Dwarf Army - for BOYL, TOW and beyond - progress reports

[Brother Meredith]

If you're anything like me you'll be cursing the fact you've attached the rotor blades before painting the rest. I found it a right fiddle getting to some of the details. I need to finish the rest of my flight 🚁🚁🚁. Definitely the best gyrocopter model though!

The blades, body and flight stand are currently separate for that very reason! That is a push fit hold (with a little help from blu-tack!).

The old gyro is now airborne!

Man.... this is just the best version.

200% agree.

It still manages to look like a fantasy model whilst being a helicopter.

Good lord, people are asking daft money for the originals on Ebay.

Yet to see anything sensibly priced on eBay

Managed to get this one for an ok price… (I think).

I like how the 3rd version looks more lightweight and Wright Brothers-esque, don’t understand how the iron clad plastic version could fly! https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/sho...qQNbmrSElBEwa-GrN6mQM8G5P9ccGpIRnIlUP0EHzUprX

I would not blink at £25.00, if I was getting desperate then maybe £40.00.

But I want it as a nostalgia thing, not for an army or collection or anything, so I want rather than need it.

The new ones just look like sci-fi jibber jabber.

It's the daft way they do things in the new editions like say dwarfs can only use hammers and axes because those were their tools and they don't change, then have them fly around in cartoon blobs.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Its an odd design following the biplane aesthetic of previous versions, looks more like a rocket…

 

[Brother Meredith]

Prime time!



Yikes and that was Post 2000!

 

[Michael Stockin]

Your eyesight does not deceive you! The original version. I may have the 2nd version in my Space Marine collection…

I think I may have one in a box somewhere. If I can find, you're more than happy to have for a reasonable price (the cost of P&P )

 

[Michael Stockin]

ooooh well if you have one spare...

Oh and does anyone know if this Flame Thrower is still available anywhere?

pretty sure it's not currently in production.. wonder if RPE take requests on old models to put back in production. might be worth dropping them a line
