[Archive] Mounted Dwarf Idea?

Loidrial:

I always liked to create mounts for armys who dont have one.

Long time ago i made some skaven with the goblin wolfrider legs and the clan rats body riding LotR wargs.

So now I was thinking for the last few days “what could be a mount for the chaos dwarves”?

Mantic made normal dwarves on Badgers, bulls would be a normal tought even if a bull imho will be too large and tall.

The more I try to figure something out, the more it sounds like they should have some sort of steampunk small ride. But like what?

(This might be even a nice idea for a contest)

I’d like to hear your ideas ^^

Cheers!

Possibly mini-Iron Daemons as mine carts?

If you dig through the background section here, I believe somewhere a couple of us speculated on oxen/bull drawn chariots for ceremonial purposes.

Overall though, I believe WH dwarfs are characterised as disliking riding and prefer having their feet on firm ground, so I think they’d prefer to ride on platforms rather than on saddles. As such they’d go for chariots, howdahs, Iron Daemons, carriages, etc. especially ones which are armoured and fortified that are essentially mobile forts

Juggernauts is what springs to my mind. That thought has been expressed a few times in threads so I won’t pretend to own it.

Well there is a theory (don't recall offhand if it's canon or just fanon) that juggernaughts were originally built by the Dawi-Zharr.

Abecedar:

How about an old Reaper Dwarf Bear rider


Or a Grenadier Dwarf Bear rider


There is a olde Grenadier or Reaper Goat/Ram Rider but I dont have a pic handy
And Reaper do some Ram riders

The Deathroller. Never forget the Deathroller.

I forgot about this, my bad! Unfortunatly it is something just for 1 model.
About that other company selling those alternative dwarves, meh. i Knew them but i just removed from my memory because i really dislike them.

The problem with CDs is that they like underground/vulcanos alike places so you cant really find something to ride on.
Might work with some sort of dino. But the steampunkish Mount would still be the best fit.

Zuh-Khinie:

In my recollection, there are at least three different types of deathrollers.

With a change of rider, you could easily make a small unit out of them.

But i think that is about it

Dînadan:

I think Zuh-Khinie was talking about GW - they made a couple of them over the years, but all are now long OoP.

Zuh-Khinie:

Yup, I was talking about those GW made.

They tend to pop up on ebay once every so often, though I don’t know their worth these days.

Zanthrax:

I have always like the west wind can esp the goats and the pigs.

With some cutting and a bit of green stuff I reckon those pigs could be converted into mini Bulls. Would also need some armour and mechanical upgrades but would be worth thinking about.

Zanko:

What about these creations?!?!

For whoever made them (You zanko?) the airship is the only one i really like, I thought some time ago to buy and convert a gyrocopter but in the end i didnt buy it
