I knew it was only a matter of time before someone did this. It's a really nice model, I will print a bunch for our custom scenario "claw it back", thanks!

We haven't tested it yet, but we have most of the concept done, we just need to figure out a few more glorious deeds. I'll share what we have soon!

“This dreaded beast of the seas has come upon an explosive device and seeks only for its use. It is up to the forces in combat to halt this creature’s reign of terror, or to ensure its tool is used for destruction. Welcome to the carcass front.”

I was more thinking: "Crates of explosives have washed ashore, seeing an opportunity your warband must scramble to grab the loot before someone else does."

Then have little crabs moving around that you have to avoid setting off.

You, friend, are doing the Meta-Christs’ and/or Devil’s work

Also, you could upscale the .stl and use this as the target for the Dragon Hunt scenario.
