This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

My attempt at a medieval catapult. Heavily damaged in this version. What do you think? SA

Depends on if you are going for realistic or gonzo. A lot of Warhammer miniatures where their giant clodhopper feet, surfboard swords, and artillery piece pistols strike me as gonzo/silly. If you are going for that, you are good.

If you are going for realistic, the stone balls wouldn't go anywhere with that short of a lever arm. Maybe look at some historical recreations. Contrast your tile, with this image.

Heya Bren, thanks for the reply. As for the catapult - the mechanics in the sample photo are alterable - its easy to make the deck smaller and the arm longer, for the finished version. These are just samples to illustrate the graphics :)
