Steampunk Microscale Army
That's right! I'm doing some microscale stuff that isn't Sci-Fi, per se. I made this fleet in anticipation of a "Mortal Engines"-themed brikwar (I'm gonna be anti-traction league, my friend will have a tractionist force).
Small 2-man scout airships, mainly designed to be cannon fodder.
The command airship, armed with 2 vicious autocannons for shredding airships and small traction towns alike.
Bomber airships.
Fighter airships, with rocket racks for fighting lightly-armored targets.
The centerpiece, a massive Sky-Dreadnought with 4 balloons (so it can level itself easily), 4 autocannons, 1 top-mounted AA gun, and 1 "city-breaker" cannon.
So, what do you guys think?

These are meant to be extremely small-scale, as to have large battles.Ex_Bajir wrote:Nice,could use some more detail though.
Also, the guy I'll be going against will have a tractionist force, so my airships would have to seem small as apposed to his rolling cities.

Probably. It depends on when the battle is.RunsWithLegos wrote:you will get pics of those right?
Also, for those of you who don't know what "Mortal Engines" is, it's a series of books by Philip Reeve that take place in a post-apocalyptic steampunk-ish world where cities are now mobile, and airships rule the skies. Also, if a city needs supplies, it will need to find another city-- and consume it. Very interesting story, and an engrossing and believable world. I would suggest the books very much.

Re: Steampunk Microscale Army
Neato! Can't wait to see the other guy's Traction Towns. Will it be a straight air fleet vs. cities battle, or will he have some airships/heavier-than-air-forces as well?
A Tumbler-Launcher might be a neat addition for later as well.

Re: Steampunk Microscale Army
I'm considering having a tumbler airship, but that would make me green storm, wouldn't it? I should and build me some kamikazes, and possibly a few merc aeroplanes.

Re: Steampunk Microscale Army
*double-post*
Updates!
The new command airship, with 4 autocannons and 3 tumbler bombs. (For those of you who don't know, a tumbler is a bomb with a pilot inside to guide it.)
Two heavy airships with 1 autocannon each, to accompany the old command airship.
So, what do you guys think?

Yeah, those necrons are actually a project I'm doing for my buddy who plays them.RunsWithLegos wrote:Ballin man!

Anyway, thanks!
Re: Steampunk Microscale Army
So Tumbler bombs are Kamikadzes? Anyways, nice ships!

Re: Steampunk Microscale Army
Yeah. One of the main characters in the Mortal Engines series was a tumbler pilot who's bomb failed.
