Dystopian Wars madness

[gcflash]

Talking to Chris during our game of Dystopian Wars I asked if he had seen the renders for the mobile airfields, as they truely huge and crazy models. I thought I might share the madness as the last few have now been previewed and each is crazier than the last:

First was the Kingdom of Britania's effort:

Crazy factor 2 (on the DW crazy factor scale)

Next was the Empire of the Blazing Sun's walker:

Crazy factor 3 (well the walker thing was a bit of a given and they had a pagoda on the first walker so this one is just BIGGER!!!)

Crazy Factor 3 (it looks like some sort of mad hot rod tank that someone chopped in half and stuck a landing strip in between. Also note just below the front of the landing strip the facade of 'The chapel of the Alamo Mission')

It kind of plateaued there, but Spartan did not let up with the Covenant of the Antarctica:

Carzy factor 4 (a crazy mechanical, steam powered spider driven by mad scientists from Antarctica, based on alien technology that fires unmanned aerial drones from it's ass!)

And they did not stop there, at Crazy factor 5 we are given the Prussian Empires and I think a picture says a thousand words:

and just in case your imagination can't quite put it together:


Just so you can get an idea of how big these things are, it is 1:1250 scale, the smaller model in the first picture is about 2.5" x 2" x 1" in real life (so in scale it's 260 x 208 x 104 feet) meaning the mobile airfield beside it is about 6" x 5" x 2" (or about 625 x 500 x 208 feet!). And as with all good size comparisons that is a bigger foot print than 4 football pitches and taller than 6 double decker buses stacked 1 on top of each other!

To be a designer for Spartan Games is truly a no holes barred brawl with your imagination.
