I haven't managed to play a Ratkin yet, but I've played a Bone Gnawer who over time had some Ratkin allies and was able to call on them at least once to get demolition supplies. It ended with a the hive of Gary Indiana (It was a hive in our game) collapsed along with the city above it - killing off a large portion of BSD and a arme of Fomori. I think they were proud of my then Cliath (He ranked up after that).
