Blitzkrieg of Windhelm

Description

Archer scowled at the stark, looming figure out in the distance, shrouded in the bleak darkness of night — Windhelm, the final bastion of the Stormcloaks, and fortress of the Bear himself, Ulfric. Just looking at the dour northern city brought back painful memories of his last visit — namely, how he and Lydia were nearly lynched by a mob of xenophobic townspeople, for being seen together in a way that Stormcloak law deemed... inappropriate

Last time I was in Windhelm, I left nearly a broken man, with my life and my love's both taken from us, Archer thought. Now, I return as its conqueror — with a new weapon in tow, just for them.

With an engine that growled like a beast's, armor that could stop any arrow, and an arcanocannon with an 88mm bore that could topple a bastion in a single shot, the highly sophisticated Dwemer war machine he drove was truly a fearsome construct. Even now, he could hear it growl lowly, like a hunting hound that'd caught the scent of blood in the wind. He had found the armored beast in an abandoned Dwarven military base, with a single inscription scrawled onto its side — Panzerkampfwagen 181 - Daedroth. It would be the weapon that would singlehandedly take Windhelm, and finally topple the Stormcloaks.

After adjusting the Dwemer peaked hat he wore, the Argonian pointed his control baton at the city. "Advance."

The machine complied with a growl as its engine fired up, and the treads began moving. As the lethal machine crawled towards the city, shattering the cobblestone street under its immense weight, one thought crossed Archer's mind: Thank goodness that the Dwemer exist — if not, this thing couldn't be more lore-unfriendly.

Finally returned from college, popped back into Skyrim for the first time since Thanksgiving, and what's the first thing I do? Announce my return by making Archer drive a Dwemer-steampunk Tiger tank. Oh yeah, you know things are going to get exciting this month. I've got a short comic arc planned, so when I finally finish writing up the outline, then I'll start working on it!

How much I wish the tank was a mod for the Xbox One edition of SSE. Those Thalmor would get what's coming to them then. *Shakes an angry fist* Your comics never fail to make me cry tears of laughter.
