Ewok Does Steampunk

Things have been a bit scattershot, what with a lot of the models still to arrive from Ironclad who had some misfortune just before Xmas.

I have made a start on building and priming various bits and bobs.

I got all the characters and British infantry in metal cleaned and primed.

Then I started on the Zulus.

I had a few days after Xmas, so I got the Zulus assembled and primed.

192 Zulus down. I realised that what with all the artillery and hopefully tanks in the near future. The Zulus are seriously outgunned. So I decided to give them some dinosaurs, because dinosaurs are cool. Fight me if you disagree.

Next up I started on the British Artillery. I also have some electric cannons from Ironclad. I may end up sourcing some Austro-Hungarian or Prussian artillery crew and giving them to the Malverians

So the idea of this Project is two create a steampunk British Army and three adversarial forces, Martians, Malverians and Zulus, hundreds of them.

The British Army, fairly standard Zulu wars redcoat theme and a view naval crew. Ably backed by a plethora of steampunk inventors and adventurers  and tanks and assorted contraptions

Martians, a bunch of tripods, in gaming terms a small amount of super powerful fighting machines.

Malverians – a made up German-Balkan hostile state, they use tanks and tunneling vehicles. I have picked up some Franco Prussian war miniatures from the Perrys which I shall paint however I bloody well like.

Zulus, seriously outgunned on all fronts …so let’s give them some dinosaurs.

Of course, they will need somewhere to fight, so I am doing the streets of London and Gerry will probably bully me into throwing some kind of Rorke’s Drift style terrain together.
