Nobody be sarcastic and just say "6" now. :p
I had my minis painted, and right now have 3 Rats and 3 Elite Rats. I'm thinking of buying a second set to have the rest painted the same way. But is there a scenario (given the Encounter cards and Surges) where 6 Rats or 6 Elite Rats would ever be on the board?
I'm hoping not, because I want to have one rat painted as Captain V.

You get into weird situations in the one chapter that uses a Double Encounter card, plus the Chapter(s) where the party splits up.
IIRC, the most Elite Rats I ever saw at once was 3, and the most Rats I saw at once was 6, but potentially there could be more of either in those weird corner cases.
I'd suggest doing the breakdown as 3 Elites / 8 Normal / 1 Vurst. It might not be truly optimal, but you're more likely to get swarmed by extra Rats than by extra Elites.
