I call this little fella Skurj & Flensre's Multicombination Eviscerator.

Getting it to fit a cavalry base was probably the hardest part. The main parts are done now, just got to add some extra assessories and blades onto the wheels and the front propeller. Also haven't made up my mind if the driver's new head fits his body (that doomwheel driver seems beefier than average for a skaven).

I'm not sure why, but that Doomflayer really makes me laugh. It looks brilliant, and I'm betting it'll look a bazillion times better with blades coming from all directions.
Keep us updated!
I love these Doomflayer threads. <3

I think the new head looks like it sticks out a bit to much. Perhaps cutting off a bit of the neck area should work.

I love the idea, so I will take three :P
But what bits are from what (so I know what to bits order)

The board that everything is sitting on is the bottom part of a volleygun chassis, I cut it short and used the end half to make the frame that holds the top wheels and gears. The bunch of gears in the frame is also from the volleygun. The top wheels with the axle and pistons is from the steam tank, the pistons are connected with a styrene tube and part of the flint-wheel from disposable lighters (you can see the setup in the 4th pic, the flint-wheels are the black round things).

The whole back section is from the doomwheel, rearranged. I replaced the heads to make them look a little different. The propeller and the front wheels are from the furnace kit, the propeller has the rim cut off so I can stick blades onto the spokes. I'm tossing up on whether to do the same with the top wheels. The propeller's rod is a styrene tube (held in place by a ring made from a larger styrene tube) and tipped with another cog part from a lighter's wheel-flint (visible in the 4th photo) which serves as a socket for the propeller.

The shield is an empire state troops shield with the icon cut off and replaced with the zigzag spike from the doomwheel. I've also got three more lever things from the volleygun to stick in a few places.
