Been greatly enjoying my break. So much so that I've been puttering around with my 3D printer attempting to make a new Steam Tank for Age of Sigmar....When an idea occurred to me. And I figured I'd see if it was as amusing to ya'll as it was to me.And I figured I'd also let ya'll know that I'll be back next Friday with the first chapter of book two of Sexy Steampunk Babes.

It yearns for war

Dovahpriest

Ye olde Tachikomas! Definitely would be a terrifying thing to face as an opposing ki wielder

Kaywye

Nice! It makes me think of a steam locomotive with legs and a turret on top. That being said, the turret has a significant part of its arc blocked by the smokestack, which in of itself isn't a problem, but the cannon looks long enough that it cannot spin 360 because of that.

Ryan Belcher

ok now i really understand why people think they are spirit animals

Blue Fishcake

God, do I love the design language of both those universes. Plus Valkyria Chronicles tanks and uniforms for that sweet dieselpunk/magitech vibe!

Lord Dave

Just want to put it out there but I run a print farm of 15 resin printers....

Dankenobi1

took alot of inspiration from foxhole for one of my art projects a couple years back, absolutely love the diesel punk/ww1 concept tank look. Glad to see im not the only one with good taste! XD

Tooshar

Looking forward to book 2, I must say, I've ready your other books, but you've definitely grown as a writer and so far this is the best series yet in my opinion

Phlojem

I don't know why, but I always imagined the Kang Crawlers as more sci-fi, even considering the name of the series

Blue Fishcake

They would be honestly. This was just me working on something else and then deciding to have a bit of fun with it :D Makes for a decent concept/baseline.

Morpheus

That's lower tech looking than my horizon fan ass was expecting. Very 40k

Monday

chuga chuga chuga chuga WOOO WOOOOOOO!

Kurtis S Whittington

inb4 incoming TTRPG adaptations and/or strategic games with collectable, paintable miniatures (a la WarHammer or Napoleanic/CivilWar strat games). Although getting the resolution dialed in for some of those textures and tiny details (rivets, wires) and being able to properly do supports in printing without a lot of after-work for cleanup can be a lot more work than just making a snazzy 3D model. I'm an absolute amateur though, somebody with experience and skill could likely do that kind of configuration and model adjustment no problem.

Dancingrage

I like it. Only thing it is missing is a repeating rifle or machine gun in the turret for anti infantry. The legs make it able to angle the main cannon to a degree, so walking artillery pieces, with the ability to stomp around, literally? Sure, I'll take 2!

kaine

Don't like it. A machine that runs on batteries doesn't need a boiler in any capacity (and if it runs on "conventional" fuel that's still terrible shape for a motor of an armored vehicle). Wooden inserts are stupid and useless, metal would be objectively better (also, you wouldn't want flammable parts on a vehicle that has to go against people that can use fire and other destructive elements willy nilly). Also the decorations. On a tank? And it's not even, y'know, a crest put in a sensible place or anyting, just a useless piece (of precious metal that could be used, idk, maybe to reinforce the turret) that will easily break off once the fighting starts. I love your stories, but this is just bad design. (also, i don't remember you mentioning it having two cannons, but it might just be my memory failing me, either way it's stupid idea, you'd have to have double personnel to man them, two types of ammo an half of the ammo you could normally have with just one gun. Just let the tanks have one main gun and two types of ammo, he and pen) I imagined them looking kinda ike the saxonian empire's walker tanks. Way more streamlined and simple. Which imo would be way more terrifyng and alien to a native. Also i don'tunderstand the scale. The more i think about it, the more i think it's either too big or too small. This thing runs on "conventional" tech, not magic mumbo jumbo, so design it like it is actually built to work. As a last thing i am realizing now. something like this would NEVER survive red death's fire breath as you described it. Sorry if my tone is a rather pissy, but i truly hate this design. (I decided against talking about the legs mechanism lest i have a brain aneurysm, suffice to say, it's rather horrible too)

Blue Fishcake

That's all perfectly fine :D This was just me working on something for AOS, when I realized sticking legs on it would look... somewhat like the Kang Crawler. This isn't the Kang Crawler, just an image I added to the announcement.

Lukas Stone

Are those the legs off of an AT-TE?

kaine

Well, there goes again my tendency to selectively ignore parts of text. Sorry. Some critiqes still remain if it's a AOS tank, mainly the wooden inserts. The classic empire tanks have that shape and are metal plated for a reason. Still a cool model.

Wolf_Senpai

the Kang crawler came in variants. Theoretically this design could be a mashup between the Flame thrower crawler and the normal Tank crawler. Wouldn't require two ammo types as one just uses flammable liquid that could be stored in a tank and would take substantially less space than shells for a cannon. Regardless, the design is cool. Doesn't have to be functional, its a wunderweapon from a fictional story where people throw around magic. Hypothetically this world could contain tree's whose wood is stronger than modern alloys. Or normal wood that is somehow fireproof. Or is structurally on par with iron but is still wood and will not melt or easily burn. Maybe its imbued with frost runes to counter fire spells and keep the crew compartment cool? Its a world of literal magic, space travel, and an armored suit that would make skynet either cream its circuitry or fry itself trying to reverse engineer. Also keep in mind, the person designing said tank, Is from the future, where... either it was space travel or a teleporter malfunction that landed them here?(another similiar story has a similiar trope, easy to get them mixed up a bit and I've binged both) think it was space travel. So a space traveling corporate slave with a magic mumbo jumbo armor suit and a data base specifically designed to AVOID creating weapon systems because... corporate slave. emphasis on slave. And on top of ALLL the rest of it... You are brining mechanized warfare into a world that has no concept of it. A plebian capable of cracking castle walls? unthinkable. A WW2 howitzer would absolutely rock their shit right up until they found where it was. I've got no criticism to offer here. The model looks absolutely fantastic. It's very easy to tell the wordsmith put ALOT of effort into it and it turned out beautiful. It doesn't have to function if you made a real world variant, that's the wonderful thing about fiction. it's fictional.

