  |  Ornswurl's fursts!!! Ok Guys here we go!! Im making a ALL RATLING army. They "count as" IG and will have all equipment avail to IG in the codex but will have only halfling/ratling models. I am converting all tanks and chimeras to be shorter and more "Ratling like". This is a funny army so I have things like cook models for "Seasoned Vets" and my line breaker squad will have "carried spaced" armor sheilds and the such. Now here is where I suck! Im making my army list and I am lost....Erus has helped out and I like his ideas so far but Im letting others have input too. Here is what Im wanting. 1) a solid army that can fight marines chaos and whatever 2) IMPORTANT!! Keep with the nature of Ratlings 3) as humorous as possible! Now here is a blurb from WIKI on ratlings: Ratlings (Homosapiens minimus) are small, loud, hungry and lecherous creatures (W40K Rogue Trader) who serve as snipers in the Imperial Guard, a role in which they excel. Ratlings also serve as cooks, a skill they no doubt learned in order to feed their own stomachs, and also tend towards kleptomania, as Commissars report petty theft and illegal gambling rings increase substantially when ratlings are attached to a platoon or regiment. One named Ratling world is Ornsworld, which was attacked by Abaddon the Despoiler during the Gothic War. They are a sub-branch on the human race, like the Ogryns. Due to their size they often bear the brunt of soldiers' jokes, although more than one soldier has been saved by the Ratlings' superior marksmanship. Essentially, Ratlings are the 40K equivalent of halflings / hobbits. Now I have the followind doctrines for them: Chem inhalers- to overcome the "run and hide effect" so they will actually fight. Ratling Squads-DUH Ogryn squads- for some punch Sharpshooters- They are ratlings Light infantry- upgrade to the sniper per platoon these are what Erus and I came up with and I think "personify" a Ratling army. now If you have some more input for units or doctrines feel free to post. also if you think of a funny modeling idea please post it. Im trying to find a spot for a piggyback/chicken fight ratling! ( thinking ogryn Bonehead!!!)

 maybe have a few with swag bags as ratlings are notoriously light fingered. maybe model a vehicle with a bunch of ratlings playing dice in the back?

Lol. The ultimate usage of the space in an open topped Basilisk! They need something to do until they get blown to hell by those deep striking Bad Arse enemy elites Rag tag weapons...Randomness Instead of Ratling squads as a doctrine try putting.........Harden fighters? (Ratlings get higher WS...because they want it?) Conscript Platoons? (RATLING SWARM!) Sanctioned Psykers? (Oh my god...that'd be hilarious)

| Re: Ornswurl's fursts!!! I think it would be especially funny to have the officers as normal guys so it would look like they are trying to keep together/herd around an army of little kids... but anyway you decide to do it I think it'll be a funny little project to watch... no pun intended there btw...

I have some but not enough to do all i wanted which is why I offered the odd one to you. I have plenty of wedges though!!! Thanks again for looking out! PS I bid on those ratlings on ebay!!! And I should win!!! *grumbles about such a high max bid*

| Re: Ornswurl's fursts!!! OK well here is a linky to the fluff for the Army. sausage linky No true modeling has been done for the army yet but I have purchased ALL 10 poses (yes 10) of ratlings and 3 hot pot halflings. I am now in the midst of converting a master russ and chimera for a basis for the armor (make it short both ways!!) I also have a idea for the hellhound and mortar teams and will start on them within the month. Stay tuned!!!

Blog Entries: 1 | Re: Ornswurl's fursts!!! Don't know much of anything about guard but looks good so far. Instead of actually having Rattling squads (The elite choice) I think you should use conscript platoons because...Rattlings....should....come in numbers? And well...Actual Ratling squads aren't necessary in this list!
