
