GASLIGHT Leviathans and Goliaths
« on: May 22, 2016, 05:04:29 PM »
Leviathans with a crew of thirty or more are too big for a 25/28mm GASLIGHT game. At that size a Leviathan would be more a piece of terrain than a vehicle. So I am proposing a modification to the rules for very large landships such as..

We never really got into the Leviathans, but agree a midpoint beast is called for. Now, you have to come up with a term for the heavies-but-not-Leviathans.  lol

I'm pretty sure it started life as a Mage Knight Dwarven Steam Behemoth.

I'll leave it up tp Bill, if he cares to, to give specifics of how many changes.

It is a MageKnight Dwarven Steam Tank. I ditched the spike roller, added a couple old style solid metal farm tires from a toy tractor (a damaged 1/16 Farmall I picked up off of Ebay cheap). I smoothed out the bell shaped cannon muzzle, and added a couple gatlings to the front.

Those 1/16 farm tractor models of the era of the solid metal tires make a good source of wheels for large and very large landships (but you have to buy 2 tractors).

such as

I just realized I used a Fordson not a Farmall as sources for wheels.
