Alan the evil:
beacuse of the high cost of whirlwind models I’m looking for something else in GW miniatures that could rapresent it.
What do you suggest??
Bolg:
I’ve seen 2 people here already used the new plastic skaven doom wheel, just remove the skaven bits and a lot of the extra’s and stick a chaos Icon on the side, hobgoblin or DC in side and your done (:
And personally I thought of using a bloodbowl death roller…
maelzch:
Here’s my one, basically as Bolg described
Snotling:
hehe, the Doomwheel conversions are so cool. Maybe you can also use a Steam Tank as a conversion base.
clam:
And I thought he was asking for a cheaper alternative - lol
Both models cost the same/or even more than a used Whirlwind at eBay. You should be able to pick it up at something like £18-20. Problem is finding an auction for them - and not being forced to buy at one of those ‘buy it now at a ridiculous I came up with’ - price.
phierlihy:
Maelzch, I’ve noticed your Demoneater before and the metal is a really excellent colour. Not to derail the thread but could you post its recipe?
Border Reiver:
Alan - I think the Deathroller from the bloodbowl range would be your best bet - add a couple of skulls and a new head for the driver, maybe some GS’d lamellar armour and your gold.
Snotling:
Hm, to be honest, I still don’t know what a Daemon Eater is. Is this a new unit from a fan list? But it seems to be pretty accepted by everone, because there are a lot of people who build one, even when they are not in the Ravening Hordes…

Here is the link: Indy GT list
Just read it! :cheers
:hashut
PS: Why must your Daemoneater be GW Miniature?
cornixt:
How about doing a Chaos Chariot but backwards?
Alan the evil:
wow… so many replays!! thanks to everybody
@ zanko
well, I’d like to find GW miniatures because IF someday CD will be official I’m gonna have something already allowed even in official tournaments…
@ everybody who talked about doomwheel/deathroller:
I think that deathroller is the thing closer to my idea… chep and deathly dwarfed!! thanks for help
@cornixt
now i’m using chaos chariots… but they are not miniature I own and they are not so cheap if I must to convert them with deamonsmith model (yes, because I want to use them like daemonsmith’s mounts…)
@snotling
daemoneaters are the best mount you can give to a daemonsmith in the indy GT army book that zanko linked for you…
if you can try them togheter and you will be amazed of their power!!
Snotling:
Hey cool, thanks for the link, I was searching for that army book 'cause right now I don’t know much about the “new” CDs…
Spikes:
I used some “bits stores” online/ebay. I got some 40k chaos space marine, orc and imperial vehicle panels, bits and tracks. Kitbashing those together yielded a pair of nice looking daemoneaters in my honest opinion.
Lordfishbane:
Nice start, cant wait to see how she turns out.
Zanko:
I’m not sure about this Daemoneater model - looks very much like a “normal” 40K model! :~
I’m missing the typical fantasy and Chaos Dwarf touch - perhaps fully converted and painted it will comply these demands!?!? 
:hashut
Spikes:
I lightly drybrushed them. One is really hard to properly take a picture of while the other is more in regular drybrush tones.
Pics coming up before the end of April (yes it takes that long!)
Revlid:
What that model needs is some steampunky primitive touches, to keep it from looking too high-tech and 40k. Barrels or pipes or smokestacks.
Otherwise, really cool!
Spikes:
The painted pictures of “The crusher” and “The shredder”. Notice the trails of blood on the shredder and the mangled beastman under the crusher.
No pipes or chimneys as I have yet to find the proper bit. 1,50$ curved PVC piping joint could do the trick…
Lordfishbane:
Looking good man !!

Da Crusha:
these look a bit like evil steam tanks without the armour save on their profile. a bit too much metal IMO
