Doom Flayer; I'm looking for inspiration

I've decided that I really like the idea of the Doom Flayer so I'm looking to either convert or scratch build at least 6 of them but with only one (rather amazing) Doomflayer here in the galery I'm stuck for inspiration.

So I just thought I'd ask to see other pictures of Doom Flayers in any stages of construction or things that you either think would make a good base to convert the model from or things that just look like portable meat grinders that can inspire.

Thanks to all in advance for help.

Just out of curiosity, what size army do you expect to take 6 Doomflayers in? I have a hard time not taking a WFT and if I can fit in a 3rd weapons team, a plague mortar.

BTW, there are several Doomflayer conversions in this gallery, aside from mine, but you have to go back 60 or 90 days to see all of them.

I made a couple of these puppies for my Skaven army which are made almost completely out of bits:

Not as good as some of them around but I like them.

Thats a nice looking flayer there spikedog! I like how you did the rust and how you painted the skaven logo over the shield.
You only get one chance to make a last impression...

The list I was thinking of is listed here Only 5 Doom Flayers but I like even numbers

Spikedog I've already added your Doom Flayer to my favourites as inspiration, found it on google images. What I like best about it is that it actually fits on a cavalry base which is one of the areas I've been struggling with.

Yeah, that's one problem I've been having big time. Especially trying to get two crew members on it. Makes it almost impossible to use warmachines or chariots as a base.

Yea I really wanted to make the figure fit on a cavalry base and while mine does I had to make some compromises, it over hangs the front of the base by about .5" and it only has a single crew member.

I think there are some awesome looking models that stay true to the original design (For Example) but there is no way it would fit on a cav base which makes it being used in game a little more difficult.

...you can still call me Rusty Tincanne if you want, though.

Expensive. Out of Print. But I've always loved the Confrontation "Goblin Madwheels:

Seem to come 3/box though, making each mini ~$10 USD. I guess taht isn't so bad. And conversions would be a cinch with the old clannie heads and some GS'd fur.
