I was just reading through the rulebook FAQ and it says characters mounted on monsters,monstrous beasts etc are immune to killing blow, I thought this was faq'd previously to say if a character is able to be played on foot he can indeed be killing blowed regardless of mount? 1- can anybody confirm it's the current FAQ wording and 2- have I just made the old FAQ part up? Lol
If the solution isn't 'Rat ogres' then I'm afraid there's not really a problem to start with ... :-D

FAQ v 1.8 Page 8

Q: Is a character mounted on a monster, chariot or monstrous beast
susceptible to the Killing Blow special rule? (p72)
A: No, as the character’s troop type as changes to ‘monster’,
‘chariot’ or ‘monstrous cavalry’ respectively, thereby rendering
Killing Blow ineffective. Only Heroic Killing Blow will work
against these targets.

2) No, no you haven't. It was at some point indeed FAQed you could KB the character part of such a mini.

From the previous FAQ (ver. 1.7 Jan 2013) which was replaced in April.

Q: Does Killing Blow work against a mounted character regardless of what he is mounted on? (p72)
A: Yes, as long as the character would count as an infantry model if it wasn’t mounted.


From the current FAQ (ver. 1.8 Apr 2013)

For what's it worth, 1.7 introduced 4-5 changes from 1.6 that were immediately swapped back in 1.8. 1.7 may have been the worst FAQ update EVER!
