[Insert witty Skaven-themed Team Fortress 2 references here]
I while back I wanted to do something unique for a custom ratling gun team conversion using parts left over from other projects (particularly some stormfiends), and after a bit of browsing for ideas I hit upon this image. The idea of building up a "Heavy weapons rat" as a one-rat ratling gun team was too good to up.
The challenging bit was figuring out what I should use as a base for this conversion. Stormvermin were too small, while rat ogres were too big (and pretty fugly in their Mordheim-era kit), and I wanted something in between.
Cue the kitbash-loving faction having just the kit I needed to start with: Ork Flash Gitz.
The torso, arms and weapon receiver are from the Flash Gitz kit, the head from a stormvermin kit, lower legs and tail from a Rat Ogre kit, and the ratling gun barrels lett over from a Stormfiend kit (the rail and muzzle are from a spare assault cannon).
I've been having a blast with this particular conversion so far. Not only do I end up with a model to represent a ratling gun team, but also a "stig-shambler" for my Skaven-themed "Cawdor" gang (the ratling gun counting as a twin-linked heavy stubber).

I was also doing my best to ensure that this model was able to make use of a 40mm base, though it's quite feasible for your conversions that you might consider making weapons "teams" on the normal 60mm (the "lasgun" can be a laser sight LOL), or using normal Ork Nobs for "rat ogryn" conversions.
