The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

It’s beginning to look a lot like Stompmas.

Got a bit more done.

A word that I made up (but may well exist) will be the order of the day - chain differential. I was staring at that sketch thinking when it suddenly came to me - my army wears chains, why not use them in a mechanical fashion? So, here's what's going down - the engine's sole purpose, aside from powering the legs, will be to crank chains in a wheel in a very medieval fashion. On either side of the main engine, there are wheels with chains lashed around them functioning as pulleys of a sort - these chains lead up to the shoulder area, where they sit coiled around the shoulders. The idea of this is that when the chains are cranked down below, it rotates the shoulder joint, moving the arms.

 

I have more to do to the engine, of course, and gaps to fill. Still, the arms are minorly reposable. I have to add exhaust pipes and more things that project off the back a bit - it's too level.
