Notice the beetle armored fighting vehicle I posted up thread? Someone on my G+ community suggested this might make an excellent Spelljammer ship, so inspired by that this is what I created this weekend...
The Gnollean Scarab Spelljammer Ship:
Crew deck (top to bottom, left to right
): captain's bridge, captain's quarters, engineer's quarters. 2 Junior officers quarters for two (navigator, surgeon, gunnery and troop commanders), mustering hall (used for training, briefings, formations, etc.), armory, sick bay, barracks 1, galley/kitchen, barracks 2, latrine, and cargo bay.
Flight deck (top to bottom, left to right): forward ballista turret, brig cell 1, brig cell 2, flight operations center, flight and gun deck (ballistas on turret base), cargo bay door.
View with carapace open exposing the flight/gun deck.
View with
carapace closed. Forward ballista turret can be seen.
That's it.
Oh the Gnolleans are an advanced imperial civilization of gnolls that have achieved spelljamming technology and seek to conquer the neighboring crystal spheres in their sector of Arcane Space. (A minor race trying to become a major one).
This ship walks on the surface of crystal spheres and is of the largest spelljamming ships (300 tons), the scout beetle vessels are not armed except for the pincers on front, but these can fly and walk as well. And after firing its weapons, for shipboard actions, this vessel is capable of grappling an opposing ship bring its pincers to bear and make for Gnollean warriors easily getting aboard the enemy vessel. These guys are an up-in-coming threat to be recognized among the other spelljamming nations.
Enjoy!
