Steampunk Infantry?
« on: 24 March 2012, 08:40:45 AM »
I'm going to be investing in LAM's VSF/Steampunk range soon for a project I've got in mind and I was wondering if there are any standard infantry/military figures out there that will compliment the range? I've looked at figures already in my collection and ranges I can think of but any other suggestions?

Here's the list I've drawn up so far:

Standard Brits in Home Service uniform and standard Prussians - No.
Warrior Miniatures England Invaded Brits - too WWI but could be converted.
Warrior Miniatures Germans - possibility
Warzone Mutant Chronicles - possibility with conversions
WH40K stuff such as Steel Legion and Death Corps - too modern looking
Artizan Thrilling Tales Immortal Battalion  - possibility with conversions

As I said, the hard part is finding figures that will comlpment the LAM range.
Don't!

First thing that came to my mind was "England Invaded range" ;)
But maybe some Ironclad-minis could work, like the Prussian Stomtroopers.
Or from Wyrd the "Freikorps" minis

Nice. Scale might be a problem with those fellas. I wonder how they compare to LAM. Might pick up a sample.

what about these:

I forgot all about those. Been trying to remember why I didn't buy these for VSF and I'm thinking it was down to the weapons. Would work for what I've got in mind.

I do not have any of them I saw them once in a shop. they might not fit well with other ranges, being as 30mm.
Anyhow you may find them also here:

Some fast shots of Freikorps and LAM





Hope it helps ;)

Could also contact Martin (Kellerkind) and ask him if he could make some comparison shots, if it would be of interest :)

Good comparison shots, Comsquare.

Thanks for the pictures, that's very much appreciated. Agree with Mason, the bases are nice.

Any other comparison pictures would be great, I'm hoping the Kellerkind figs will be compatible.

They also have some 28mm ones that look quite good!

Ah, I thought you was referring to other steampunk figures on the Kellerkind site. There's some nice characters there.

Comsquare, thanks for your help.
