Post by: G-or-G on July 18, 2016, 11:28:09 PM

I am starting a warmaster undead army and the other day I finished two skull chukka conversions:

Love these. I'm currently converting a skull chucker of my own (don't like the official GW model) and this has given me a few ideas.

Great work!

Looks really nice! I love the design!

One thing to note (I'm nitpicking here, feel free to ignore the geekiness ;)): the arm with the counterweight should be a little shorter, as the trebuchet generates the forward momentum for its projectiles via the counterweight swinging freely. If the counterweight thumps to the ground, the trebuchet loses a lot of its power.

This video shows the firing nicely :)
