[Archive] Dwarf Deathroller from Forgeworld

Admiral:

Deathroller:



Outside the pitch it is undoubtedly useful for Chaos Dwarf conversion. Must-have for Squats.

This Deathroller share some of the weird or boring plate design with the new Bloodbowl Dwarfs, in my eyes, but it also sports lots of good or fun parts. Much more hit than miss, and always good to see Goblins mowed down!

For comparison, here is the recent Deathroller contemporary with WHFB 6th edition (which both I and my brother missed to buy before it went OOP, grumble grumble), the 3rd ed miniature and the original model from WHFB 2nd edition:







To me, the various Deathrollers through the ages tell a lot of Games Workshop’s style changes and sculpting advances. There are cycles in creative endeavours, and some aesthetic cycle phases might indeed be golden. I’d happily field all Deathroller generations alongside each other. They all have their charms and strengths, and weaknesses. GW in a nutshell.

Abecedar:

I have the original one.

I like the machine but not the insipid creature riding it

Bassman:

I like the machine. With a little modifications it would look ace. I do not like the rider. Really I do not like the style of new GW dwarfs…

cornixt:

I wish I got the second one, just a fun model. The new one is immense, good bye to the extra space on the new pitch!

Helblindi:

I like it. Gigantic or not, still the best looking of all three generations imo.

Admiral:

There’s a neat touch of Rolls Royce tractor to the new one. :slight_smile:

Abecedar:

I do love the old fashioned push powered lawn mower blades though
