[Archive] Alternate Earth Shaker Cannons?

Groznit Goregut:

Hi All,

Am I the only one that thinks the Earthshaker looks a bit stupid? I’m thinking there has got to be some sort of 40k cannon that looks much better than that. I don’t want something too modern, but something more industrial and less…child-toy like would work.

What cool alternatives have people done for the earthshaker? I’ve tried looking in the gallery, but didn’t find anything good.

Swissdictator:

Stay tuned for the Golden Hat VIII as well, I’m sure you’ll see some cool ideas in there as well. Xander linked you to a really nice one too. Good luck either way!

What about this one, an Ork Lobba from Forge World?

Ubertechie:

Nice find tjub

as an aside (also from forgeworld) - this would make a fairly cool deathrocket and / or night goblin doom diver

Kera foehunter:

here a easy one

Groznit Goregut:

Wow! Thanks for all links!

Ishkur Cinderhat’s model is absolutely fantastic! I wish I knew how he modeled it. There are a 101 little things that really make the model (like the little wheel on the back or the spikes in the ground).

That Ork Kannon is also really cool and right off the shelf. It’s not too expensive for a forgeworld item, either. Much thanks!

I am looking forward to the Golden Hat pictures. It’s been something I’ve been thinking about.

Groznit Goregut:

I looked on the 40k site and I did find something that could work, too.



It’s not as awesome or inspiring as some of the other models, but it is better than the original. Also, the goblin crew would be good crew to use for my OnG army. Or maybe convert into hobgobs…

theblackmage:

ah, the lobba, it looks good until you consider those grots come up to a dwarf shulders, so it makes the weapon look rather…unimpresive, to say th least:~

my suggestion for it:

Zanko:

I found this one a few days ago and posted it already in another thread, but why not for a second time???

Kera foehunter:

here another one

Astranagant:

I dunno, I’m thinking about using the cannons from Battleground: Crossbows and Catapults. It’s about as big as the Hellcannon I think…

Tarrakk Blackhand:

I like that one Zanko!

Zanko:

I think this “small” one would also make a nice EarthShakerCannon …

PS: Perhaps should one choose a better colour scheme :D:D:D
