It's the red eyes that set them apart.

'It's the red eyes that set them apart from humanity, that and their stiff, calculated and predatory gait! these automata have a purpose that will ultimately lead to darkness! I will have no more to do with them'.
An Army chaplain commenting on the unveiling of the British Empires latest wonder weapon.

Steam Automatons from Ironclad Miniatures. Initially I was going to attempt painting NMM. Lack of reference (which I have now found) and my own poor skills have not let me down too badly. The bases need finishing and paint needs touching up but they are 'done'.



I shall be ordering some more of these fellows which I shall attempt a better paint job on. I am also on the look out for engineer types to keep these fellows going in battle!

Awesome! I love these models.

I like the quote. Is it from anywhere in particular?

[Mr.Marx]

I really like that colour. Are they British?

[rob_the_robgoblin]

I woulkd assume so, given the quote...

The helmets do make them look German though.

[Mr. Burning]

@rob_alderman
I just made it up.

@Mr.Marx
Yes they are British. they were supposed to be NMM gold but I stumped myself and they ended up being yellow with harsh whit highlighting!  

[Lupus]

Actually as a colour it looks very nice indeed..

[Sterling Moose]

Nice work.

[Pappa Midnight]

I really like the colour!

Sets them apart from any "Red Coats" on the table..............That and the red eyes..............

Cool! Red eye or no we want them for our army too.

Nice work, Mr Burning!

[Gluteus Maximus]

Lovely work!  I really like the colour - it would be ideal for larger British contraptions.

Do you fight many battles on the leather suite? I know it's VSF and all that, but the terrain is a little implausible 

Please post more pics of your stuff!

Thanks.

the suite is in the best location for catching natural light, making a convenient place to put mini whilst I take photographs. I really want a green leather chair with all those brass studs to look the part!

[Red Orc]

Very nice indeed. Lovely paintjob on some great figures - I'm really starting to love Ironclad. If that's your first attempt at NMM then I think the nearest 8 LAFers should pile round to yours and all get drinks in for you, it's very good indeed.

And I love your little 'script' at the beginning, that's cool and sinister. Do you have an Army Chaplain to be horrified by them? More pics of VSF stuff please!
