Steampunk Siege Tanks – From War Machine to Mobile Home! (Also my Birthday!)

Hii everyone!!

As part of the [latest poll](https://www.patreon.com/posts/demo-for-guide-102762428?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link), I decided to expand on the **Steampunk Tanks** I created last year — and it just so happens that this post goes live on my birthday!! You can find the full map collection [for free here at my Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/posts/99396289).

With the discovery of new ways to harness energy and magic in your world, brilliant minds have been hard at work crafting a powerful new generation of war machines. Designed to overrun shield and sword alike, these vehicles may still be somewhat primitive compared to the mightiest spells, but they represent some of the most formidable technological threats your setting can offer. These tanks and APCs stand as true challenges for any army that dares to face them.



This map pack includes **four different military tank variants**: two combat-focused models and two transport-oriented versions.

It also features a special addition: **the restoration of one of these tanks into a portable home!!**

Your players may come across the abandoned carcass of one such machine, its engine partially intact but buried beneath a thick layer of dust. It appears to be an old heavy model that took a devastating hit to its cannon and suffered additional damage to its control systems. It has been looted, leaving behind only scraps, broken components, and a crude attempt to reignite the engine using improvised sticks, levers, and an old helm.

**With some repairs** — whether by hiring an expert or adapting it themselves — the tank can be transformed into a mobile base for the party.

**With further time, effort, and investment**, it can evolve into a proper traveling home, filled with detailed interiors and even an additional floor, turning it into a fully functional house on wheels.

These tanks are **sturdy enough to crush small trees and powerful enough to traverse most terrain changes** (within reasonable limits). They are equipped with a rear winch capable of lifting up to five tons — enough to pull the tank out of difficult situations. Some versions include a small boat attached to the winch, which can be detached using a lever located near the lower engine (Level 0).



All of these vehicles and their mechanics will be integrated into an upcoming expansion of [**William O'Law's Guide to Crafting and Equipment Overhauling**](https://www.patreon.com/posts/guide-to-current-150048507?source=storefront), includeng its next [demo](https://www.patreon.com/posts/demo-for-guide-102762428?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link).

This expansion will introduce the *Fabricator*, an add-on to the Blacksmith class that allows previously crafted items to be reproduced in shorter timeframes. It will also debut a new Prestige Class: **The Sieger**, accompanied by a firearms add-on and a full siege weaponry and mechanics system, with tanks becoming one of the ultimate features accessible to new class.



I’ve kept the logo as unobtrusive as possible so you can easily remove it if you prefer <3. However, the best way to support my work is by becoming a **Chronomancer Patron** or purchasing the [Non-Watermark version](https://www.patreon.com/posts/guide-to-current-150048507?source=storefront), which is currently on sale at the time of release.

I also tried to keep the lighting as neutral as possible, **but if there’s enough interest, I can work on day/night cycle versions for all of them.**

I truly hope you enjoy this set as much as I enjoyed creating it. The original tank was one of the very first maps I ever made, and this collection feels like a love letter to my younger map-maker self.

Love you all, and see you in Monday’s news!! <3
