Supply Wagon Strategy piece?

[Stanislav]

Anyone came up with anything cool for it? I mean, yeah you can use the 50mm base, but that's boring. I've looked but haven't found anything suitable.

Any ideas?

this one is lame

this one is better

There's a chuck wagon as well as some pack mules under the colonial section in the equipment/cannon section.

One of the guys at our store was using something from (I think) the Lord of the Rings miniature game. Was more like a battering ram, but looked pretty good.

I actually just pulled this Strategy for the very first time last night (in like...30 some games, haha), so it also got me thinking about needing an actual wagon on a 50mm base for it.

I thought some of the smaller steampunk-y vehicles from these guys might fit on a 50mm base. I have emailed them to ask if they have any that small.

[MrNybbles]

I'm not sure what style you are looking for. A lot of WW1/2 miniatures have wagons of sorts. (caissons, misc supplies, etc).

Even a mine cart would be useful. That's what the Showgirls used for smuggling in the sewers of Malifaux.

Cart w/Yoke (3ea) - 28mm

Opel Blitz 3-ton Truck (2x Resin) - I think this one is a 15mm Flames of War miniature.

Irregular Miniatures -- UK store and navigation is a nightmare. check under 25mm (mislabeled as 28mm) at the bottom, and "Siege Equipment, Wagons, Workers, Artillery etc" on the left.

I have been using the mine-cart from the WHFB range.

You'll have to get your own horses, might I suggest Eureka?

I'm using a steam wagon. It's not only because I just want a steam wagon- it's the only way I can think to get the whole thing on a 50mm base (why is it on a 50mm base anyway...?)

I'm planning to use this;

I figure it's ideal for Levi or any of the Ressers.

With the right paint job I figure it could be used for my Neverborn too, but this might be better;

For Arcanists or Guild, maybe something more like this?

And because it's on my mind, Marcus might like this;

I started making one out of some scraps of balsa and popcicle sticks. Still trying to figure out the wheels, was hoping to do something spoked, but I think I will just have to cut something out of a piece of balsa.

You should be able to buy miniature wagon wheels from most craft stores (Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc). Try there first.

I'm using some wagons I got when I bought one of those old west towns off E-bay. It came in a kit with buildings, etc. I dropped the horses (since they don't fit on the 50 mm base) and just went with the wagon.

I dropped the horses (since they don't fit on the 50 mm base) and just went with the wagon.

Since the wagon magically moves every turn, I don't think anyone will begrudge you without a horse on the base

I've been using a WFB orc chariot base with some small crates and sacks set on it.

It was originally just a terrain piece so it doesn't have a beast of burden pulling it. I imagine the Battle For Skull Pass Pony would be easy enough to work in though

[Koyote]

Since the primary purpose for the settlement of the Malifaux world is to mine soul stones and a mining theme has been reproduced in a number of the factions, I believe that an ore cart fits that theme nicely. The carts are propelled by either steam power or magic or both.

The ore cart are from the 7th edition Warhammer Battle for Skull Pass boxed set. I was told that it is also available in the WFB Dwarf Miners kit. The shovels, hitches, and steering mechanisms come from an OOP 40K IG tank accessory sprue. The barrels are from Warhammer Ogre Bulls sprue. The packs come from the 40K Space Marine Attack Bike sprue.

The ore cart are from the 7th edition Warhammer Battle for Skull Pass boxed set. I was told that it is also available in the WFB Dwarf Miners kit.

Indeed they are, I even think you get 1 for every 5 miners. So it's not even that expensive if you just want the carts, (Though any Dwarf player will probably give you them for free or a trade)

[Talishko]

Those wfb dwarf ones are very good! The thing I love about the objective markers in Malifaux is that you can find or make your own piece the way you see it fit your crew. I can imagine a stolen pump-cart struggling to go off the rails for gremlins, for example. I am using this model for my rezzers:

A nice little backup of 'building' material.
