Vik, thats sneaky, your army comes from a hatch in the ground? :O

Capitan von Neuffhauser stared in bafflement at the empty plain.
'Intelligence shows those damned Viktorians were here this morning. Two battalions at least. '
'This is most peculiar' added Commissar Harmann. 'We should return and see what the intelligence korps really has in the way of intelligemce.'
'Well it is obvious they are not here. Hailer, signal move out. We return to Versteen.'

There was the sound of a thousand hatches being flung open....



Yeah, I don't think the cotton wool will cut it. Doesn't need to be flock specifically, sand maybe, just something to add the smoke texture. GS maybe, but that might get heavy. You could try on the flame as is, but it didn't look like it held a lot of texture.

That's an awesome haul you won Vik! All hail the mighty Dave, benefactor of many future projects!

Vik for finish the blast off dry brush red on the entire base lightly so it adds a shade, then dry brush yellow in a smaller ring on the base shading should mix and then very faintly dry brush white right under the focol point of the ufo. This will sell your blast off effect. And perhaps less black.

Try Steel wool. instead of cotton.

i will try out your ideas mates... i had quite a lot of work to be done the last coupla days so everything else...even family life got pushed aside... much to my discomfort...

hopefully i get everything back on track again... including hobby life and talking with ye lots!!!

cheers, vik

didnt know if you saw this vik, seems right up your alley http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/473845.page#4738669

thank you RW!!! i´ve been waiting for that thread quite a long time now... saw his stuff on the homepage long ago... most excellent!!!

Haha lol, guess who asked him to start that thread? His stuff is great, makes me want to buld something steampunky myself!

yeah well i did^^ i wrote a PM to him as soon as i saw his sentinels and his steampunk footsloggers...

lol i did too... he said he was asked a few times before, I figured you had been among them....

lol... yep.... i still think it is funny to upload your stuff here on the gallery and not open up a thread... kinda a waste of appereance to me^^... thankfully he changed his mind^^

@Dave, sure man, just have him pm me for address.

@Vik, seems your Viktorians are not the only steampunk army

yes... a coupla other armies are out there... we live in the post modern world... anything goes as everything was there already^^

Steampunk is everywhere! I am excited about the upcoming game "Dishonored"- it looks to be a steampunk/ fallout/horror crossover game.

Yeah, Dishonoured got some serious talents behind the scenes, really great team. I bet we all will find some ideas for our hobby there

i saw that trailer some time earlier... got some intersting stylish features...

Seems a game to look forward to

YES I just saw that while picking up a random mag to read.. on the throne... and the game looks really cool, love his 40k style mask too

It is the only game of late that I thought wow I want that, I just hope it lives up to its promise

As long as it isn't like Rage...it was an ok game, beautiful game, but I'm glad it didn't last longer, 3 times repeating the same stuff got really old, too many invisible walls, too much racing IMHO. My least favorite Bethesda title.

Totally agree with you Dave, never made it through myself. A sad waste of great visual style :( just got my hands on an other post apocalyptic title - I am alive. Seems like a fresh bit of realistic survival game in a post catastrophic world.

Bioshock 2 is awesome, simply because you have a Rivet Gun and three different types of rivet ammo!

Ah, rivet gun,,,,our patron saint of the League,,,Rosie the Riveter!

Maelee the Mechanic looks like a good base for Rosie

maelee looks good enough to eat !!!

i need to do some serious thinking now... that mini would be a nice addition for my collection...

Bioshock 2 is a terrible terrible game with no redeeming features what so ever... due largely because it was palmed off on another development company... thankfully Bioshock infinity sees the game go back to the original developers, as well as an American Civil war theme with airships.

Although Bioshock wasnt my favorite game of all time, I have no problem considering it the best game of all time, that art style.. omg... I loved it so

plus when you had to get a bottle of big daddy musk and walk around in the suit!

Very true... it's just the second one left me feeling cold... and I'm not the only one either, there's a lot of people out there who hate No.2

about the steampunk vik if you want small steampunk like engines on your guardsmen why don't you try out the ork wepon frame? there chaine swords have tine engines on the with smoke stacks.
