I am incredibly proud to announce that my first big written work is now available for pre-order. I've been working with Emerson Tung for over 3 years on breathing life into this setting, trying to do justice to his incredible mechanical artwork. I think we succeeded.

@Norsehound @SofaMods @tankhead_mecha The polished presentation of Tankhead is all down to @emersontung and the editors at Udon, my working style is very much brain dumped on a page.

For those who are interested, there are some really good photos, including detail shots, of the Type 33 model kit in their blog post.

Earde has a long history of airship warfare before the Neverwar, and equally well established anti air defenses. Jetheads had to be nimble enough to avoid these weapons before they could fulfill their full potential as weapons of war.

@Tiber_Zarc @tankhead_mecha @nG9wsaqyie80817 @emersontung We definitely want to, but finding local publishers interested can be a challenge.

Recoil is an issue for all Tankheads, but with artillery types it becomes one of the defining factors. The Wespe stabilizes itself for firing by taking on a peculiar squatting pose, resting on its haunches and the stabilizers in its rear skirt.

I'm surprised I've never commennted on it before, but I absolutely adore @emersontung's Tankhead designs :)

Egg Tankettes are best tankettes!

Every time a new kind of creature is added to the Hive, there's a new challenge. How to make them all look different, but all fitting into the same species?

Punchy is finally here.
Finished him close to 2 years now and got him photographed at last. I love its colour scheme, especilly how the white cuts through the orange.

One of the really cool ideas that @TimPopelier pitched to me while we worked on the book. The process of bouncing ideas off of one another is why I love the collaborative process in creating art.

Reginwald LT17 with Desert Camo

While tankheads outperformed regular tanks nearly everywhere, their height made them easy pickings in the Alcabani deserts. Even the venerable LT17 with its low profile could perform effective hit and run strikes on enemy tankheads.

Just got the deluxe Tankhead encyclopedia in the mail, masterfully illustrated by the breathtakingly talented @emersontung and captivating lore by @TimPopelier. Definitely one of my favorite purchases in a long while.

Here are some of my favorites in the whole book.

@Recepozdmr_1881 @Bargas_treanty @TheCountofS I don't think it has ever really been addressed. We get some indexes of their weapons in the hard graph sets IIRC, but nothing on body armor that I recall.
