so i bought something like.. 128 viking miniaturs from http://www.wargamesfactory.com/ and i figured.. hell im having them count as orks.. i know they arent big enough but for games with my friends i think it will be ok.. lol but heres my thing. i wanna make 9 killa kans in a theme to work wth the vikings.. my only idea was do a wicker man or something. Help lol

**Kilkrazy**

I like the wicker man idea even though I think it's celtic rather than Viking.

How about making killer kans out of clinker=built overlapping steel planks, and stick a dragon's head on top. Style it after a Viking longship.

**Lord_Ghazghkull**

So ive been thinking about the wickerman concept and i decided it wouldnt work. but heres what i came up with. a big wooden man shaped war machine

And heres a picture for scale

C and C please

Also looking for ideas for weapons

**Kid_Kyoto**

I like it, it's silly. Maybe give it a catapult or a huge bow?

**Lord_Ghazghkull**

im thinking either a BALISTE or big crossbow. or an onager. aka tortion catapult. gonna mock up a few examples then post my results.

I wish one of my friends would be this creative!

**Empchild**

ballista definately

Good to see someone doing something original. The boxman would be much improved if you add some glyphs to him for the army he belongs in. Keep up the good work.

**Lord_Ghazghkull**

the boxman is going to get a dragon like head.. and also his inner frame will be smaller.. stupid me for not taking into account the thickness of my materials.
