| | I've got three of these suckers and can't decide to part with them or keep them. What uses or rolls do they fit/give a warband? Comments? | |

| | I could see making use of them in a 50 point or 100 point game, where his DR can be a major factor, but I don't think you're going to want to put them in a 200 point game. They just can't do enough against big opponents. | |

| They are clearly better (and cheaper) than the old wererat.
But a big part of their value is DR:5 to block ranged attacks - "High Mr.Greycloack, just shoot that bow at the wererat & it won't hurt at all..."
But WotDQ has a whole new set of ranged attackers {storm archer, Clawfoot, Fire Belcher} mostly doing 10 to 15 damage. So DR:5 is not the perfect defense it used to be; (Actually with magic weapon spells it never was a perfect defense, but atleast it sometimes worked.)
WotC have a habit of producing units which would have been great in the previous expansion. But are virtually useless against the the expansion they are in {e.g. Gith-Monk V's Helmed Horror} The wererat rougue looks like another one of these. | | | |

Like the fire summoner/small fire elementals/magma hurler? That combo would have been awesome against Chraal warbands... but not against much else. | |

| My "danger rats" band. (I know it is not that good, snd can't deal with constructs. It is more of a fun band)
wererat x5 45 points
underboss 28 points
LGD 52 points
Aspect Hextor 75 points
Ideally the rats can sneak attack at +13 for 15 dam. | |
