@ Zakopious: Yes I was aware of all three. The last one is from the 1950's movie, which discarded the legs and made the war machines 'walk' on three invisible beams, as I was told once. Yeah, right. They just were too hard to animate and Ray Harryhausen wasn't available, I guess.
The other two are based on the Jeff Wayne version. Stiff and clumsy legs. Not the way Wells described them in his book. They were quick and nimble, like spiders. That's why I chose to make them my way.
And @ Rico: about the war machines in the water, they might have legs that can extend a bit further but this is still very close to the harbour. I just didn't make the river banks. Also, in most estuaries, there are deeper dug fairways for ships to get in and out the rest often is indeed quite shallow. Perhaps the war machines made use of that feature. Who knows? it's SF after all. (-;
