Spelljammer’s Hammerhead
Slab
The mighty Hammership is here! This beast can host a very large crew and a massive rack of cargo, sporting three elevated rotating weapon mounts, a blunt ram, and even a lovely parasol for sunbathers on the bow!
As with my other Spelljammer ships, the Hammerhead Ship was built to official 5th edition D&D specs, with almost no liberties taken anywhere. One significant change that will likely never upset any Spelljammer fans is the absorption of some of the useless hallways in the cargo deck into the Storage and Stateroom (rooms #16 & #17). The eyes, according to the book, look out, and not really forward—I may redesign them at some point, but they are within the official 3×3 space for now. Should TaleSpire ever add some better swooping metal pieces, I’ll gladly overhaul the “hammer” of the Hammerhead ship so that it has that more sleek, pronounced angles on the saloon and mess hall.
Enjoy! Next up will likely be the Bombard or Turtle ship. If you haven’t seen my other Spelljammer ships, take a look at my profile—I’m working through all the current-edition ships while I’m also overhauling the Spelljammer book for free. A second section includes gobs of DM worldbuilding tools and optional rules, and I’ll continue to update that (and the TaleSpire ships) until there is no point in continuing to do so.
Also credit to Gengus for the idea to use scrolls for “windsock” flags.
Very nice indeed sir
Thanks, Gengus! I took notes from your scroll flags. I haven’t found a better prop to use for “windsock” flags.
Hey I uploaded an edited version of this that I made for use in my Eberron campaign, and linked this in the description, but I’m not sure what protocol is for that. Huge fan of your work, so I figured I reach out to you here.
That’s allright, man, thank you for asking. If you hadn’t asked or linked it might be a different story. 👍
holy moly,,,,just seen your message about your ship the hammer head,,,, the other one is i would say a copy of your work defiantly,,,you should inform the wizard and he should contact the guy and ask him to give you a shout and that you made it,,,,,its happened to me quite a few times too now,,,so i am with you,,,if you would like me to chat with the wizard DM me
I let him know. If he ignores it over the next week, I’ll let the wizard know and report it. Sometimes people just don’t know, especially if they’re young. I was 17 once and dumb on the internet. (And I can still be awful dumb.)
True,,,,it can be a bit disheartening at times,,,but hope it all goes well👍
It’s is such a cool ship I can understand why it was copied
The poster never replied, so I reported both that I saw. Looks like he also lifted Firefly’s work, which I reported as well.
Shame,,,, in the end all that is best is just look forward and keep making cool stuff,,, there’s always one……
