In addition to the Man of Intrigue model the Waaaghpaca GT also required an objective marker to use in a few of the scenarios. As the theme of the army is significantly tied to mining I decided to go with an ore cart. After researching google images I found a picture of what I wanted to model it on.
My first attempt had the perfect ratio from length to width but the overall size was significantly larger than I wanted. It was actually the same height as a dwarf!. For the second attempt I cut the size of the design in half. The ore cart is exclusively made of plasticard with a few bits added to it for flavor. The canary was a last minute addition to add a spot color to an overly dark model and to further strengthen the tie to the mining theme. In retrospect the one thing I would have done differently would have have been to fill the cart with gold or maybe bright colored gems. As is it turned out to be quite a lot of work for something that had minimal impact on the game.
