I was just curious how many dakkanoughts would be willing to play against an army with such 'counts as':

Slightly converted IoB Rat Ogre as Typhus
Clanrats as Plague Zombies (Bases built up to match the height of Cultists)
Hell Pit Abomination as Maulerfiend
Stormvermin as Obliterators ..doh! Here I mean the new Stormfiends, not Stormvermin.

All on the correct sized bases with height differences accounted for.

Sure.

A great idea. All my cultists and IA13 heretics are Skaven. Dollar to model ratio is pretty damn good, as you can pick up like 40 isleofblood clanrats for about 10$ on ebay, and all the GW boxes have lots of models (20 stormvermin for 30$) make it really easy to fill out hoards of bodies. If you can get your hands onto lots of DE witch-weapons, or kroot rifles, they fit very well to give them some guns (not really important for zombies i guess)
All the new skaven models fit pretty damn well into 40k. The new verminlord makes a perfect greater daemon of pretty much any alignment.

Here are some of mine. Some are on boosted bases, and I've mixed a lot of stormvermin into the units as champions and special weapons, which are the same height as guardsmen.

I would gladly play against it sounds like a cool army to play against

Wytch Weapons and Kroot Rifles, hadn't considered those at all, was looking into possible Reek weapons.

Don't even know what these are, so I voted no.

Iv no issues with it so long as its all built panted and on the right bases and equipped properly.

Like Typhus should still be in something resembling the or the bulk of terminator armor. and the obliteRATors should have far more armor to get that 2+ save.

This sounds like a cool concept. I'd definitely enjoy playing against it. Especially if effort was put in to carry them over to the new setting (as McGibs has done)

Though Obliterators should be based on a larger model. Either Rat Ogres or those new Gun toting ones that just came out.

All those rats look the same... Since I know nothing of WHFB I wouldn't be as okay with it since I wouldn't recognize the differences in the models. Unless those are all one unit type shown and the differences are really obvious in the others. But I'm still going to give it a soft no but could be convinced with little effort.

They are vary obvious between clanrats, new storm vermin, and rat ogers.

I'd have no problem at all. My only request would be that each unit be written down till I had it clear what counted as what. Sounds like a fun counts as army.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I've realised I did get my Stormvermin mixed up with the new Stormfiends which should be of an appropriate size.

Woah, I love these. Great inspiration, thank you.

Definitely, something different if done right is always welcome.

I would. PM me my flight details from BWI to your closest airport, and lets do this!
