Default Skaven - Rat and Bat help

I want to make some Skaven conversions, and I am also thinking of making a diorama.

There are the rats with the ‘Skaven Rat Ogres and Giant Rats’, but they are part of the overall sprue. There also some on the Skaven Plague Monks sprue. Buying the kits just for the little rats would be expensive, and I do not have the spare money to ‘splash out’ like that :-( The Skaven Rat Swarms are great, and I have a few, I just want a few more rats to place in quirky places.

I also want some bats, for similar reasons as the little rats.

Lastly, I really want some Skaven and normal rat skulls.

So I have carried out various searches on rat and bat models to add a bit more diversity.

I have checked Hasslefree, Heresey and Privateer Press.
Reaper Miniatures has several figures I could use.

Does anyone know of another miniature company that has roughly what I am after or even someone that makes their own?

GW do a set of bats for their Vampire Counts armies. Rats and stuff I had a quick look and I can't find anything, sorry.

you could always ask someone here to make the skulls, since they are fairly small they shouldn't become that expensive. ^^

In the collectors section of the GW online store (at least the US version), you can still get the Giant Rats blister for $9.



There is also a swarm blister.



Reaper has some rats too. Cheaper than GW.







Reaper also has a number of Bats.

No luck on the skullz though.

Default Skaven skulls

The old (since new ones are coming out this Sat.) Skaven clan rats sprues come with a couple of skaven skulls, it'll be out of scale with the regular rats if you're using them for that purpose. Try "Bitz" stores like The War Store or Apocabitznow.com for the skaven skull heads.

Cheers for the info

Hmm, I think you are right, getting a load custom of skulls made might be the only answer, I'll check in to it.
