15mm Steampunk - Victorian Sci-FI - Martian Wars

This past weekend I attended a convention here in Austin called Millennium Con.  On Sunday the do a flea market and I was there selling off various miniatures.  A friend of mine was at the table next to me selling his stuff.  Near the end of the flea market, he had a few items that weren't sold, so gave them to me.  Very cool by the way. 

One of the items was a set of 15mm figures from Highlander Studios Inc.  These were not just good sculpts, but absolutely amazing sculpts.

 

These guys got my Victorian Sci-Fi juices flowing. I already had a large collection of Martian Walkers, so I wanted to see what cool steam tanks these guys could use. I found 2 really good steam tanks

Black Hat Miniatures Prussian Heavy Steam Tank

Spartan Games Tankette

Trench 2114, Heer light infantry

Recently I received some samples of the Trench 2114 Panzer Troops.  The miniatures were clean, crisp and had limited flash, which only was on the bottom of the base.  I was really surprised how nice they looked compared to how I imagined they would look.  I will have some pictures up soon.

Here are some greens of the Trench2114 Heer light infantry. 



I am really interested in seeing how these will compare size wise to the upcoming Clockwork Goblin Minis.  Hopefully people will be able to mix the two companies figures.

A good friend of mine, Allen Swan has started up a blog called Dead Game Guild.  He will be showcasing older OOP games and things he thinks are cool, such as 15mm Victorian/Steam Punk.
