Unexpected items in the baggage area

[Gobbit Snotrag]

My current project is inspired by an act of kindness by Jamie Loft. Having picked up a MDF cart from Warbase miniatures, I ordered some baggage items from Old School Miniatures and Jamie threw in some excellent chaos dwarf (well ewal dwergar) pieces too!

Realising I have more than one cart load of stuff, I am now thinking about different load outs for my different armies. One day I'll buy a second cart but this approach appeals to my inner cheapskate.

For my Empire/Bretonnia mishmash army, I have a cart horse from warbases but need to aquire a driver (maybe a halfling?)

I'm all set for my Chaos army, with a boar to pull. For the greenskins I'll just need to find a driver. For undead I'm thinking about a plague cart-ish effort. For my Skaven - no idea!

Not sure, what you are talking about...

Thanks - That's why I've never seen any!

I kinda wasn't gonna point that out ^_^ cause if you wanted a baggage cart, why not?

 

[Gobbit Snotrag]

Now I am tempted!

Another thing Skaven don't have is Bloodbowl cheerleaders - but that might be a step too far...

Having a rat oger pulling a makeshift card loaded with warp stone for the grey seer, crawling with tiny rats, would actually make for a good fitting Skagen baggage train

That’s daft that an army would not have any baggage! Sounds like a rules excuse for not having a mini ready yet…
How does baggage work in subsequent editions? I know for TOW it is counted as a 60x100mm base mini diorama that can be captured or destroyed.

In 4e and 5e there was no baggage. Never played 6e+.

Some interesting baggage from a game last night…

i'm okay with the idea of skaven troops carrying their own supplies and living off the land, but their war machines must require logistics.

 

[ManicMan]

really? Doomwheel is powered by rats which are cheap and easy to replace. Screaming bell is just a cart with a bell. Warpstone isn't hard for them to source either ^_^

 

[Brother Meredith]

They still need to eat and drink, carry spare weapons, cover for sleeping?

 

[ManicMan]

Cover for sleep? With the rags picked up from the battle fields, raided from local huts and all the tunnels to travel in safety? Tunnels spread all around the old world, there would be store houses and again, raids.

well.. another thing which to distract myself with.. not a bloodbowl player though been temped just cause I got some figures and local shop runs a tournament... while it's tricky for Female Skaven (yeah... that is.. very tricky) Bloodbowl was always set in a later then WFB era parallel world so.. I wonder.. I think i got some good scraps for this..

Not all cheerleaders are female… IRL it started as an all-male activity, only becoming more female oriented during WW2. GW Bush was a cheerleader in his college years.

 

[ManicMan]

Oh, I know that. GW Bush.. erm.. Oh George Bush's one son.. I'm not sure if that's a pro or a con.. though if you go back to cheerleading in the medieval times (cause they were what we would think of cheerleaders) it get far more complex.

But a male on in this situation is dull.. I have that female Goblin one which is very fun. I think a Female Skaven one can be very fun too, and more so then a male skaven ^_^ (well.. unless a male skaven wearing a wig and
