It’ll Take More Than Cheese in a Trap to Deal with Greebo’s Rats
July 8, 2014 by dracs
The rats are continuing to swarm around Greebo as two new previews appear, including the announcement that their ratman assassin Skitex is ready.
Skitex is a great assassin sculpt, crouched low and menacing in a pose that shows a great level of style and character, and is also rather unique for an assassin mini.
However, Skitex isn't on his own. He is joined by a small, more regular rat carrying a knife and standing on a Greebo insignia shield. My guess is he'd be a little harder for the exterminator to deal with.
My guess is that this smaller rat is for use as a game marker or similar such uses, especially given the Greebo logo underneath it.
Still, it's good to see Greebo continuing to bring out such unique and well realised miniature designs. The ninja ratmen have got to be some of their best so far and I am looking forward to seeing them displayed as a fully painted team.
What do you think of Greebo's rodent releases?

these are looking rather nice 🙂
… not sure if I’ve seen this company before,
might have to check out their range 🙂
It’s easy to make a bad ass mini of an Orc, or a Werewolf, or a sexy dark elf look. However, these sculptors have some serious skills to make rats look this cool. I kinda like the little guy more than the ninja, the fur detail is perfect and the covetous way he’s holding the dagger give a very rat vibe.
I hope they make more of these, and maybe some mice too. Those Meridian figures were cool, but a little too cartoony IMHO. Figures like this, though, would be great for a game set in Redwall or MouseGuard.
They are so cute! Makes me remember my two pet rats from a few years back…may my two little furry friends rest in peace under the thuja tree.
