Aerial Doings

[leadfool]

I have this weird idea of a small zeppelin controlled by a Babbage engine with an arc generator, shooting Pathans.  it would take orders via a heliograph.  call it something like a steam drone.  the prototype would be named HMSD Obama.

Let's not muddy things with modern politics. I'm sure there are period politicians and soldiers we can use.

Like that Prussian concept of Aerial Bombardment such an idea would be considered barbaric by Her Majesty's Government    No civilised nation would stoop to such a diabolic scheme!

Very pretty but definitely Pulp/Dieselpunk rather than VSF methinks.

[vsfguthroth]

Agreed. And it's out of scale. Either the gun is too big or the bag too small.

Agreed. And it's out of scale. Either the gun is too big or the bag too small.

Edit:  The bag is really  a polyhedral box.

The box is made of liftwood and the contents are ballast, not hydrogen?

Edit:  The ballast consists of the rare metal "Varium" that temporarily gains mass/weight when electricity is applied.

The deck plan of such a craft might be a skirmish arena, but I'm more interested in the 'fluff' in this area.

Both of those aspects would be very interesting, especially the latter.

Whereas I'm more interested in the former; nice tight quarters for a mixup.

Honestly we haven't put too much extra fluff out there as we wanted people to not feel constrained by it.

Frankly, I thank you for that. Yet to see paint, I've still several GW Birdmen of Catrazza for Hanoverian light drop truppen, and a Hallmark Nautilus that still dreams of being a totally insane armored dig.

Still planning same for a nice big G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. dust up, but could add interesting color to the intrigue of an IHMN game. I like the breathing room to add them as I will.  

As for the Gun Dig, I don't see a gas bag, I see a rocket...

I'm with Craig on the Pulp sense.

How big is this item?

Could it be a drone in 28 mm but a small RPV in 15 mm and a portable heavy artillery piece in 6 mm?

With the gun removed it could be an aerial torpedo.

Either way, seeing it, I can't help but envision a shark's grin.

The Flying Tiger's Aerial Torpedo Company produces them?  (Just add stripes)

No idea sorry. I cut the pic out of their kickstarter images.

I will have to wait and see...  Not a lot of money right now, anyway.
