I dont know if I should add this here or New and Rumours.

50 euro for that, plus shippinng, price does look discounted too much until I recognise the size.
Norba have a good record for miniatures quality.

It's a neat piece, but does the company make rules for it as well? If not, what would it "count as"?

For 4-6th WFB, 2-5th 40k, and similar timeframe gaming

Looking for dice from the new AOS boxed set and Dark Imperium on the cheap. Let me know if you can help.

9th Age has the Grudge Buster, which is based on a speciality piece listed in the full hardback edition of WHFB 8th as an example of a custom unit.

Zeppellins are canon tech for dawi.

If you wanted otherwise it could counts as a suitable dogs of war unit, the whole lot could easily have the damage output and mobility of a dragon or manticore. Earlier editions didnt need even that as they had a monsters section.

on the forum. Obviously

Not made of pewter. Not interested



On a more serious note, it is pretty nice.
What to use it for though? Were there rules for Dwarven Zeppelins in WHFB?

As stated 9th Age has them for Dwarven Holds army. WHFB did have them in cannon and there were stats for one in the large hard 8th BRB.

Essentially no, there were no rules. The best option you could go for is create rules/points for a flying Steam Tank piloted by Dwarves. Or maybe a DOW Dragon "counts as" model.


Or play T9A, which will never be an option for me.

We'll find out soon enough eh.

Eeeeeehhhhh, kinda. They used them during the War of Vengeance, but that tech was long lost by the time Sigmar rolled up and founded the Empire. Only the Spirit of Grungni, Mad Makaisson's prototype "black water" engine airship existed in "modern" times IIRC, and that was significantly bigger than this model.

It's a nice model, but "canon" is a bit of a stretch.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?
I have a blog now, evidently. Featuring the Alternative Mordheim Model Megalist.

Flip your 8th edition rulebook to page 425.

So it is very much canon (if rare, but there were supposed to be just 8 steam tanks in the whole of the Empire so that's hardly a limit).

For scale. The above piece doesnt have all the add onsshown in the OP, which were stretchgoals but wlll be available in the retail version. If you like there may be a way to late back.
I think it is rather fun.

Most stretch goals were unlocked, most notably the dwarf slayer hanging on and the flamethrower respec. The latter will make it fit i more as a 'counts as' allied dragon for 6th.

I am not sure I need it for my dwarfs, but I want one anyway for fun. I can try and rationalise it as an RPG miniature.

Here's MOM's version (much bigger than Norba's), meaning it's pretty much useless in gaming terms, but a very nice model nevertheless.

Very similar model, right through to the twin linked gear gun at the front. For all the ways to build a zeppelin the Norba kit is just a scaled down version. It better fits the Grudge Buster though, while the MOM kit is a Thunderbarge.

That being said it looks like two zeppelins joined together, with the cloth to hide the custom join. If so the two models are very similar indeed.

Were Norba giving MOM the finger by designing the kit as they did. Do these companies have a 'history'?

Also what happpened to that monster , it is not on the MOM site.

More like Norba and everyone else. The guy seems quite the character.
