For those inclined to build/paint miniatures, lots of Games Workshop's stuff is appropriate. Unfortunately, it's usually sold in boxes of 10+ miniatures. Fortunately if you put the name of the thing you want in ebay with the words "single figure" after it you'll find ebay sellers that sell individual miniatures for cheap with cheap shipping, even internationally. Rat men are particularly appropriate for Gamma World, so here's an ebay search for "skaven single figure": shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A12...most ebay sellers that sell individual miniatures like this have shipping charges on the first item and then additional items are free or really low extra charges.

Interestingly, the GW art contains multiple rat men, but I didn't see a corresponding origin or monster in the rules. Anyone else notice that?

Well, they can't cover everything in the first book/game. Maybe one of the expansions will have rat men as either origins or monsters. And reskinning things is super easy.

If I grabbed a 1/48 scale model of a 2010 Ford F-150, that truck is ~20' long to the 1/48 scale, but ~25' long to the 1/60 scale. Much too long for the game, imo. The Ford F-100 is only 12' long at the 1/48 scale, and comes out to be just a hair over 15' at the 1/60 scale, which works very nicely.
Also, here's a few modern trucks made for wargaming in our scale.

Those look pretty cool. Do they scale well with the various D&D, SW, HC minis?

I've previously seen the Battlefield Evolution minis in my FLGS... the scale looked the same and the trucks seemed perfect, but the 1/65 vehicle scale might be a tad small for PC use. I'll give an update when my order arrives.

1/65 is certainly good for the 1" = 5' scale of the maps.
The wiki mentions that there is some scale creep though, depending on when the vehicles were released and which company made them. The 1/50 and 1/48 scale vehicles would fit nicely with the figures, and be slightly too big for the map scale. 1/43 would be a little bit too big for both.
