Internet y u no have giant rat?
« on: February 22, 2013, 11:54:20 AM »
I'm trying to make my Nurgle CSM army 100% Rat-based.  I've got ideas for almost everything... but I can't seem to find Rats that are about the right size to serve as a Nurgle bike, so that I can put a rat dude on the top as the rider.    Anybody seen anythign like that?   I can find lots of small rats, like the ones that come with Skaven... but nothing quite big & nasty looking enough to be a bike.

I've seen rubber rats of about the right size.  Don't think you really want to use those though.

Why not use Doom Wheels for Bikes?

Doomwheel is TOO big, I think.

Wolf rats.  Just what the doctor ordered, thanks Keith.   They're maybe a bit on the small side for a bike but close enough.

I've actually already been playing with a Ratty nurgle army for a while.  I started way back in the day with my Daemon army because I don't really like having intestines hanging out of my nurgle guys, so I went with the "rat" thing instead.   I have Veer-myn for the plague marines, Plague Monks for the Plague zombies, etc.  It's just that I painted it badly (trying to make stuff look diseased but really it just looks muddy), and is kind of half-assed (currently has many models that has nothing to do with rats).   I wanna go all the way with this thing and make it beautiful.    Sure I'll post pics when I'm happy with it, also I'm sure I'll be bringing it to many more tournaments someday.

Rats in space...  because you know... Rats have diseases.  Maybe it's a lesser known aspect of Nurgle who likes to mutate his minions into become more ratlike.

In fantasy the Skaven fluff is tied into Nurgle lore, so makes perfect sense.

I'm sure Ratlings get sick. That's explanation enough for me.
