Many years ago I saw this conversion of a Macanicus Airship. I have always wanted to do a 40k Airship.

The othere week while sorting out my terrain I decided that I would make my version for the Ironhead Squat Prospecters.

I sorted out my design and selection of unfinished scenery.

The Squat Airship took a couple of weeks coming together very nicely with the little time I could spare on this.

This will be one fitting center piece for the table top during the Necromunda games. Now it is time to paint the Iron Duke!

I just saw someone get this wrong: airships have to have the envelope attached, preferably at many points, directly to the gondola. You can’t hang the whole gondola off the envelope by three masts like a sailing ship: a mast just has to not get ripped out of the deck by the force of the wind, it doesn’t have to keep the entire weight of a gondola from ripping it off.

Also a sail-propelled airship like in many fantasy settings would have the sails mostly on the side, like wings crossed with oars, instead of mostly vertically like a sea ship. Sails out on the side are much simpler for a crew to manipulate than if they have to climb up the sides of the envelope to even reach them.

(It occurs to me just now, if your airship is going to land on water, it probably needs very large outriggers, to hold it upright with the envelope on top of it. Maybe retractable ones?)

Midjourney made these images. I copied and modified the text prompt from another user in the Midjourney community. The artwork is in the style of Peter Mohrbacher whom I did not know until now.

Refusing Blimps

I’m very disappointed to report that I’ve not heard the word dirigible in eons.
