Looking for ideas...
« on: March 25, 2008, 06:08:48 PM »
I'm painting up a Dwarven warband and I was thinking it would be cool to paint up a pony-driven baggage cart to trail along behind them.  So I searched the miniatures companies I'm familiar with but didn't really find anything.  I noticed Essex has plenty of carts (horse and ox driven) but I wasn't sure how it would look next to Reaper Dwarves.  Any suggestions?  I'm not particularly adept at scratch building stuff so I'm trying to avoid it if possible... :oops:

Thanks,
Rodney

The battle for skull pass Warhammer Fantasy boxed set has a miners' cart drawn by a pony - if you could find it on ebay or locatae someone willing to trade it, it's not bad.

That's a good idea Vanvlak, I might do that.  I was really looking for something more open in the back to throw in some Barrels of Ale and other such Dwarven gear.  ;)  I might have to do both now.  Thanks.

How about Gandalf's cart from the LotR-range (if it's still available)?

Thanks for the offer Jase, but I have a friend who has one he'll give me.  I looked at the GW one Argonor and that one looks good too.  I'll just have to make me a Dwarf driver for it, but I like how it looks.  It's available through their site too.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, I was going to suggest that  [if you are a richer type of wargamer :lol: ]

It's still available, but AFAIK only via mail-order and it is a fantastic model. My reasoning for getting one was that I only need one so was just about able to accept the cost.

Or, if its too much, Irregular have some decent ones for very reasonable prices for £4.25 [2 wheel] and £6.25 [4 wheel] here:

Or a more expensive big fella, at £11.25:
