A friend of mine asked me if I was allowed to field more Engineers and if yes why I didn't field more then just my Doomrocketeer.

I actually didn't really know so I got inspired to do a few more Warlock Engineer conversions.

-A remake of my Doomrocketeer
-A Brass Orbadier / Death Globadier
-A few (1 or 2) standard techy Engineers with a Shocklance or Gun etc.

Here is the first work in progress, the Brass Orbadier / Death Globadier. The observant rat will notice where I got my inspiration from: Shadowsliver one of the best Skaven Conversionists on this forum. Thx for inspiring me once again with your awesome rats. :)

really good work there like how it looks like a kit that GW released with how well all the different parts fit together.

what's the globe from out of interest?

The globe is from one of the Empire Wizards found a few of them on ebay for cheap so I bought them with Globadiers in mind.

Got another one done, this time the standard all purposes lock as in naked, lvl 1 or lvl 1 with condenser.
The weapon is kinda huge but it does make him very warlock engineerish :)
The plan was to make 2 or 3 of these their main use most likely being the naked redirecting locks, however I'm running out of Stormvermin bodies.

Next up is the remake of the doomrocketeer which leaves me with 4 Stormvermin bodies for conversion purposes I might use those to make more Globe throwing engineers which could double up as globadiers.

Nice job! I'm itching to get my act together and finish the two globadiers I've started. Thanks for the credit btw, always nice to get recognition.
Forgot if I mentioned it earlier: Nice to see your take on the gutterunners aswell, a nice solution to get runners that match the rest of the army better than the old mordheim kit.

Is the pointing arm locked in place? Might be the angle, but looks to be pointing slightly downwards.
Is the globe arm from the WLC engineers, with wizard globe added?
Any plans to add globes or more piping to fill in the space between the backpack and his back?

Nice to see that the WLC engineer heads fits in size (same goes for the most recent wizard globe arm).
I've got some in my bitz box and they seemed quite small compared to the doomwheel and old wizard globe.
But you've made it work, so I've gotten my hopes up again!

Hey Sliver!

The globearm is a Stormvermin arm. It's one of the halberd arms I had lying around. I have added the Empire Wizards globe to it. I have been looking forever to find the gloved hands you had been using but they were nowhere to be found so this was the best alternative.
The pointing arm is pointing slightly downwards which was intended seeing as his base will have him standing on a hill made of cork in a slight angle which will make his pointing arm be in line with the base straight forward.
I will be adding some more wires and piping to both engineers. I have some extra wires and warpstone bits from the doomwheel and abomination kit and about 15 shockprods lying around to make him a bit more techy. My globadiers will try to mimic your globes on the sides and if I fail that I have about 15 barrels from my Ogre friend which can probably be used in some way, the engineer with Brass Orb will get at most one globe on his side to make him a bit more specialised.
I'm also gonna try to cut off all the small runes of an extra warplightning barrel to stick on the exhaust.

About the Warplightning cannon heads. They are quite small and tough to use. What I did was fill up the Stormvermin neck area with a small ball of greenstuff to mimic the Doomwheels head which has a balljoint at its end.

Can't wait to see more of your work. Still subscribed to it on warseer :)

Alright finally got some time to work on my engineers again.

Brass Orb Lock is now done
Doomrocket Lock is done as well (but is a remake of Slivers original)
Cheap Lock is a bit harder seeing as I'm not sure yet what to put on his side. It has to be something I have a few off in my bits box so I can make 1 or 2 more.

Anyways here they are!

and here are some closeups of my Brass Orb toy lock!
