Need help finding appropriate skaven models for underworld

[lunchmoney]

I'm stealing an idea from Slaver and his Voodoo Orcs (which are looking lovely).

Having recently acquired the Willy Troll with the top hat at a tourney (which I've had my eye on for ages) I am now prompted to put together an Underworld team.

With the big buy sporting such a great hat it was suggested he could be painted like the Baron Samedi, so why not theme a team around that? Dress the players up like Mardi Gras and the Baron's minions?

I've found some goblins which I think could work (Gazpez's Circus Goblins) but I'm having issues finding suitable looking rats.

Anyone got any suggestions?

I would use Skaven plastic, but replace the heads with these instead...

not altogether sure the Gaspez circus goes with a Voodoo lord of death Troll though, but perhaps a matching paint job would convince me otherwise...

I pictured them dancing around in the Mardi Gras. But I'm always open to other suggestions? I've not bought anything yet.

I would use Skaven plastic,

By "Skaven plastic", do you mean GW WHFB skaven?

I'll give them a look when I get home, cheers.

If you want a team by the same sculptor, Meiko Miniatures seems to have commissioned a new rat team from Ramos (2-5 posts down the page).

But it depends on how soon you need them.

Do like I did. Use gw crypt ghouls with skaven heads & a little gs work.

How about the Black Scorpion Skaven? Paint the robes in voodoo-ish colours, like rich purples, and they could work.

actually the BS ratmen might work rather well...

and yes, in my last post I was meaning WHFB plastics.. I have used many different sets of plastic skaven over the years, night runners, plague monks, storm vermin, clan rats, they all worked nicely and much like the orc/ork range you can swap pieces around for more flexibility..

Al, if you like the Black Scorpion ones give me a shout - I have some to sell/trade (I got some to make a underworld team to).

I like them, they could work as the Baron's darker minions. But only 1 thrower model and no blitzers..... I could make some of them work. What have you got going?

Simon, after you have negotiated with Al give me a shout I may be in the market for a few Skaven.

Will do.
