I am not familiar with Bioshock myself, but I am sure you could pull it off. I am working on "zombie aeons" myself and in the mean time thinking of Dark age and sci-fi adaptions lol

Hummus, get out of my mind...lol. I have thought this very same thing just the other day. There is a thread on the forum here that had a company that makes figs that could be used as Big Daddies. Will have to search again and post it here.

Recreational Conflict is the company. Here is a link to a pic:

They make a 15mm and 35mm suit.

Cool idea and cool not-Big Daddies! I always thought that Hans the Hunter from Incursion would also make a nice not-Big Daddy (http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=188_190&products_id=1495). Or what about the miniatures from Antimatter Games? Their DeepWars Fortune Hunter faction would also work great and would also bring a lot of variation (http://antimatter-games.com/products-page/miniatures/deepwars/fortune_hunters/#store).

I think Strange Aeons is easily adaptable for ANY genre with a little thought.
The mechanics are not time-specific, just the weapon tables.
Easy enough to make your own, just be careful not to alter the balance that is inherent in the system.

I am working on "zombie aeons" myself and in the mean time thinking of Dark age and sci-fi adaptions lol

I will be using them for Pulp gaming, Star Wars skirmishing and I know Legionnaire Bert has already written an Inquisitor (40K) version.
Go for it!

Wargamers really seem to love the Fallout's 1950s design, but Bioshock gets no love.
So it would be a unique project and interesting to see.

At the bottom of the page you can find a file of concept art and the orchestral score for Bioshock.

Could be useful to provide inspiration and a soundtrack to your games.

I will follow this with interest!

If you google Malifaux/Bioshock you'll find a custom Bioshock themed crew that some fella' posted on the Wyrd boards. It was awesome! Of course now we also have Infinite....
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.
