Goblin Siege Ship

[Blufiji]

Goblins aren't the biggest or the strongest of the denizens in Nocturnus, but their ingenuity is matched only by a few of the peoples in the east. Various war machines and have been deployed across the dark lands in preparation of war, the newest being the Goblin Siege Boat. Covered in wood, save for a few oar and firing slots, this ship can deliver up to 10 warriors to most anywhere through out the swamp. It's light enough to propelled by one oarsman, but strong enough to deflect or absorb arrows and spears. Inside there are various supplies, including ladders, pitch for fire arrows and bombs, axes and saws for constructing a temporary battlefield outpost. This particular vessel is on a mission to hunt down a certain necromancer...

Wow!  Really neat little ship, the curved roof is ingenious, and the clips on the end fit in superbly!   You sure managed to pack a lot in their as well, and the hulls curves are very well done!  Excellent mangrove tree and swamp too, and the light on the boat is really neat - although I admit I'm a tad baffled as to why there is one lit at both the front and back (maybe to deceive the enemy as to which way it might be going?  )  Great job overall, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of action it will bring to that upcoming fight!

The boat is fun and cleverly put together, Blufiji! However, the swamp is my favorite part, since you are a swamp landscape master; the mangrove tree is the best, and the dark green color fits it extraordinarily well. I'm not sure I like the bright green of the plants, however, as it is a bit jarring next to the dark green and olive green. It still looks good, though. Well done!

Both ends are lit in case archers want or need to fire flaming arrows from either end. The boat can go been rowed forwards or backwards due to the set up. I really tried to make this one have alot of playability potential. Thanks Garmadon!

Thanks! i wanted to add just a bit of color to all of that dark green, though olive green grass would've worked better here in retrospect!

Another awesome piece of art from you! I love the fact that it's covered, and all the supplies under the cover... This has indeed a lot of playabilitt

[Gunman]

Really neat boat design mate :) small and nicely curved. 

[Littleworlds]

Looks very good! The inferior looks very busy and as you would expect such a boat would look like. Perfect! 

As for the outside, I might have given it some metal strips as reinforcement and to break up the uniform look of the hull. All in all though a really cool idea and design!  

[Kai NRG]

Really nice ship, very unique and the little bit of swamp you've included looks great!  As Garmadon said the curves are very well done, especially the roof curve!

[Legofin2012]

Amazing shaping on this! I can imagine an small army of them rowing up swamp to invade a keep by surprise! Although I kinda have to agree with Littleworlds about the metal strips, or even dark brown, but that aside a fantastic little vessel!

Very fitting boat for a goblin crew, and the swamp setting is superb It's great that you can actually fit figs and their supplies inside!

Thanks LW. You really have no idea how bad I wanted to add the spikes like a Korean Turtle Ship, but not enough spikes and time.

Thanks LF. Again, referencing LW..those spikes man.

I took a page out of your book and made a working interior. Thanks SK!

Nice little boat, it looks quite nice in the swamp setting. The tree looks great, those roots are cool. Maybe make the lily pads in clumps, it would look a bit more natural.

[Lord Vladivus]

That boat is cool! I love your swamp stuff!

[Ecclesiastes]

Nicely done, I really like the shape of it!

[dathil]

Beautiful boat! I like that roof a lot, the curve in it is really smart

[MassEditor]

This is too cool, we don't see enough of this style of vessels but Nocturnus is the perfect place to see them! Ingenious design, the curved top looks awesome. Fantastic looking swamp as always.

Thanks LDB and you are spot on, that was just negligence in the lily pads.

With all of our swamp land, we probably should have the most diverse navy, lots of shallow draft boats and rafts and such. Thanks ME!
