Spelljammer’s Bombard
Slab
The big fat giff Bombard, shooting its big fat 1-ton cannonballs. The cannonballs are so dadgum big, you need a winch to load them on the ship. The cannon itself is so unbelievably big that the whole ship is custom-built around it.
On the whole, this was a pretty fun build, and extremely accurate to the 5e specs, except in two cases: the top deck has an extra tile all around, but it was a choice between making it look swoopy & pretty, or “accurate”—and, to be honest, the official walls are so thin (and some of the doors are much thinner than 5 ft.), and the TaleSpire walls are so thick, so I don’t think anyone should mind. One other liberty was taken with the helm since, like the Squid and Galleon, it’s supposed to be enclosed in a room, which makes no sense. So here, I put it up on the upper deck, and turned the helm room into a conference room. Canonically, the front half of the upper deck is not supposed to have railings, but it looked extremely barren without them. Also includes a toilet with a poop chute. The dragon-hippo head on the front might also be extracted for use as a cave entrance or creature, if you fancy.
Hope your players love it!
This is an incredible build! The cannon looks so good.
Thanks! I think it’s my best build to date. There are more tweaks to make but I don’t want to be myopic about builds. I still have the Nightspider and Star Moth to create, and those will be nightmares.
Great work BUT, I hope you’re willing to redo all of them when Bouncyrock hopefully releases some real Spelljammer assets.
You are probably kidding, but I would.
Yeah this thing looks amazing! I wanna fire that cannon!
Truly awesome
Thanks OceanMan, it’s one of my favorites!
