Link below takes you to a very good article on putting the Doomwheel together.

This is is the kind of the content that should be more prevalent on GW's website.

Ah, now this is a welcome addition. That thing looks like a pain for a newbie to assemble properly.

**Soup and a roll**

I think I need something similar for my new blood slaughterer. Useful article. He is obviously a fan of Devlan Mud.

Isn't everyone? Devlan Mud makes it all better. Devlan Mud tells me to hurt people. At first I didn't think that it was right, but then I got more Devlan Mud and it was all better. I'd never hurt my Devlan Mud...

**The Crippler**

That's a really good article for an advanced-level model. Definitely one of the most complex kits GW has ever produced and the article is a good fit for it.

Huh?

The only problem assembling the Slaughterer was the legs and getting them all in the right position to sit flat. No instruction book in the world would be able to help with that.

Fantastic, I shall certainly being trying to follow that guide when I assemble my Doomwheel.

When I first saw that thing, I was sure I would have to do 90% of the painting on the sprue. Now, It seems like not such a daunting prospect. That's the sort of help they used to put in White Dwarf all the time. Oh well, at least they went to the effort in one media, if not the other. And you can look at the website for free!

I agree. I'm tryng to do those kind of articles for the DP9 site as well, if we release any 'complex' kits. (I did one for the new combat mounts for example.)

They're a good way to combine 'model porn' with good customer support info, and I think they can help sell models... I know the old GW IG Tank aricles made me want to build some tanks.

There is also a Skaven banners pdf which might be of use to people.

thanks Flashman, good find.

They have actually put quite a few articles up like this over the past few months including one for the Drop Pod (great as the instructions for that are just wrong, and don't even mention you can make the bolter rotating), the Rhino, the Hammerhead and the Stegadon, most of them including the painting too. The website has really started to improve over the last six months and they are adding useful articles most days now.
