Figbarf: Alt-Steampunk
So I went a bit further into the steampunk, but this time thinking outside the common "English" styled steampunk that most people think of first.
From left to right:
- An Outlands Railway Guard: The harsh tundra known as the "outlands" is a dangerous and harsh place, home only to nomads and bandit clans. However, this inhospitable place is also host to important, expansive railway networks between several countries. The trains that cross the Outlands need to be guarded heavily, and require the most proficient weaponry the industrial revolution has to offer to achieve this.
- Mountainous Scout: As the infamous Empire spreads across the lands, the nations of the northern mountain regions have started to send out scouts to make sure the Empire isn't setting up FOBs or sending their own scouts into the mountains. The development of multi-spectrum goggles has made seeking hidden enemies much easier, and amplified the ability of the already-competent hunter/trackers that these scouts are.
- Dessert Raider: As the Empire Warily creeps into south-eastern deserts, the native kingdoms retaliate by sending raiding parties to attack imperial camps. The raiders attack at night, using silent weapon such as bows, pikes, swords, etc. to kill any watchmen and set fire to supplies, sabotage transport and equipment, and kill as many people as possible. They are also known for stealing weapons and other gear from the camps they raid; useful devices and technology they wouldn't usually have access to, such as multi spectrum goggles (which help them see at night), and respiration devices (which can help manage smoke inhalation, from the fires they set).
- Nomadic Nobleman: nomads have been ever-present throughout the lands and generally kept to themselves in the past. however in the midst of the industrial revolution, various nomad clans have began to unite and form complex hierarchies. New technologies have made the life of these nomads much easier, namely the invention of steam based transports, as well as guns to better defend themselves. Despite their lack of land ownership, the United Nomad Clans have the power of a small country, and continue to grow bolder than ever before.
- Southern Principality Soldier/Guard: The Empire isn't the only powerful entity on the globe, in the tropical south regions, a thriving nation has its own distinction, with a proud culture and history, strong military might, and dominion over several other lands. With its own share of technological advancements, the soldiers of this principality are well equipped, with advanced firearms and even potent chemical weapons.
So that's that, I hope you like them!
