    I started a Kharadron Overlords army, but... I have all these skaven parts lying around... also I was a fan of the Redwall books when I was younger, and I thought to myself, hey, do Skaven heads fit on duardin bodies??? ... well, yes, but they don't look like rats when you do that. They look like... BADGERS!!! So this is now the Badger Brigade! EULALIA!!!

    Hah, to me they still look like rather podgy, thickset Skaven, but the idea is still a great one. Steampunk Potatoes! Up the Badger Brigade!

    Did you know though that there is an actual way to convert badger warriors? Sally 4th make Badger Critter Conversion Kits containing heads and tails to badger-ify a model for a Redwall-esque miniatures game they have rules for called Albedo:
    https://wargamesbuildings.co.uk/product/critter-conversion-kit-badger-bareheaded/

    They're part of a range of heads and tails for other animals including otters, mice, rats and hares, that work very nicely for Redwall-themed conversions.

    I like the idea, but notice that they are out of stock. In fact, it looks like a LOT of their conversion bits are out of stock...

    I have noticed that too, but it's always worth dropping them an email on the contact address on their site and raising awareness of your interest ;)
