Okay, so one of my favorite indie ttrpgs, flying circus just released an expansion recently.
This got me thinking about that post I made where I said what planes the undersiders would fly if they were flying circus characters, and that got me thinking about the Slaughterhouse nine and what they would be in this universe.
With the new expansion, Chariots of Steel we no longer need to wonder. They are ground pounders, able to launch attacks on aerodromes and towns alike that their air militia and any circus pilots might find hard to handle.
Mannequin obviously has a squad of clockworks, heavy armor and the skirmisher mastery, so he can pull his classic moves of creeping around vents and having an uncanny valley vibe
Shatterbird has a Flaktraktor and the fire section mastery, preventing their victims from scrambling a proper defence and generally filling the air with projectiles.
Burnscar has a squad with carbines and landflammenwerfers and the shock trooper mastery. She can plink away at you from a decent distance, but y the time you start fighting back she is already in your face and commiting war crimes.
Crawler has a Drakentoter, the biggest tank in the game, heavily armed and with heavy armor
Cherish has a Nashorn, an artillery vehicle that can reach out and touch you anywhere in the city
Siberian has an SRW gletsher, which plows through walls like they aren't even there.
Bonesaw drives a Mannschaftwagon with the driver mastery and a few clockworks kitted for capture.
If things go south on any given raid she can use those prisoners as hostages to ensure the nine get a clean getaway and of course she's a medic so if you want to injure one of the nine you had better make it hurt, you better kill them in one shot because otherwise bonesaw can just patch them up good as new.
Jack Slash has a Feldmaus, a slippery light tank that struggles to deal with infantry
And because I felt bad for leaving her out of my last post,
Green Eyes drives a Fischtraktor, an extra spooky submersible tank that's hard to keep down. She offers to let Blake and Evan be her gunner and loader, but since it achieves submersible status by filling entirely with water they haven't taken her up on the offer yet.
