Their sealed suits of armour are covered
in valves, pipes and respiratory systems
used to make the air palatable to their
aether-gold addled lungs.
It's another happy Friday here on The Art of Caesura!
Last week we saw my Kharadron Overlord force expand with some powerful firepower in the form of aethershot rifles. This week I've added some special weaponry to my Thunderers.
In my zeal and hobby enthusiasm, I clipped off all the bits before sticking them together (rather than building one mini at a time), and in the process (and then from moving house) seem to have lost the left arm of the dude with the Aetheric Fumigator (the guy with the weed-killer spray gun). Before I converted a new arm, I wanted to have a good look for the old one, but that meant that he got left in the dust of the other special weapon guys.
The names of their weapons (as is often the case in Warhammer) are quite confounding! Take this first guy for example, do you think he has:
a) A Grundstok grenade-launcher
b) A Grundstok mortar
c) An aethercannon
If you said "a) Grundstok grenade-launcher" then you're a sensible chap, because that's what it looks like, but you would be incorrect. It is actually "b) a Grundstok mortar" and I only know this by going to their website, where it says:
"A Grundstok mortar (with an extra bomb for modelling on the base)"
To me, the next one looks more like a mortar: short stubby barrel and all!
But it is, of course, our aethercannon. The next one is one of my faves: The Decksweeper! It bears a striking resemblance to a weapon that Leonardo Da Vinci iterated on: the ribauldequin, or organ gun! But hey, if the designers are going to get inspiration from somewhere, it might as well be Da Vinci!
Now that I see all these guys together and looking great, I'm even more motivated to give a more concerted look for the fumigator's left arm so that I can paint him up and add him to the corps!
I'll be sure to update you when I get the final special weapon guy in line, but until then, have a great weekend and I'll see you next week on The Art of Caesura!
