I figured this guy deserved his own thread, coming soon from On The Lamb Games...



The Rat Lord for the Vandalands faction. This is the first hero model for Vandalands, and will be included in the upcoming Warband box for the faction in addition to being available separately.

This three piece metal model can be a nice addition to any Rat themed army.

if possible, when you get the test metals, can you ink them and then get pics?

You mean Primer + a simple black wash? I think that can be arranged.

Yep, just to see all the detail. also a pic of his tail-side would be nice.

Tail is a separate bit for easier positioning.

I hate to be exasperating but how long is said tail? And how much is this guy set to be priced at?

Long enough? its in the other room, I'll try to get a pic of it tomorrow.

$6.99 by himself, or $34.99 for the Warband Box

Where's Mrs. Brisby when you need her?

You mean Mrs Frisby? Out in the back field..

BUT.. On topic, that guy looks ace!

About 25mm, with a slight curve and will bend to a slight degree like our other long tails.

Cluny the Scourge!!

What is going on with his legs and hips?

I see MGS is a fellow red wall enthusiast

Wow... yea Redwall. That reference tickled a part of my brain I haven't accessed in a long time. Well done sir

Thigh guards.

The model is also a good stand in for the Vandalands named hero, George the Scourge. At least until we start making models for the Unique heroes.

Seriously? Their placement and design makes it almost impossible to tell where the body ends and the legs begin.

Its easier to tell when your looking at the model, I'll try to get a different angle picture later today.

Or, as my brother - seven years old at the time - used to mistakenly call him: Clunky the Scourge.

I like him, I'm just not so keen on the whole 'valiant' look.

I like my rats small, sneaky and, well, rat-like .

Cy,

Do you know if the sword hand was blu-tacked on for the pic? The angle on it looks a little wonky... do you think pinning is going to be necessary to ensure that it stays in place?

Also, is that his helmet in his off-hand?

Its just held in place by Gravity, It can easily be glued in several positions (Its a ball & socket joint). Pinning is always a good choice when putting together metal models.

And yeah, thats a helmet in the off-hand.
