Title: wonderland steampunk or vsf
Post by: thomas oliver on March 04, 2011, 01:10:43 PM
ive been thinking of doing a queen of hearts wonderland army but having it also steampunk or vsf

i was thinking of this figure as the queen  http://blackcatbases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=437_651&products_id=2897   gots lots of ideas with the paint scheme

im abit stuck 4 the card soldies like i was thinking bout having them as necron soldiers and having a card on the bk of them looking as if it unfolds like in the looking glass wars http://www.lookingglasswars.com/lgw_videos/lgw_video_fs.html

i also love the idea of what tim burton did with the card soldiers but i cnt find any minitures to create them apart from this sculpt version   http://www.frothersunite.co.uk/files/wk/contest/2004/imag/crdsldr.jpg  i also lyk the idea of it still being a card

the last idea i have is using these knights  http://www.alternative-armies.com/Retained_Knights.htm

so thers my ideas  if any 1 can help us out or advice wud be helpful cheers

There are a couple of companies that make toy/clockwork type soldiers. Those might look good for your card sodiers. I think better than necrons.

That's a great idea for an army.  I would just use some home-made wire dollies with some helmets slapped on top and GS folded in half for the card bodies.  You won't need to be super neat with the wire armatures as the card will hide most of the body.
