I think it looks great, I am still not convinced about the useability in 28mm, but it tempts me to go into 15mm

Partnered with Rebel and JTFM we're going to have a lot of figures in colonial/vsf for When the Navy Walked! Since Jeff is doing our wonderful designs for our vehicles it allows me to really use his skills! Wait until you see some of WTNW's other designs inspired by the game and by Arsenale Shipworks and The ArmChair General brainstorming up good ideas with JTFM! You guys should check out WTNW if you haven't already. It's a good rule set if I do say so myself even if I did write it.

A lovely imposing piece of hardware!

I'm very tempted to do WTNW in 6mm (just to be awkward)  ::)

28mm is too big to even contemplate. 15mm is better, but would still take up too much space and I'd need to buy too much stuff, so 6mm seems best. Happily I have a large bag of 6mm Franco-Prussian War stuff somewhere, that the seller assured me I'd never use  ( up yours Pat lol ), so that means I'd "only" need lots of steam tanks.

After all the waffle, the relevant part of this post is:  have you any plans to do 6mm as well as 15mm?

If not, oh well never mind,  I do have plenty of plastic card and old 1/300 "modern" ( in 1979) tanks that could serve as the basis of conversions.

impressive!

You could do 2 sets of doors and weapons so that it can be used in 28mm too

if it is to be german, it should have geraniums on the balcony  :D

Could you imagine the Zyklops as the 15mm model in 6mm? It'd be HUGE! WTNW is written for any scale but it works best with 2mm-15mm. If you use 20mm or higher it is recommended to replace 'stands' with 'figures'. As stated previously, we are doing a 28mm skirmish version (see completely different) of the game and later will be doing an RPG as well.

You can combine them too. Say you want a huge battle for a factory. Such a battle can be played in WTNW scale. Then you want to do some combat within the factory using a couple of squads. This can be done using WTNW: Saving the World Before Tea" and then you decide you want to run a game where the players have to get access to a special room where the blueprints are hidden. This can be played in WTNW: Soldiers and Superspies the RPG (working title).

In 6mm it would be something like Moorcock's Land Leviathan  :o

Sounds good to me, but I really want to do some big VSF tank battles, so this is what I'm aiming at with WTNW. I'll probably learn the rules with my 28mm stuff doing skirmishes though  :)

BiggisButticus - That sounds like a plan! Just ignore the rule of one capital unit for every four ground units. As long as the same amount of points and/or combination of points and machines/capital units are represented on each side it shouldn't be a problem!

Too bad you didn't have one at HotLead!
Although, the T-16 would be a priority for me  ;)

Jeff that is massively insanely cool! 8)

And the fact that it'd work OK with 28s will just increase your market (which isn't a bad thing is it?).

I love it.

I wonder how it'd look with 15mm Quar? :D

I might even have some other nifty vehicles done to go along with Rob's great rules  ;)

Cheers

Well, I'm abashed, yet again. Looks awesome, and perfect with the 15mm's.

I'd have to say the density of rivets are perfect, if that's still a question, but if you added more plates and rivets to my taste, it'd probably never get done.  lol
