Ok, i am super slow, but unstoppable! )

there is Antheus MK-W, medium republican steamwalker



I converted him from other scratchbuild "Marbrand" , which was for my taste too fat and static. Compare:



hope you like it )

Next work will be about steam orks ))

Awesome build! The weathering and paint is fantastic, as well as the base, which is done perfectly. Once again, I'm in awe. ...but you mentioned steam orks, yes?

I always love the look of stuff like this, be it from mortal engines or any other universe. I love your work.

Thanks! Although steampunk orks are not so different from space ones )

Oh wow, everything about this is just simply amazing. I can't wait to see more of it.

Finally an update! It looks amazing, I especially love the base of the first one!

Beautiful work octavius. Cleaner and tighter than the old version. Love the base too, with the gears strewn about and the commander there for size comparison. Really adds to the overall effect.

Thanks
It was real fun to convert/paint, although too much time for one concept )

I see I'm not the only Vakyria Chronicles fan out there.



Your work is excellent sir. Your infantryman is stunning, I love the asymetrical armored arm and the pose.

As a lover of steampunk and dieselpunk myself, this is wicked-cool. Keep it up!

Uhm... wow
you should cast these!

Do you meen the tank looks a bit like the Vakyria tanks? I didn't even notice intill i looked back.

A bit? It IS one of the Imperial Tanks. That's what makes it so awesome! There might be more than a passing resemblance of the Imperial Troopers too.

I mean, spot on, perfect, badass, I'd give all my money for it. So much clankier than the Edelweiss... but that was a cool tank too.



I'd kill to see octavus have a go at some of their other gear.

Thanks guys, I exactly took this tank model from Valkyria art. It is extremely steampunkish

Yeah, it's a beautiful game. You truly did that vehicle justice.

Yup. minus the sisters of battle thingy, its the same tank. I loved that series.

some amazing work in here , love that you have worked out the history of your minis makes them seem lived.

Absolutely amazing work. You seriously need to consider teaming with a rules designer and creating a stand alone game for your figures. I whole-heartedly support the Kickstarter route to get things off the ground. There are several gaming Kickstarters shown here on Dakka that are raising some serious money:

If you could get a decent concept together for the background, game, etc. I'd be happy to invest at least $100 in a Kickstarter. I'm sure I'm not alone here, either. There are plenty of folks around here who could point you in the right direction on the mass production front, so you can get a realistic financial goal that would need to be met.

Thanks guys
It i really serious decision to think through - my medical residency however just eats a lot of time and leave you exhausted .
But I am a big fan of modeling - it is sad then job and hobby are so distant (

Love your blog, dude. I'm a big fan of steampunk and you carry it off really well.

Wow, fantastic work, both the design and execution are truly inspiring. You are one seriously talented hobbyist. Can't wait to see more.

Epic work!
I was thinking about doing something like this but in Wh40k but i dont really have any money to spend on models now.

Lets continue with steampunk orks -who, you will be surprised are pretty much like disel punk/space orks.Really -find 10 different details :



based on this model:

I'm glad you're updating and still with this project.
I look forward to see some more of your Steampunk Orks, but also hope you continue with the Imperial troops too.
Cheers
Klaus

So, -continue -lets put some details symbolizing ork love for order ))




Primary crasher just made from plastic, then edges just sculpted. Alo -some gogs representing steampunk ))

Nice tank so far! Good luck with your project!

Glad your back with this. The tanks looking good so far.

All I can say is fantastic, I was planning on doing some steampunk models for my necromundia gang, could you give any advice, thank you (:

Thanks guys - continuation is following
That will be a general answer but try to first look/read about steampunk basis -probably wiki article -it has lot of links, then see what will be style closer to your ideas.
