"I never truly believed her, she was young and prone to flights of fantasy. It wasn't until I heard them, great gusts of air and steam droning in the distance, then i saw them, these flying men of Moriarty. We were not prepared for the arial attack.
They first dropped the bombs and then cut through our ranks with their swords and motorised saws. I watched in horror as the people I fought with was engulfed in flames from their infernal weapons. It was a horrific slaughter and we barely escaped with our lives. "
extract from the diary of Rose, Grant daughter of Holmes.Desktopwargames.com proudly present the arial combat figure set for its critically acclaimed "Gods of Steam" Steampunk army figures. You can now add speed and range to your attacks. Hundreds of of unique figures combinations possible. 6 Colours, 8 weapons, 6 figures + 6 inverse amounts to almost 350 unique combinations. Below is just some of the combinations for just one figure... there is 5 more to configure.    |

1- Another great set! Thanks, dragnoz. 2- I lost Cardboard Warriors Forum's special offer. I was too fast. ;D ;D ;D But this set is certainly worth more than $ 4 paid.  PS: What item have in hand the troopers? |

Awesome set. I couldn't resist after seeing the amount of options. Now I'm thinking if I should build some models as scenics for a steampunk battle... and that's considering I'm currently building some modern city blocks, and planning to make a fantasy/medieval board... ugh, so little time  |

With the diversity of the sets, I built an ENTIRE army using just the two existing sets.
I think it is WONDERFUL that you have the figure showing-off the weapons choices and color schemes. That was a GREAT graphic and beautifully shows the wonderful choices the user can expect to see.
To answer the question that Rhannon asked, there are:
Long pistols
Knives
Swords
Chainsaws
Sniper Rifles
Heavy Machine Guns/ Gatling Guns
Flame-throwers
and bombs
...and maybe a couple others I may have forgotten.
All-in-all, these are AMAZING sets!

I have only one suggestion. It would be helpful in lining up the two sides of the figures if the scoring lines were a bit more prominent and longer.
Otherwise, I love 'em!
Have fun!

...It would be helpful in lining up the two sides of the figures if the scoring lines were a bit more prominent and longer... Steve, I would appreciate if you could elaborate... OK I know - not my thread / not my set... but I'm always curious/interested in "technical" aspects (and I'm afraid I missed something due to my poor English knowledge... so perhaps more detailed / descriptive), please!?  ;D |

OK I know - not my thread / not my set... but I'm always curious/interested in "technical" aspects (and I'm afraid I missed something due to my poor English knowledge... so perhaps more detailed / descriptive), please!? ;D For each of the figures, there is a front side and a back side. The two sides are lined up so that the front and the back match up when folded and glued. Jim Hartman popularized the custom of putting a red line between the two sides so that they can be folded properly. You use these red lines on your 30mm figures. Before I fold the figures I'm building, I score along the red lines to make sure I get a clean and accurate fold. Some artists put their figures in a row so that they can all share the same red line. dragnoz is not able to do this with the steam rocket troopers because the poses are so dynamic, which is a good thing. If dragnoz would put a red line between the two sides of his figures, it would make it a little easier for me to make sure they fold properly. This is not a major criticism. I love the figures! Have fun! Steve |

Just to add a bit on what Steve said, the longer the folding guide, the lesser is the "angle error" the (not skilled) user will do when pre-scoring the fold using the ruler. That's another reason why having more figures on the same line helps.
