The ratmen cometh
Will flesh this out later on the desktop but nice to get some painted models on the table. I expect like most people you can blame Andy Chambers and White Dwarf 137 for this. Pictures to follow once I'm somewhere with a decent internet connection. EDIT: still can't figure out how to post pictures. Will come back to this. Anyway, it would be nice to get hold of all the old metal clanrats and slaves, although I doubt it will ever happen. I'm not adverse to third party models either, some of the Ral Partha stuff will fit in lovely. I also need some rat ogres (the big lads designed by a Perry I think). Have ordered another load of monopose plastic clanrats off Ebay. Should be easy to paint (contrast brown for fur, contrast yellow/purple for clothes, metal for metal (!), pink for tail, shade with nuln oil, done). Future ideas- RAF (rat air force)- bodge up an old airfix model of one of those odd looking WW1 planes plus/minus doomwheel bits. Also one of those new Cathay balloons...
