Moving thread from old forum to here.
The current campaign I am running is a high magic world similar to Eberron. The players will soon acquire a horseless wagon. Decided to make a miniature for it.
Its made out of legos, travel size chess pieces, craft sticks, and styrene card for the roof.
I'm not really sure. I think its just a design choice for the world. I've never seen how the vehicles even move, they are always shown stationary in media. Not sure if they are powered by the back wheel and the legs just stabilize and steer or if the legs pull and the wheel just rolls.
Lore wise, in Eberron most forms of magic transportation are powered by bound elementals. In the one wheeled version of the wagons there's a ring around the back tire that may be a bound elemental ring similar to ones that power Eberron Airships. I'm currently trying to figure out a good way to add one to my mini. There's a 5 wheeled version where you can see air elementals bound in the tires.
Here's a pic of 2 variants of eberron wagons from the Dungeons and Dragons online game. A cart similar to the wagon I made and a 5 wheeled heavy duty version.

After a night to sleep on it I decided I was unhappy with the wagon's canvas so I decided to redo it to give it some color and shape. Also added an elemental ring around the rear wheels using paper clips. I've left the middle green canvas plain for now in case the players come up with a symbol they want to put on the wagon.

Ok, I admit the lack of knowledge of Eberron, so maybe this is a dumb question but; why only two wheels? Why not four and still have robotic legs to push/pull the wagon?Lore wise, in Eberron most forms of magic transportation are powered by bound elementals.

I haven't given the wagon stats yet but my plan is to give it a Ram ability and 2 claw attacks from the front legs while its being piloted. GOing to use the Pathfinder vehicular combat rules from Ultimate Combat for it.
Cheers!
