{WotB} Field Piece - Dwarven Arrow Swarmer

[Garmadon]

Here is my second field piece for the Battle of Wither Woods, the Dwarven Arrow Swarmer:

Created by Mitgardian dwarves out of solid rock, this field piece can be very useful weapon against the enemy. Due to the various gears and mechanisms inside the Arrow Swarmer, all that is needed to fire it is to pull the lever (the dark gray piece).

The pics showing how to build it are on my photostream (the bottom, and taken apart one and two).

@Ska, I found that when attaching the wheels, the halfpins need to be attached first to the wheel, and then inserted into the other part.

Game info:

1. The Dwarven Arrow Swarmer is an extremely strong weapon and cannot be destroyed except by exceptionally powerful blows.

2. For each volley there is a 3% possibility of the gears inside being messed up, in which case the weapon would be rendered useless.

3. The Swarmer is slower than the Repeating Catapult but only needs one soldier to operate.

4. The range is 100 to 120 studs, and it shoots four arrows per volley.

5. As it is made of rock, it is extremely heavy and needs at least 2 horses to be moved.

6. The Swarmer is a rather rare weapon, so there will probably be less than ten total on the battle field (either side, but again, most for Dugal).

C&C are welcome

This is really neat

These would be cool to have on the walls of a dwarven fortress!

[Kai NRG]

Neat little cannon! I like the influx of small, but still high quality builds this challenge has created, we don't see enough of those! Photography is suberb, by the way.

Very cool siege engine, the four arrow tubes look quite intimidating

[Garmadon]

Thanks all!

Thanks, I might have to do that now

Thanks, SK, it does look a very dangerous

Great job on making it clean and compact!

Very mean looking field piece! What a cool design, great job Garmadon!

[Scaevola]

Nice design, this is one of my favorites so far for the challenge- I might build one of these if I have the pieces

That's a really cool idea, looks great! I love how it's made out of "stone", which is perfectly fitting for a dwarven war machine.

[Lord Vladivus]

Damn. Pretty cool! Great build!

Thanks, it really is not very hard to build (if you have a lot of Emmets )

Thanks, I thought it would be a good idea to make it stone because metal would most likely be too modern for a GoH field piece

This one is going to be harder for us to build, but it is very cool. We will see if one pops up on the battlefield.

It looks so rigid? (Strong if I am not mistaken)

Well done on this weapon Garmadon..!
