Just how big is it compared to the other deathrollers?
And compared to dwarves in general?

yesterday i glued the whole thing together... quite a beast. Picts at my website under secret weapons 5. ed. IMO more a collector item than a game mini !

Maybe i can post a pict with all three different rollers tonight ?

Trav summed it uop, its a collector piece, i dont see how you can actually play with it as it woiuld taker up about 6 squares ( Well ok maybe 4

)

Trav, shouldn't the DR be on the base the other way around; the ball on the ground, now in front of the DR has been puntured by it, and so has a helmet. I'm not sure; I'd have to check tonight when I have access to the mini, but I seem to remember it should be...

well, the helmet and the ball are in front of my glued "mini"

i used the pict of the Fanatic magazine#6 to check ( btw, nice cover

... but maybe i made a mistake. Doesnt matter for me as the single parts are not glued on the base yet...

It is really too big for play.
So I wouldn't buy it unless you want to collect it.

blah! Trav's driver is just backing up

thats why the back wheels jump of the ground! You all got it wrong, Trav's the first one who really understood the mini

Sorry, couldn't resist!

aye, its a great mini. its not to bad in size.

Takes up alot more than a bigguy, but atleast you dont have to worry about knocking it over

I won mine about a month ago at the Underworld cup for most casualties, but have not put it together fully yet

he came missing a leg. got one on order atm.

I'm starting to wonder wheter with all the over-sized mini's that have been released recently, Fanatic/GW are/were planning on releasing a bigger scale pitch?

Or maybe they have no idea what they are doing and only want to sell minis?

Here the promised pict of the 5.ed Deathroller with the 2.ed roller and a 3.ed human for scale... sorry, no 3.ed Roller at the moment as i used this mini for my BB stand diorama

Is the base 40 mm across?

Posted: **Mon Dec 13, 2004 7:16 pm**

yep, 40mm. Morrison used the original GW 40mm plastic base as template.

On a different note:
How do you keep the 2nd ed deathroller together?
It seems quite weak between the roller and the engine.
Doesn't it break easily?
