Geartank

Written by Salen

The Geartank is a design based on the heavily armored knight of old. The dwarves thought that if they could make a vehicle with that much armor that it would be formidable on the field of battle. They started with a Gearwheel design and improved the armor, replaced the wheels with larger wheels in the back (some even with tread) and small tread in front, then covered the cabin and back with iron. They all have a large forge that can house coal and a storage compartment for 200 lbs of coal in some of the larger models. The steam driven clockwork gears propel the vehicle across the land at moderate speed, with the treads climbing over most obstacles. Most forges can hold enough coal for a long trip, with larger models holding enough for an extended siege.

Models

There are a variety of different geartanks that the dwarves produced, but most of them are rather karge. The one exception is the TNK7 as they made it small enough for forest attacks. There are geartanks that have just treads, some that have wheels in front, and even some that can go backwards by spinning the cabin around and changing the view of the driver.
