Ratling Snipers

Ratling are one of the many stable strains of mutants found in the solar system.  While considered subhuman by many, they can often find work as engineers for the Corporations, mostly Capitol, Bauhaus, and Imperial. Though unsuited for many battlefield roles, Ratlings make excellent snipers, a position that more often than not doesn't involve actual combat. While they are often the butt of soldier's jokes, more than one unit has had cause to be grateful for the covering fire of a unit of Ratling Snipers.
Capitol, Bauhaus, Cartel, and Imperial armies may take Ratling snipers as an Elites choice. Mishima and Brotherhood armies may take them as a Support choice.

I always wondered why Capitol LI DIDN'T have a sniper.  And the Freedom Brigade proxies I use have a guy with a rocket launcher, so I figured that fit too.

Ratling Snipers


Do you have to include halflings into the Warzone Universe!!???

Dude, that's so cool!!  If we can include a whole army list of these pugnacious fighters, that would rock!

Okay, for starters...

Ratling Guerilla Warrior
Elite unit trooper, Required 8-12 per Squad, Mortal
CC 9 RC 9 PW 4 LD 9 AC 3 WD 1 ST 3 MV 4 AR 16 SZ 1 PC 20
Special Abilities: infiltrate, swarm, camo 2

CC +1 PB -1 SR 0 MR -1 LR -3 ER 0 DAM 9(x2)

CC 0 PB -- SR -- MR -- LR -- ER -- DAM Str +2

Ratling Guerilla Warrior Sgt.
Grunt unit trooper, Required 1-4 per Squad, Mortal
CC 10 RC 10 PW 4 LD 11 AC 3 WD 1 ST 3 MV 4 AR 16 SZ 1 PC 25
Special Abilities: infiltrate, swarm, camo 2, furious charge (Think a pint-size Rambo with psychological issues.)

Weapon: Ratling  SMG Rifle (Ballistic)

Weapon: Ratling Machete (Slashing)

Not quite sure about the specialist.

Either a flamethrower or a...sniper.

I like how they get swarm. :)

"Get the little bastards off of me!!"


Edit:  I came up with new stats for the Ratling SMG, what do you think?

Weapon: Bilbo SMG (Ballistic)
CC -2 PB 2(x2) SR 0 (x2) MR -3 LR 0 ER 0 DAM 8
This'll bring it more in line with other SMGs, range wise.  Also, I figure it shoots really small bullets, hense the lower damage.

You guys are crazy... but I like it!!

  Somewhere out there, I believe someone has UWZ stats for the Grymn (Hasslefree's halflings).  That could be somehting to consider...

btw- I like the idea of the LI sniper.  Nice!

With an apology to Dr Zaius -

I knew. I have always known. From the time of the birth of The Children of Ilian I have known this day would come - and dreaded it. Allow me to quote from the Sacred Scolls.

Beware the beast Ratling. Of all GW's creatures he alone ruins games for lust, or sport, or greed. Shun him, for he will make a desert of his game and ours.

 ;D

Ratlings are not cool... imho...

they are just a gw rip of lotr put in 40k setting.

I (again imho) think thats crap... and not at all part of the wz flavour... but then again, I would also not like spaceorcs there..

Sometimes it isnt about fluff but wanting to instead just use the minis in our collection with the kick ass game system.

The warzone game engine is very good and many fans just want to apply it to other settings (in this case ratlings).
some people just want to give a fluffy reason why their armies face each other.

....on that note
Thom if your reading this, a generic rulebook with ablitiy to make your own army WOULD RULE!!!

Pretty much.  I have a few Ratlings sitting around and was thinking. "You know what, Warzone needs psychotic midgets." Don't think of them as space-hobbits, htink of them for what they are, Mutants. (Which is something The Mutant Chronicles never really went into.... ya know... mutants. :))

I can imagine the voice of Demnogonis having a field day with them.


"You know, Illian never loved you."

"Oh, by the Apostles, you're right!!!"
