Falkereich Siege Workshop

Similar in style yes, but the two ballistae are tad too much alike, saved mostly by the size difference I guess.

Yeah, the main difference with the ballista and the trebuchet(?) here is the size
I'll later check if the differences are more noticable while playing around

Guess they are both long and slim and have a long thing in the middle as well as two griffon cheeks in front.

My current two ideas are
1- Try making the ballista shorter and wider
2- Change up the front shields

Trebuchets usually need proper stability to keep the weight from dragging backwards and then stop the forward force when shooting.
Ballistae only need to worry about the shooting part but yes, I guess a bow/crossbow has to be wide for proper arrow/bolt propelling and wood arms flexibility, although on the model the archery machinery goes beyond the platform walls which could pose a danger to troops nearby risking to get slapped by the recoil.

Le funny fantasy siege engine
"archery machinery goes beyond the platform walls" What could be a nice but not excruciating way to fix this?
Please note that it takes me 13 work days to give a model a hat without it corrupting the files of my city

Not entirely sure since the Trebuchet seems wide as well, so widening the wooden hull of the ballistae wouldn't be that a good idea. On the other hand maybe play with the wheels. Currently all of these mobile siege weapons are 6 legged spiders.

I'll play around a bit with the model after I get home from work
Thanks for the feedback!
