I am doing a campaign game with my local group and working up rules for a Dwaven Mining Cart. I am modifing the cart out of the BfSP kit to make the model. Here is what I have, I would like for you guys to see if it is fair and balanced.

1D6 Impact hits, Miners have Mining Picks (GW)
100 pts.

Ahahaha.

Awesome. My friends and I have been wanting to find a way to use those Grudge pony models.


I think it's pretty decently valued. I like!

If anything, it may even be over-priced. 100 points gets you a Cold One Chariot, which is far more powerful (although Stupid).

75-80 sounds more reasonable. I'd make it a Rare choice.

I think its a good idea, dwarfs are lacking in diversity, no mounts chariots etc. I agree with Manfred in one way 100pts is to expensive but i do not think it should be a rare choice. Lastly id make it S6 and perhaps have pump-powered movement which could be 2D6+Number of crew, though theese changes might take it to 100-120pts. Also werre you thinking it should be able to have runes inscribed on it or not?

Runes don't fit with the Miner flavor. Thanks for the input guys, I will post what I come up with.

@Eldar - eh, at times like these, it's nice to just keep it simple, I think. I agree with knightwatch that runes don't feel right for Miners.

True, i suppose thats a bit OTT and flicking through the army book most engineering runes wouldnt work on a chariot anyway.

I can see where the desire for a quasi-chariot may come from; however, I think I would like to see the Dwarf Juggernaut return.

The dwarf juggernaut showed up around 1984 in the Second Citadel Compendium. This is about 7 years before Empire got their Steam Tank (1991 Green Catalog).

This thred finished a week ago... and i certainly wouldnt buy the thing in your picture.

True, the thread was a little old, but the fantasy stuff tends to be on this forum.

As for not wanting to buy the thing in the picture, I would not have wanted to buy the original 1991 steam tank, but the new ones look great. I think a little something for the dwarf fans would be nice.

EDIT: And these easily sell for over $150 when they become available.
