The BrikWars Forums

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?

Bad ass!! you must document this.

Nice,could use some more detail though.

These are meant to be extremely small-scale, as to have large battles.

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.

you will get pics of those right?

Probably. It depends on when the battle is.

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.

indeed,it is a very awesome series.

Read it.

Really nice design. Good work

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.

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.

*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?

Ballin man!

and nice Cron's too.

Yeah, those necrons are actually a project I'm doing for my buddy who plays them.
(I really need to take new pictures of my guardsmen)

Anyway, thanks!

So Tumbler bombs are Kamikadzes? Anyways, nice ships!

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