Bottles - Much Better Than Cans

Posted by puggimer , 13 July 2012 · 356 views

Most anyone who drinks beer agrees that bottles are better than cans.

So the bottles came in - way too expensive but it isn't like I got into this hobby to save money. These are much better than the cans I tried for the hammerers. Anyway, I think these will actually work - however it will be a big challenge to do the conversions - I tried the first one using a drill, and kind of drilled off the thunderer's face (so he is going in the back row). The second was better just using a hobby knife.

The bottles are just blu-tacked on as I will paint the figures before gluing them in place. I'm also wondering if I should have some of the bottles spraying beer (probably just in the front row) of each unit

You have no idea how much i enjoy seeing these miniature drinks on dwarves, but i'm sure theres cheaper ways make botles.. unless you're not gonna paint the bottles.

Thanks. And yes, there are definitely cheaper ways to do these, but I wanted clear brown and green bottles, and did not want to paint them. If I did them myself then I would have to paint them, and I do not have the skills to make them look like gl"I swear too much"

All you need now is a 5cl Bottle mounted on a cannon carriage for them to defend...

Sorry to be a killjoy but you get bottles in the outriders and state troops kits for empire!

Alric - the bottles there however are to scale - so they are about 1/3 the size of these. If I decide to have them drinking out of bottles then these would be great and I'll have to remember them, but they are a bit small to use as guns.
