Battle as Warlords of the Air… in Leviathans!
March 25, 2011 by beerogre
Catalyst Game Labs not only publishes the mech-tastic 25th Anniversary Edition of Battletech and the cyberpunk epic Shadowrun, but they are working on another game... a tabletop battle game... Leviathans!
If any of you are fans of steampunk (I'm guilty as charged) or have read Michael Moorcock's great book Warlords of the Air, you'll be familiar with the concept of flying battleships... and that's what we've got here...
While the game is published and you can buy it on PDF direct from Catalyst Game Labs, they don't yet have a miniatures line to go with the game. However, I'm pleased to report that they are well on their way to solving that problem.
These are some 3D renders of the latest design of Leviathan, due to be part of the forthcoming starter box set.
We at Beasts of War are pretty excited by this game and we hope to get a copy to demonstrate to you guys. When the full copy is released.

I’ve been following this for awhile – since your coverage from Gencon last year. Although you can get the rules as downloads, I’ve keen to get the full experience and want to wait for the full box set. Looks great though.
Oooh ! More shiny !
Reminds me of Last Exile. I’d imagine this might clash a bit with Dystopian Wars, I guess we’ll find out
I played a demo of this last year at GenCon and I enjoyed the heck out of it, and I really like that there are three different rules variations (Ensign, Captain and Commander, I think) so you can start by learning the simple version of the game and then ramp it up as you want. I really wish they would get it out to stores sooner versus later!
They’ve been beaten to the punch by Spartan Games with Dystopian Wars. Steampunk warmachines by the ton in that game.
It looks great I’m looking forward to the miniatures. Is it 1:600 scale?
