As for the chest ratling gun, the issue I have is; I'm aware that they're giant bipedal rats, but the chest cannon has no ammo feed.

Is it me or are those skaven characters 'cheap'? (At least compared to the $30 clams we have been seeing.)

It's just you. £13.50 for a small, 20mm base character is almost as bad as £18 for a larger 25mm base Space Marine character.

So it isn't just me since they are cheaper than the current batch of clams we have been getting. Thanks.

They're cheaper, but equally bad value. And they're not cheaper than other Fantasy ones actually. The Oldblood and Nurgle lord are £9 I think. They're cheaper than the £18 SM characters, but those are frankly ridiculous. They're only £2.50 less than Gutrot Spume I belive, who's on a 40mm base.

Yeah it is, but I wager the company moon opinion will be that £13.50 is ridiculous for a 20mm based model..

I presume they're shooting blobs of some sort of warpstone/liquid goo

you can see feed tubes to each arm and over the right shoulder for the chest mounted version (and I guess there will be some sort of tank when we finally see the back)

If they are meant to be firing standard 'bullets' then I'm stumped as to how any of them will feed

Rats generate lots of waste, maybe it's a poopling gun?

Company moon?

My question wasn't on their value or whether it was more or less than old characters. It was quite simple: Are they cheaper than the current batch of clams we have been seeing? Yes, they are.

No you asked if they were cheap compared to recent clams, which is a different question to are they cheaper than current clams. Cheap would be like £6, cheaper could be £17.99, but that wouldn't be 'cheap'.

Meh, I'm fine with it, as its only a character model I'd have to buy once, not too far off the Avatar of War dwarf characters I bought.

I think prices for clampacks are a bit up and down. Dark Eldar were pretty "cheap" too, comparable to these actually. Plastic Commissar for IG was even cheaper. 40K Orks and Fantasy's Gutrot in the middle. Space Marines usually take the top spot for price though.