MarakEvans

Hello Sir Fishcake, Requesting Sect babe teasers to hype and theorize about. Respectfully, Down Bad Reader

kaine

Dood already said it's not the kang crawler, so it's kinda pointless to argue about its viability. I intended to write more to explayn why you are wrong, but i'm way too zooted, therefore i won't. peace

Small Town Games

Sect Book 3 won't be around for a while. Steampunk B2 first, and then I think he said it might be Space B4. Although maybe he'll leave it up to a vote, in which I will be voting Sect.

Floplays

sect has the better worldbuilding but space has simply more to phantasice about

MarakEvans

@SmallTownBo Yeah, that sounds about right. Hmm...

bob semple

When is the next chapter again? This week or the next?

The Fire Piper

I was hoping Friday, but if he said "next Friday" I guess that implies next week. All the sadness 😔

Dankenobi1

we are getting 2 more books of steam punk before moving to at least one mpre book of space babes, then he will most likely move to sect, that is unless he starts a new series as hes prone to do (i love ya blue i know you read these, but please no 4th book for a little while)

Jay

I'm ok waiting another week, I just want to know if it will be today or a weeke from now.

Blue Fishcake

It's next week ya'll :D Sorry if I've not been clear. Last chapter was on the 22nd. Then I had a blissful fourteen days of me doing nothing beyond chilling, editing and then planning the next book. Zero actual writing beyond some plot outlines. Then my break ended. Two days ago. Which was when I started actually working on the next chapter. (And the chapter after that, as I'll be going into surgery on the Friday of next week and don't want the rollout interrupted if I'm feeling shitty immediately after. I was more or less fine last time though and this is just more throat stuff. It was *actually* supposed to coincide with the end of book one, but it got delayed a few weeks.) Either way, next Friday I'll post it up before I get wheeled in. Sorry to those of you checking in hoping I'd have a chapter out immediately and I hope this comment helps.

XavHD

Damn, surgery sounds serious. Good luck

MarakEvans

Reader's withdrawal vs surgery... Yeah, surgery wins.

Dancingrage

Nah, I had figured you were pointing at an extra week with the original post, but confirmation never hurts. Good day and a swift recovery to you after your procedure!

Trevayne

Thanks for keeping us informed. Good stuff like this is always worth waiting for.

Drunk Pop-Tart

No worries, helps with the hype. Hope the operation to install a cyberbionic throat device goes well.

Donovan

when do you think the next chapter will come out?

Donovan

I just wanted to say that I am not trying to rush anyone, and that quality work takes time. I just wanted to know when to log on and check out the next great start to this story.

kaine

dood said next friday, if i'm not wrong

9 o’clock

The tank looks like something from steam punk mixed with Warhammer 40 K

Blue Fishcake

It's funny, you take two weeks off and you start to feel all rusty when you start writing again. With that said, my rested and primed mind has been more than up to the challenge as we're on track for the Friday release :D Really looking forward to this next book. I finally get to delve into the fun stuff I actually started out this series to write. Why did I make this comment? Because I could :P

mike wade

Time skip or no? Because I really want to see the queen have her brain fried by the concept of fire arms and smokeless gun powder .

Drunk Pop-Tart

Hyped. Gonna read it at the usual coffee shop after work.

Andrew Lechner

We know that the last thing William looks up from within George's memory is WW2 fighter engines. He's going to bring the internal combustion engine to this world, revolutionizing ground transport, and more importantly, giving a method to mass produce shards without sacrificing airships cores.

Kaywye

I am waiting with very thinly veiled impatience. I know the tech is gonna be the focus, but I am hoping you will go into the whole "contracted with an otherworldly being of arcane disaster" and what you can and cannot do with that connection. He's using it as a sorcerous Wikipedia...and maybe that's the safest way...but what more could he do with a little less caution an a lot more specificity.

Blue Fishcake

Melt his own brains. Seems the most likely outcome. And while William isn't risk averse... there's jumping into a shark cage - and then there's covering yourself in chum before diving in buck naked.

Kaywye

Good point. Lol

The Fire Piper

Just one more day! Just one day more!

Blue Fishcake

Writing via phone. Just got in from surgery. Feel much shittier than last time. Wanted to make a few final edits to the chapter so it'd line up with some other changes I made to shit later down the line. Figured I'd do it after the surgery. They're small changes after all. Bad plan. Feel like... just had surgery. Will sleep for six hours. Then make edits and post chapter. Plan’s intact, just shifted around a little. Sorry. Thanks. Going to crawl into a corner and die quietly for a while. Will still post Friday... just late Friday. Thanks.

Graves

Rest up

XavHD

Yeah, go to bed longer than 6 hours, Saturday is fine to

Redacted

Dude, sleep.

Blue Fishcake

I AM ALIVE! And beta readers have it :D A nice chunky 5k. Now I just need to stay awake long enough for them to their work... (Painkillers ho!)

Andrew Lechner

It's been an hour. Get it out, then for the love of God, Sleep!
