Warhammer homage in Adventurer's Vault 2

[Asmor]

Ah, so it's the specific wording on the subject of the dog. Got it.

Correct.

Although I will say that what always endeared me to the rat catcher (and I had no idea until now that it was such a meme) was the fact that, listed in its starting equipment, was a "stick with 1d10 dead rats."

And the Warhammer career is based off a real career that of course no longer exists.

At least not in most of the first world. The rest, however......

So... what is it that makes this a whfrp thing?

Mere mention of a rat catcher wouldn't..but "small but vicious dog" with a rat catcher is a direct rip-off.

Homage or shout out, hardly a rip off.

The various Warhammer monster Captain Ersatzs, those you can call rip offs.

MHB Kruthik, BOVD Kythons= WH 40,000 Tyranids, notably the gaunts
MM3 Blackscale lizardfolk = Warhammer Kroxigor
MM3 Poison dusk lizardfolk = Warhammer Skink
MM3 Ibixan = Warhammer Beastman
MM5 Blackwing = Carrion

Mind you, I think D&D yoinking warhammer critters is a good thing.

Edit: i think the artist from Head injury theater is seeing some tyranid qualities in new Chuul mini.
