The Beer Cart Returns

 This post is a return to form. Good form, that is. The end is the beginning is the end. Welcome back, Beer Cart!

One fine day as the start of Spring approached, a rumbling sound was heard along the old canyon path. A pony was seen pulling... a converted Mine Cart... that had a Keg atop it!

Unknown Peasant: The Beer Cart is back! Have the Dwarves finally returned? This moment is so beautiful, I might never be the same again!


Around the pony's neck is a name tag: Butters the Pony. He has been wandering around Middle Earth for ages, without an owner. This was Bugmans Backup Beer Cart. There were tales of sightings but civilized folks assumed this was an old wives tale similar to  The Flying Dutchman err... I mean The Flying Marienburgher.. When the Dwarves of Moria disappeared long ago, many assumed the Beer Carts were lost as well. What adventures did Butters have and how did he survive in the wildlands for so long? Crom only knows. The blessings of the Valar must be upon this creature. But being a wild pony has left him hungry, cranky, mean and weak. But not weak enough to stop pulling his Beer Cart. Butters seems to know how important the Keg is.

And this is the Dwarf Mining Cart that came in the "Battle for Skull Pass" Warhammer 7th edition box set. I added a Wizkids Beer Keg to the cart and it fit in perfectly without any modifications. It was meant to be.

Are the rumors of the return of the Dwarves true? If it happens, it will be a glorious day indeed. Stay tuned, true believers. I ordered for the table *Dont Stop Believing starts playing*

Oh and work continues on my home made rules set. Im halfway through the campaign scenarios that come with it. Of course when thats done, I will have to playtest them. So the Beercart will come in handy when that time comes. Here is another image done by LordOdo of Lead Adventure Forum...

He has some artwork for new and old characters from the blog...
