One idea was to equip a bunch of Skaven with guns... I mean, why wouldn't there be giant rat men leaving in the bowels of a giant industrial complex. It makes perfect sense right? Anyways, I equipped most of them with Ork bolters but two of them were given shotguns from the plastic Goliaths that came with the Necromunda game. I'm not sure whatever became of the others but the two shotgun rats are still around

There was some house rules for "Vermen" on the net many years ago, I bet I printed them up and still have them somewhere. I also converted a half dozen or so Skaven.If you wanna see them I will put some pics up.

They where converted 90s figures, the ones cast in one peice and came in two poses. Later I added some Shockforce Vermen which gave the warband a post apoc feel.

I just ordered a handful of the Oldhammer Skaven (as well as a few newer ones) and some plastic Necromunda Goliaths. My Necromunda Skaven gang will live again!!!!! I remembered what I did with the previous gang. I un-converted them, returning them as close to their original form as possible, and gave them to my god-son to go along with the mass of HeroQuest figures I gave him. Ah well... it was a worthy cause. [Addendum] As irony would have it, I gave those figures to my god-son for his 14th birthday.... and he turns 20 today. Gawd I feel old.

Should be easy enough undo. And two of the slaves have had their slings removed so the hands could hold pistols. Also, the Jezzail Gun does not have a stand/prop. Anyways, if you want them, they're yours. Just PM me where to send them.
