Many thanks for there other links as well. Having them makes all the difference as the SOL link is no where near scale. I mean you have nothing to really judge it from. Here I was worried I had made it to long, when in fact its a lot bigger.
The front is going to be the most interesting part and I think its going to have to be all Green stuff for the skull from/
Pyro- Now you know why I featured your rules in the WoH in issue #2!
No, it is alot smaller than you would think (and what I thought too), but if you look again at the stuff of legends pics you can see the scale with the miniatures on that then wonder why you ever thought it was that big :) the one I posted has no side turrets which makes a marginal difference. Things were alot smaller back in the 3rd Edition though, I have a chaos champion on war griffon from marauder which is also on a smaller scale than the GW ones produced now.
I was thinking of making one from scratch myself because I couldn't get the image of 4 Kees Headblasts on each level with their blunderbusses looking mean and ready to blow something up :D

all the mauruader range is small (save the dwarfs, they compar because mauruader dwarves stod juts a few MM shorter than men) becuase the old mauruader range was 22mm, rather than the current 28mm
There are rules that Pyro has put together, check issue #2 of the Word of Hashut for download. The original model came out in the 3rd edition days of Warhammer, and there weren’t any rules for it then.
On eBay this is something of a treasure, not that many were produced by GW and those that were seem limited to the UK and Europe. They are a rare find comparatively speaking and since the market for any Chaos Dwarf figure is high it has gone up selling for $400-700 dollars last time. Now that I know the true scale I’m glad I didn’t buy one.
Lastly to answer your question this will have actual game uses, as to what… I’m not saying yet.
Nice work Willmark - I also want to have a go on this, so I’ll be following this closely
On criticism though - I think those wheels will look way to small - when it’s finished (you will make it a turret platform - right?). Really think you should try to find some bigger ones

I think the reason the wheels look too small is because the jugger is quite wide. Maybe a third pair of wheels would fix the problem. Maybe use a large pair of wheels in between the two smaller pairs.
I got a bit more done tonight. i now have the rough forms for the front blades. I will be green stuffing over parts of them most likely if not the whole thing. I have also started the rough shapes of the front and left side wall. I also added a arch support for the second level.
Also of note is that I have chopped one of the cannon barrels and extended it. I was planning on doing this all along but figures I should do so before someone suggests it.
