Behold the teslapunk might of Leonardo Tesla! They said he was mad, and... well, looks like they were right.

FUCK YOU BEAT ME TO POSTING STEAMPUNKISH STUFF
On another note these kick ass,also for the record i,ve had my steampunk army for two years now (updated tons though).
Nice army i like the flying boats ( i could never get boats that small to
be able to fly whilst looking cool) the dudes are also pretty nice.

EDIT
try using the 4x4brown barrel (from western themes) and 4x4 dishes
for the boilers (makes it look much better) .
As for links i can't be arsed so :diy:

I love Land Trains. They have a really nice heavy look to them, and it's clear what their role is in the army. I like the Rover, too. The only complaint I have about it is that it looks a bit too much like a modern buggy to me, and it seems a little out of place among the rest of the stuff.

I've become infatuated with building cars out of Lego, so these are great for me to look at. Amazing job.

The infantry are good as well, those Brickforge backpacks are super nice.

Edited after realizing that the pic is a link. Derp.

The "Long Coats" on the infantrymen is a cool idea. Are the muskets the new ones from Brickarms?

The "Magnificent Mechanical Man" also looks good. I like the arm swards. Nice use of the Orc weapons.

The adjustable stand on your command boat was also a great idea. I will steel it whn the time comes.

Great photos.

I don't use the big barrels partly because they're a bit hard to get in brown and partly because you can't add smokestacks and top hats to them.

Moar shots of tesla cars please. These look crazy great, but the cars are definitely my favourites. Cool

I love the way you made those "tanks"* look like a mix between a train and an armoured car. They have a really nice heavy look to them, and it's clear what their role is in the army. I like the buggy, too. The only complaint I have about it is that it looks a bit too much like a modern dune buggy to me, and it seems a little out of place among the rest of the stuff.

*quotation marks added to please tank snobs.

Not sure what you meant but here's the closeups of the Land Trains and Rover.
I know some people have computers that have a deep hatred for Flickr so I'm assuming that's what it is.

These are awesome! I posted my steampunk army a couple years ago, but I like your teslapunks better.

You just need rocketeers.....

Very Sweet armies.

Very good army, it has the perfect size and variation of forces I think to make for an interesting battle.

Sorry didnt see that ,and by the way did you think of building an airship ?

Post by **BFenix** » Mon Sep 13, 2010 2:18 pm

This army is crazy awesome! I love most machines, mainly the tanks/landtrains, but the aerial machines and the top hat bot look pretty damn good to. can't w8 to see them in action!

Actually I have, but I ran into the issue of having nothing better than those little rowboats in the way of nautical vessels.
