Hi All

Not sure if these have been shown here in the past, yet I was in at Eureka miniatures today and could not help myself.

I have not bought this yet, however I will get it next week. After placing some weapons on the sides, may I introduce my proxy for a Chaos Deathwheel:





When I saw this next mini, I immediately thought of a Steam Gargant. Just dont put the driver on, get a head and arms on this and you have a Steam Gargant for less than half the price!



Cheers.....

It's the Pax Limpopo line, from Eureka Miniatures. It's one of the weirdest lines of figures I've seen in terms of WTF?!?. Unicycle Lancers, Combat Penny Farthings, Mechanical Pigs, and now these two.

But for the above links, we have...

Clockwork HelmetTank
Steam Charger

Though, for my tastes, you can't go past his lines of Colonial/Napoleonic Teddy Bear lines.

I particularly liked the "Two man Prussian War Hat team" very bizarre!

apparently very good stuff... read the background for the models... alternate 19th century with one really bizarre charge of the light brigade... on unicycles.

First time I saw this line was in a series of photos from a convention game where they had to catch the pig. It had the queen and her party, Dinos, blimps, and other odd stuff all on the same table. Very odd.

Certainly has potential ... :agree:  Especially the Steam Gargant concept ...  :alien:

I found me another Steam Gargant Proxy.

At AUS$5 from Target, it is not a bad little proxy at all.



Obviously it could be added to, painted or two could be taken apart and mashed together somehow as well

I'm tempted to get a Mechanical Clockwork Pig to convert for my epic chaos army! I never thought I'd seem a Dalek-ian Penny Farthing either, novel range.
