Nicely done, Excellent conversion work and paint job - I think darker colour schemes work best for Ratmen all round. I would say that a back banner and/or more ornate equipment would make the rider stand out better as a Warlord though, he looks as he is like a normal Ratman, albeit a mounted one.
I too had similar ideas when I saw Rackhams Goblins mounted on rats, but I never bought them. Other ambitions in this direction included converting Wolf-rats using Citadel plastic Wolves (again mounts for Goblins), Rat-ogre heads and Skaven tails - again this never came to be.
More recently however I discover that a company called Black Cat Bases make these miniatures called 'HumRats' as part of their Post-Apocalypse range
^ Mounted HumRats
Some are more Post-Apocalypse that others, but I think that most, if not all of them could be made to fit a fantasy setting with little to no conversion work. I own the one with the sword and may one day get round to painting it.
