Fire Flingers for Dark Alchemy?
« on: May 06, 2016, 09:22:15 PM »
Anybody have some hints on possible minis to represent the fire flingers?

The description says they are medium war constructs with a barrel or tank of some sort that holds the flammable alchemical mixture.


Maybe a steampunk mini from somewhere? Or something like a Skaven warpfire thrower with only one figure?

Guy in that thread has a cheap children's box of figures that works really well for him.

I saw those, but am looking for something more construct/golem like.

When I get around to playing the Dark Alchemy scenarios, I plan on using knights in plate armour, with thier lower arms replaced by tubes / gun barrels. If I can find some I hope to glue small barrels on thier backs, with maybe tubes connected to the arms.

This might be a bit big.

It also might give you some ideas.

Perhaps one of the range of golems from Mage Knight, for example:

Is that Mage Knight golem really $56.99?  Is is super rare or powerful in that game? 


The Warmacine ones look great, though maybe too big.  I;ll have to dig into it.  Lots of Warmachine stuff is cheap now, since many online stores are liquidating all their stock.


The AT-43 one looks really crazy, I had no idea they had minis that looked like that now.

Privateer has smaller models with arcano-tech flamethrowers, most notably the Menoth Flameguard Cleansers:

and the Khadoran Assault Commando weapon attachment:

Both are human troops, but they wear enough armor that you could pretend they're a construct easily enough.  At the very least, their parts could be useful, and PP does sell parts direct-only.

AT-43 is one of my favourite sci-fi  games, its OOP now as Rackham went to the wall.  The Golems are constructs which have their personalities/memories downloaded into organic brains.        Cool idea.   ???

You can still get them on e-bay now and then.

@DegenerateElite: I didn't notice the price. I only wanted to show the picture. They are out of production, but you can by on EBay. There you can get Mage Knight Golems for about 2 €.

That Warmachine Assault commando is just a damn amazing miniature, regardless of any need for it.

Really cool.

Most Warmachine humans are a slightly larger scale than the Frostgrave figures - not that that would matter so much if being used as a Construct.
