Marduk Cannon and Blazin Icon of Marduk

The Marduk Cannon is essentially based on some of the cannons used during the Siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Empire. We included some ornaments to link the design to the Sons of Marduk aesthetic.

The Cannon is designed to expel molten metal through its mouth. We followed a basic medieval -even ancient- Iron Smelting procedure in order to achieve this idea, where a bunch of propeller, like carbon, is placed on top of a pire with metal at the bottom, in order to heat it to a high temperature.

The top of the cannon shows a pattern of crackling, lava-like fissures running through it. Like if molten magma has been trapped inside a metal tube, barely contained and ready to burst. We expect to see some nice OSL paintings with this miniature!

The Sons of Marduk Cannon is designed over a 50x100mm square base.

Here you can see some of the references that have inspired us to design the Sons of Marduk Cannon.

For the Icon of Marduk we went a bit over the top to create a majestic center piece. This is probably one of the biggest miniature we have ever created. The main idea comes from a combination of a siege ram and a big religious icon, with some torture tools thrown in the middle.

The Brazen Bull -a torture and execution device designed in ancient Greece- plays a huge role in this miniature. Image a big and scary bull made of bronze, with fumes and awful noises coming out of his vents, coming right at you in the middle of the battlefield.

This chariot-like miniature comes also with two cannons, perfectly designed to blast your way through the table.

The Blazing Icon of Marduk is designed over a 60x100mm square base.

Here you can see some of the references that have inspired us to design the Blazing Icon of Marduk.
