So far I thought maybe I could make rat ogres in a way so that I could put some of the armour on them. I was woundering is this possible? or is there a better way to do it? I'd like to know before I get any of the kits so I don't waste money. BTW its for a space skqven themed army.

You will probably end of needing to green stuff all the armor on as i dont think they make space skaven armor of that size and shape

you could be lazy and just paint the skin metallic for "Flesh metal" but thats kinda lame i think

I could but I want to go all out and do a kick ass army a ibl just fnished putting together my second squad of nurgle marines and they look awesome if I do say so myself I just want the green stuff to dry. Then I can paint.

Hmmm

then perhaps you could try the ogryn bits.

the new kit has armor plating actually now that i recall.

Nothing very space marinesy but at least it would be armored rats

then give them suitably jacked up arms with weapons popping out the wazoo.

Oustanding idea. I'd recommend checking into Tyranid sprues for random armor plates. They look great with a bone finish, bonus is that there are always interesting bits you can cut off and use on chaos models. You could also cut away at the rat ogre model and use Terminator parts to build out some arms.

Here is a visual of my recent chaos lord WIP for an example of what I'm talking about.
