Thanks to encouragement on the forums and project I fired through the Linerats last night and got them all finished. (To ‘tabletop standard’ at least!)

I mixed up some of the highlighting colours on the skin to provide a bit of variety. Some of them were a bit light and the contrast was too much cause I was too lazy to build up the layers – so to tone it down a bit I just gave them another flesh wash to blend it a little better. A couple I also gave Vallejo Cold Grey fur with a Dark Tone wash and a drybrush.

My test piece I gave a black nose, but looking at photos of rats, they tend to have pink noses. I’ll just say he has a genetic mutation. Some of the models have furry tails and others have more realistic segmented tails. On those I gave them a couple of coats AP red wash to give them a pinkish tail.

I wish I’d picked up a couple of extra line rats from the Kickstarter cause if Nuffle has anything to say about it, a lot of these guys will soon be playing in the great stadium in the sky – and they don’t seem to sell individual Linerats on their website. I might write to them to see if it’s possible to pick up a couple. I can always use the Kicker model as a proxy as they’re not in the modern game anyway.
