That might be stretching it a little, but I myself am thinking of using ratogres as Chaos trolls. The problem is plaguemonks are on smaller bases then beastmen, so I don't think its allowed unless you get bigger bases. |

... no you cant. Chaos hounds are on a cavalry base, while giant rats are on a small infantry base. I don't think anyone would agree on that. |

Is it just me, or is that just amazing? Chaos hounds are not much better than giant rats, yet look at the size difference of them! Its just rediculous.. Make the hounds a bit smaller or the giant rats a bit bigger... As for the initial question, I personally dont think it would work... the armies are just too different im afraid... Entaro Adun |

i've looked though the collecters gide and the classic giant rats are much bigger than the new ones. that solves the hound dilemer

LOL, welcome to the world of making things looking bigger in a photograph... Trust me, the difference between the current and old giant rats isn't that big. Greetz |

That could be indeed a very good idea. With the amount of monsters from the Hell Pit list, it might serve you very well as a decent source of inspiration. What kind of army-list would you indeed be looking at? I think that would be a very decent one to start with. From there, you know WHAT you actually wish to create. Greetz |

Quiet, I'm plotting.

What about a whole bunch of giant rats on a cavalry base to represent hounds? Kind of a swarm arrangment, but... not. |

Its a good idea, I think it would work. As long as your opponent knows it. Unique modelling really sets armies out. |
