[Archive] Question: Siege Cannon

Zanko:

I mentioned in the “The Specialist Games Gallery” the threat “The Chaos Dwarf Juggernaut and Chaos Siege Cannon Gallery” … and now I questioned me if there was once a GW Siege Cannon which I never saw???

Or should the threat be an invitation to make a conversion?

In the Wiki I didn’t found an appropriate hint or link!

Pyro Stick:

Are you talking about this model?:



Its in the wiki under Other Chaos Dwarf Models: http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/wiki/index.php?title=Early_Chaos_Dwarfs#Other_Chaos_Dwarf_Models

Zanko:

I think of no specific model, I just saw the threat.

This model is well known be me! It’s the “Daemonic ASS Cannon” - awesome mini - but this is no real Siege Cannon in my view.

No, no my question is which Siege Cannon should be posted in the mentioned threat … a specific original cannon or any conversion that fits in this topic?

The siege cannon refers to the ass cannon. So you are supposed to post pics of that specific model. Conversions should probably jsut be posted in the Earthshaker gallery. But its real name is the Chaos Siege Cannon but since it was never properly released you can call it whatever you want.

Zanko:

Thanx a lot! :hat off

:hashut

Willmark:

Well if its a faithful reproduction of the @ss cannon then send it to the staff and we can go from there.

Grimstonefire:

my question is !! i want one

A complete model goes for a small fortune on ebay, so you better start saving!

Or failing that convert a daemon model...  Perhaps best not to dwell on that. :sick

It would be relatively easy to sculpt something similar to that. The crew would be a little harder.

Zanko:

Am I right that my cannon then will fit better in the caregory Siege Cannon than to the Earthshaker category?

Cause it looks more like the “Ass Cannon” and it´s not mortar like?!?!





:hashut

Canix:

Zanko that sure looks like a siege cannon to me :hat off

clam:

I think that gallery section originally were made for those two specific models and put in the specialist games section, because there are no official rules for those.

Can see Willmark’s scratch build Jugger is there, so very not put your cool siege cannon there as well? Even if it’s a “count as” Earthshaker.

And a site note. The name ‘Chaos Siege Cannon’ comes from this Chronicle/GW mail order flyer (1989)



- but as said never official released - so probably the most official name it has - but I do prefer the name: ‘ass cannon’ :smiley:

And should you ever find this:



- don’t hesitate posting that in the mention sub-section as well :wink:

Gelli:

Since willmarks jugger is in the catergory I agree with clam with the idea that it makes sense that you be allowed to put it in that category but i’m no authority tbh. Also where did you find that clam!? It’s pretty awesome.

Zanko:

It´s done!

After the placet of our Dark Overlord I changed the threat … :wink:

Maybe there should be a new thread entitled “Ass Cannon”. :smiley:

wallacer:

Maybe there should be a new thread entitled "Ass Cannon". :D

Then we'd probably get 40k players posting pictures of Assault Cannons in there :sick

clam:

Also where did you find that clam!? It's pretty awesome.

It's an Heretic Ball 2008 (Heresy Miniature's sculpting comp) - but didn't win - so wasn't casted by Heresy - but who knows, what the sculptor has done with it. I'm not that fond of the cannon itself - but the crews ... damn they are excellent.
