Title: Steam punk
Post by: jchaos79 on 21 November 2014, 05:10:41 PM
recently I bought in her majesty's name, and it is really cool,

Is there any interest for generic steam punk figures?

Oooooh...Is that who it is ?
I liked it when you could fold a tenner in a certain way and get an almost perfect image of John (YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS) McEnroe.

Well, now, there's a post well and truly strangled in the cradle!

An excellent idea. I would be very interested in steam punk figures. Colonial British / Prussians in re-breathers. Flying men. Steam tank contraptions.

I think 10mm would be great for vehicles and contraptions, but I do like the 28mm figures.

A 10mm Nautilus type sub would work well though, I feel myself being tempted  :)

There is a 10mm steam punk game - with martian tripods and the like.

Not sure about 10mm for IHMN - its pretty small scale, with gangs of 5 to 15 figures.

Are you talking about Troublemaker games?

No - the one I'm thinking of has a more WWI look to the tanks - but with steam stacks. It was a kickstarter?

I'm completely confusing my-self!! Which seems to be a theme tonight.

Troublemaker is the 10mm Steampunk ranges - its just that their homepage shows lots of their new 6mm stuff, which confused me.

The martian kickstarter is All Quiet on the Martian Front, but it is 15mm.

From what I have seen on their webpage Troublemaker seem to be Kick starting nothing but their 6mm ranges which seem to look very like Epic 40K stuff

Troublemaker have Timeline 300 ruleset with three 10mm ranges: british, german and martians.
Also have a 10mm range of generic sci fi (GW uncover), goblins + human (discontinued)
At last Abomination a spin off of one of the brothers who make Troublemaker did some 10mm ogres for fantasy (in my opinioin is like a trick because they are 15mm figures)

But troublemaker and abomination seem to see the market of proxy epic more valuable than proxi warmaster so they stop they releases of 10mm and are focus in 6mm epic uncover.


Said that , How many of you, gentelmen, lift your hand to vote for steam punk figures?


- Here is my vote: yes


Just a handful of steam punk character figures could combine with regular civilians and XIX century figures now available. So little effort maximum gain.

I would be interested.

Some figures would be nice, especially some gentlemen adventurer types

For tanks etc I wonder if it would be cheaper for Pendraken to make conversion kits for some of their existing WW1 and interwar vehicles

This seems like a good idea, and the whole steampunk thing definately gets my vote.
