Gautier Giroud Sculpts Up Some Impressive Steampunk Miniatures
November 21, 2015 by brennon
Gautier Giroud is a fantastic sculptor who has worked on projects like the Conan board game by Monolith. He is also designing a range of Steampunk miniatures for another game and these are some of the fruits of his labours. See what you think of the Steamborg and Steamsuit in 35mm...
I think you'll agree that immediately you're getting a Bioshock vibe from that Steamsuit! Thanks to some rather awesome photography from Giroud we also have some more angles of these models showing them off very nicely indeed.
Steamborg
First up we take a closer look at the Steamborg which is an awesome idea just on its own. I love the idea of someone cobbling together this creature of both organic and mechanical parts, all powered by generators and whirring cogs.
Maybe this particular character was injured in some way and used their ingenuity to come up with steam-driven arms and other appendages to allow them to get their revenge! I can't get over all the little details on the gun arm and the backpack.
Steamsuit
Following on from that little stunner we have the hulking Steamsuit that would be very much at home in the depths of Rapture or the skies of Columbia.
Once again a marvel to look at once you start taking in all of the details across the big mechanical arms and the back of the suit. I love that they have the little porthole for the wearer to look out of but I would fill that in with a bit of glass to make him look all the more intimidating.
There's no word as to which Steampunk game these are for but we do know that it will be a set of six so there's more to come.
Which of the two do you prefer?

I love these, absolutely stunning sculpts…
The steamsuit reminds me of what the crew wear in the captain harlock movie, which is cool.
The steamsuit is a very nice miniature
Very very cool…
@deaddave I can see that (which reminds me last time I was in Tokyo I bought a really lovely kit of the Arcadia, still haven’t built it – no surprise there)
The Steamborg gives me a real City of Lost Children vibe, for anyone who hasn’t seen the film it I highly recommend it!
The Arcadia is a gorgeous ship! Id love one in BFG scale lol.
These are “buy into a whole game system just to use them” level fantastic!
I look at them and can’t decide which is better, they are that well done. Wow, just speechless.
Awesome sculpts!!!
Love the steam suit! Totally bio shock! Always liked the story of that game! Really like the pose of the steamborg, simple but effective!!
Anyone wanting to Steampunk-ify their own conversions can add such details easily. You can buy little baggies of old watch parts, which is where all those little gears and cogs you can see here are from…

Awesome. The steam suit looks stunning !
We’re starting to get spoilt for choice with awesome steampunk minis. I hope that there is a game for them.
They may well be destined for the game Twisted soon to be KS’ed by Demented Games.Lots of their sculpts look v similar.Hope so as these are beauts
