GIANT RATS FOR SKAVEN TEAMS

i was just thinking about possible rules for using giant rats for blood bowl . the idea came to me whilst i was painting the new giant rats for warhammer especially the centar one . i do not know if this is a good idea but i was thinking we could use the rules for goblins or halflings just up the movement value. any suggestions . i personally think it would suit the skaven teams

They already have giant rats. They are called Rat Ogres.

Actually, Skaven are giant rats themselves, aren't they?

If you've seen Princess Bride, not really.

I've seen it, but I do not recall any rats involved.

Just the greasy duellist...

Ah, the ROUS. I remember someone having a Skaven team called the ROUS.

I really don't get the point of giant rats on a Skaven team. All the do is scurry about, you may as well have snakes on a lizardman team.

Use them as score/reroll/turn markers or cheerleaders, they'll look great.

Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't believe they exist.

Followed by female shreiking ... "Wesley ... oh Wesley".

==========================================

Used to joke that to attend Gen Con and get 1/2 the inside jokes you needed to have watched:

The Princess Bride
Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail
Star Wars (the original trilogy only)
Star Trek IV and VI

That would cover a basic understanding so you don't keep saying ... I didn't get that!

Lines heard during gaming at GenCon:

Player: My character continues to fight
GM: But he cut off your arm
Player: Oh that, its just a flesh wound!

cue swordfight:
Villian: I think you are about to die!
Player: Ah but I have a surprise for you!
Villian: And what would that be!
Player: I'm not left handed!

Player: My name is [insert name here], you killed my father prepare to die!

cue live action impromptu fantasy game
GM: The alien ship decends from the sky and blows up the Nuclear Vessel that you were on ... you are dead
Player [who has been doing russian accent from the start of game including calling the sub he was invesigating a Wessel]: Pardon me what did you say was destroyed.
GM: The Nuclear Vessel was destroyed.
Player: Ah good because I was on the Nuclear Wessel!
GM: [realizes he's been verbally outsmarted (which is how you win at this game)] You're right you were on the Wessel, so you are safe.

[insert name here], I am your father.

Oh please, just a little peril.

Like I said required viewing.
