Space Midget size comparison

Hello Everyone,

During the last couple of games that I've played I fielded a squad of 5-6 ratling snipers and it's been a fun little unit to play with. Although they aren't super useful, they have caused me to warm up to the idea of including some more inhumans. So I was thinking about getting some more. However the ones I have are all old metal models, and I was wondering how big (or small) the size difference between the two types is. The new models seem quite a bit bulkier when you look at the bases, but that's always a bit tricky due to angles and perspective.

If anyone has a side-by-side picture that would be great, or a picture of either type of ratling next to the two ratlings from 'Blackstone Fortress'.

That way I can figure out if I should order a squad of 'new' ratlings from GW or see if I can find some of the older ones on ebay for a decent price.

Thanks in advance,

I'm very intrested to see the outcome of this too, they do look bulkier in the GW set but the Blackstone Fortress pictures (Of the twins) makes them look small like the original set.

Yeah I'm not sure how the twins are in terms of scale, but unlike the regular ratlings I think my FLGS has them on display.

I asked the same question on reddit and someone had a link to this blog: link which as a rare picture of both types of ratling together.

Nice, thanks for sharing.

So what are you going to do now?

I was thinking of buying the latest GW Ratlings and ebay the Twins, as I see peoplw are buying the Blackstone Fortress just for the models.

Well I think I'll keep an eye on Ebay to see if I can find 4 more of the old models to fill out my squad. But most of the lots I've seen so far will cost $8-$20 to ship to my adres, and that's a bit to steep for my taste.

I also have a bit of money set aside to get a pair of hellhounds at the end of the month, so I might get a squad of the new ratlings when I order those.
