Title: Britain rallies - More mechanical wonders!
Post by: Malamute on 13 October 2008, 08:40:25 AM
In answer to the advancement in Prussian technology, Britain has forged ahead in the arms race.

The "Lowen" Steam tank HMLS Picton. Armed with medium gun straight from the Ironclad factory. A hulk of a vehicle, very thick armour designed to stop Krupp Gun shells of the Prussians but slow moving.

The new Faraday lightening cannon designed to knock out armour. It delivers a massive concentrated charge of lightening.

Finally, perhaps Her Majesty's(Gaud Bless 'Er) finest Aeroscaph HMAS Ariadne.   Developed using the latest gravity defying technologies. Unfortunately the sourse will remain a secret until after the war.

Prussia will be defeated - Hurrah!!!

The tank is from Ironclad miniatures, the lightening cannons are GW Warhammer 40KOrc Zap guns and the ship is Parroom Station miniatures.

Aaargh, you beat me to it!  lol

I have an old oop "zapp gun" on my table, waiting to be painted as a "lightning cannon" - I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they are perfect VSF weapons.

Great stuff, that lot will give those Prussians something to think about as they munch their Bockwursts and gulp down their Schnapps!  ;)

Aye, that's excellent stuff!  8) 8) 8)

Those ork weapons have a nice VSF touch. Good use!

What basing material have you used to prevent your Aeroscaph from tipping over?

Excellent work Malamute. I'm looking forward to having aerial dogfights wothour flyers (if I don't shoot yours down first with my AA tank).

Awesome paintjobs, I wish I could paint my steam tanks half as well as that.

Hmmm, I think I may have a zapp gun or two lying around somewhere...

That steam tank is excellent.  The wood effect on the deck of the Aeroscaph is very nice, also.   The colors are just right for weathered wood.

We all need to contribute something! I have some ideas in mind, but no time yet. As soon as I finish my first postgraduate paper -in a month or so- I will send sopme few reinforcements.

How did I miss these?  There great.  mi will have to steal the idea with the artillery  ;D

Me too, Since I am not familiar with all this WK40, is it still available? Can you provide some link??

Wow, more great stuff.  Looks like the Brits are winning the arms race.  The Prussians can only field one new SPAAA while the Brits have a new tank, electric cannon AND an air boat thingy.

Ahh yes, a massive battle will take place next week... The battle for Kew... Prussia after a number of victories has pushed the British forces back to the outskirts of London. One more decisive win and the Prussians will be in capital :(

For the Lightening cannon look at the GW Warhammer 40K range of Space Orcz, look up ZZap gun. I have been trying to post a link, but here is a problemw itht e GW site this morning.
