Can anyone post pics of unpainted Dwarf Cannons/Anvils?
« on: October 01, 2010, 08:39:22 PM »
Hi, I've just won some cannons and a couple of Anvils on ebay and they look a little odd (maybe recast) to me. Before I ask the seller about them could anyone post up pics of how the cannon + wheels are supplied by GW? Same thing with the anvil. I'll post a pic of my own for comparison.

Here's a picture of the cannon I bought:



Does it usually (or ever) come with these wheels and moulded in this way?

Sorry that the pic is so small, if you can't see the wheels are the spoked Empire style wheels and they're cast on the same piece as the cannon body.

Phew! The cannons I already own have different wheels ('spoke-free' closed ones like the ones on the GW website).

Confirmed

BIG gun and little gun, with closed wheels and open wheels, and IIRC there is even a cast around that allows you to field the mortar. Also, the Empire Hellblasters has a early and a LATE style cast with different configuration of the carriage. I am stuck in de middle of France atm, but will try and provide pictures on this next week (when home)

Thanks Lex. I'm now in the business of selling cheap cannons...

Seriously, this is a real relief, I really didn't want to get involved with recasts and the seller of this item has been good in the past.
