When I was first delving into MoI, one of the first projects I started on was a Deathwheel. Unfortunately, I lost my original source files in the Great Accidental Thumbdrive Deletion of '10.
Anyway, I've been thinking Deathwheels again, and was wondering if there was any interest. Here's an early prototype:
It's a little over 40mm tall/wide and a little over 20mm thick at this point. I'm not super fond of the track detail - I had an awesome track pattern on the original, but I can't remember exactly what it was, only that it was awesome.
Anyhow, is there any interest in a Deathwheel model? It would likely be resin, since with the size, metal would be cost prohibitive. I'm thinking of building some sort of weapon mount in the blank circular area, but I don't know if I would produce weapons for the model.
Any thoughts?
While I agree that the Deathwheel in its current form is kind of silly looking, I'm not too keen on modifying a design that the community, for the most part, has accepted. If I go outside the accepted parameters of size, we start running into issues of advantage/disadvantage due to model size. If you have two Chaos armies fighting each other, one guy with the current Deathwheels, and one with something designed differently, there could be eyebrows raised. Granted, Epic players are far more lenient than 40K players, but the point still stands.
