I'm building up a DoW army for Warmaster (using later medieval Pendrakens) and need a suitable figure for
the Paymaster with wagon.
I thought the ELM18 wagon might work :

...and the General with raised right army, standing to one side
with a green stuff money bag dangling :

I've painted up five pike units so far and they really look the business.
Pikes can literally be a pain !
I have, however, had to explain to our gaming group that they will
be expected to attack them head on - sneaking round the flank will
be a yellow card offence (ungentlemanly conduct)...

Dogs of War are a good army to field.
The other wagons to look at are in the WWI British and WWII German ranges - they aren't as high sided.
A good item to look at is the treasure pile in the Fantasy range (probably the dungeon accessories).
For the birdmen I used the wings from the Pegasus figures attached to crossbow men
Thank you for the response - I will certainly have a look
at the suggestions.
I can't remember what the barbarian flyers are like, but they might work? If the lid flaps down on the wagon I reckon that would look good.
The late Roman general looks spot on.
Photos have now disappeared, to be replaced by the usual blue and white question mark boxes.
Bit of thread necromancy (apt for fantasy?), but I used the 17/18th century coach (code SYW10), with the standing male figure from code SC13 for the paymaster. Then a few random figures from EL6 and EL8 for the bodyguard.
Some really good ideas - I'd be interested to see the final results. The old Warhammer world had such a wide variety of
inspirations that it gives plenty of scope.
I particularly like the use of Elizabethan figures and reckon they will be a good fit.
My final effort was in this thread:
