Hey Guys

as i expolred my new miners box, i noticed, that the drill would make a nice little harpoon, when you build it like that


it doesn't look perfect, but it is a base for a nice BT. you can build it very quick and it's cheap... if you have miners ^^. now you can add some CD-symbols, chaos-stuff, other bolts etc... i enlarged the arrow.

i work with it by the while during i make my other projects, but some day, i will have 2 new BTs ^^

That's very clever, well done.

I've used this same idea to make a 'gatling blunderbuss' for my unit.  I took off that leg on the front, chopped down the legs a little and took the spy glass off the top.

Pics will follow once I've built the other 3 CD on the base (40mm).

Holy Crap that is Great!! If CD were ever to have a bolt thrower that wasnt made by hobgobs then that would be awesome!!

That looks like some ancient kind of Sniper. Thats a great idea. Mechanical bolt thrower.

yes and no. i had much to do the last few weeks and painted some other stuff. i even make several prjects at the same time, convert a troll, sculpt a unit of... slaves, make some chars and something else... with wings ^^

well... GS is running out, that's another problem

OF COURSE FOR CHAOSDWARFS!

praise Hasuhut

hehe, i'm glad you like it. it is a sadisfaction to inspire you and i want nothing for it except... all your SLAVES! MUAHAHAHAA

and you have never too much BT's ^^

Great stuff Snotling.
Is the miner set worth it on the whole?

the miner set is great, dwarfs with bare arms and two-handed weapons and masses of cool bitz... dynamite, steam hammers and... stuff... it's cool ^^

I suggested something similar over on the Cut-throats den - making a harpoon gun using the sight on legs from the dwarf cannon box.

With the miners harpoon gun, I have been thinking of cutting off the harpoon and attaching the rotating barrels from an Empire repeating rifle to make a gatling gun - a bit of a blunderbuss unit filler.

The same could be done to the steam drill to make a man (dwarf?) portable gatling gun.

Awesome Idea snotling!  Is that drill from the New Dwarf Miners box? How many do they give you in there?

no, one per sprue of 5 dwarfs. means 2 in the small and 4 in the large box.

Snotling, your army is fn awesome.  I am basing alot of my army off your stuff (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery).  I took your advice and went out and bought a miner's regiment box set. I made 3 this afternoon.  Here are the new Bt's.  3 with crew.  I still have to mount the crew on their rock lava bases.
Here she is in all her glory.

The whole crew on the field.

That's it! that's how they should look like. i'm proud to gave the inspirations to these nice BTs

Those look fantastic, especially when they're side by side.

They certainly look a lot more nasty than the regular BTs

Brilliant.

Nice, and if you get 2 in the small box thats 2 BT for 35 Aus bucks! and all the other steam punk related items you get! Really like your crew to death aka Joe, very simple idea but makes look alot more wacky.

And you could use the pny for BC conversions, although I haven't seen any completed ones yet
