Yes, sorry, the Clan Rats in the battalion are indeed the new versions.

*nod nod . The metal one are just beautiful . The sculpts are filled with raw power displayed by the ogres + the mutilation are really detailed .

I still love my metal storm vermins though ( i think they are well sculpted , oh and they line up properly! some what )

My current clan rats... have no tail , i think i threw them away... because they would NOT line up at all .
Time to demote them into slaves ( see i love skaven ! recycling the models! )

Whats wrong with rat ogres? Obviously it's a Dakka meme I somehow missed.

P.S. it's not because you found a pube on one of the rat ogre sprues?

This is pretty much the best way to delimit clanrats from slaves, dock the tails of the slaves. A painful and humiliating punishment for being born from the wrong litter or from a defeated clan. Its a very skaven thing to do IMHO.
