Hey, in my search for variety, I have looked into a Rat Ogre based list for my Skaven. I like it, but Rat Ogres are WAY too expensive for my tastes, being $40 for 2. Yes, the box also gives me Packmasters and giant rats, but it doesn't feel worth it. So, I look to you, my beloved Dakka Community to help me find suitable conversion ideas/alternative models for Rat Ogres. I thought of ratting up the Ogre Bulls box, but that's a lot of conversion, and probably require a bit of Rat Ogre parts. lol

Anyways, any help you can give is most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How about Ogres or Trolls, modelled to be giant slaves of the Skaven (in chains or with brain surgery), but still counting as Rat Ogres?

Check out this thread OP , new and cheaper rats for you :3

Whoa...if those new Rat Ogres are real...Oh my. I already planned on getting the starter set (perhaps a few times over) but now I'm certain.

Hm, but sadly those models will most likely be very...static. They look GORGEOUS, but I wouldn't want 6 of the same ones in a group. Might still take up that brain controlled Ogre idea. It's similar to what I had planned for my slaves.

Thanks to both of you! The scheming continues!
