Dwarven catapult

[Standifer]

Several weeks ago I got to go to the hobby store and found a couple of new minis, one was this little jewel.

It is pretty much done in the painting department, but what good is a catapult without its crew?

These are some Oathmark dwarves that I’m converting to do the job.

I admit the barrel is too big to fit in the catapult, but I’m going to find a way to work it in.

I need to build a base big enough to hold everything and get some more dwarves, it is a start though.

Ideas are welcome!

Thanks for looking!

Perhaps attaching the barrel to one of the front braces of the catapult, and rigging up some kind of spigget might work. After all hauling ammo is thirsty work, and dwarves need their beer and coffee anyway...

Not a bad idea. I may just use it! Thanks!

Nice find!

Used some of my milliputt to make some roundish balls to serve as ammo. I am planning to add some carry handles and maybe a fuse.

And they now have a keg of root beer. It just needs to be mounted.

Here is the current plan for the layout. 

Thanks for looking!

Progress has been made!

Found a suitable base coated it in milliputt. Here is the current layout, nothing has been glued down yet.

And of course the keg of rootbear is present!

Need to paint everything so I can start mounting it.

Thanks for looking!
