Medieval Battering Ram

[TinyTerrain]

Hi,

Decided to have a break from painitng, and didnt want to lose a whole day working on the French walled town today (thats going to be Thursday/ Friday with any luck  ) so I decided to try my hand at making a covered wagon battering ram to represent my Engineer units in my Hundred Years War English Army.



Looks much better in the flesh....looks a bit dumpy here!

Anyway, more details of what, why and how are on my blog, http://wargames.blog.co.uk/2013/05/27/project-10mm-hundred-years-war-french-english-armies-part-16061497/

Nice!

Why can I hear the words 'Grond! Grond!' in the background?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Thought Grond was more of a Petard.

Building Siege gear is fun...

looks really good    maybe 4 wheels on each side would look more balanced?

Grond was the battering ram used by the orcs to break the main gate of Minas Tirith.

I KNOW THAT, but it seems to go BANG !!! in the books.

Now finished with a few extra wet hides made from greenstuff, and a suitable paintjob:

No, the explosive device in the storm culvert was what the orcs used to bring down the wall at Helms Deep.

In the film, Grond had a ridiculous fire-basket at its nose, which would have crumpled like tissue paper at first impact.

The finished article looks the business, Craig. Nice one! 

[Techno]

I'll second that !
Great job Craig.
Cheers - Phil.
