Isembard Kickass Brunel and Co.

Isembard Kickass Brunel, Steampunk miniature

Mr Curtis of Ramshackle Games creates miniatures for the squad based tabletop game, Nuclear Renaissance.  A post apocalyptic setting, Nuclear Renaissance has gangs and tribes of people of various styles – and some of them are wonderfully Steampunk.  The most wonderful of these is the above “Isembard Kickass Brunel“, engineer without peer and visionary for a better post apocalyptic future of aquaducts, bridges and railways!  (The real Isembard Kingdom Brunel was larger than life too!)

But there are problems, of course, and some people aren’t sitting idly by while Kickass-B rebuilds and so he needs to defend himself and his creations, using his giant mechanical Huntsman Spider Tank!  Perhaps he’ll encounter the Society of Intrepid Explorers – the most interesting of which much surely be the top-hatted and knife handed Mr Sniketty and his scientist friend, Oliver Sprocket.  Thank you Mr Curtis – better late than never!

  • Hey thanks for the comments! I actually realised the spelling error quite early on, but Ive always preferred this version! Well, I think the Kickass bit is a lot more outrageous to the late MrBrunel!
  • Sorry to be a total nit-picker, but the late, great Mr Brunel spelt his name "Isambard". This telegram, by the way, originates from the fair city of Bristol, home of Mr Brunel's famous suspension bridge, his great Temple Meads station and his various works on the Floating Harbour.
  • If Isambard Kingdom Brunel existed in the alternate future, I think that's exactly what he would look like. Although I can't tell from the picture... does he have his outrageous sideburns? Because that's where he draws his strength from. And they function as backup power supplies for his devices, which can be converted to run on Pure Awesome!

    BTW, check the spelling of his name.

    Lol, cool. Don't mess with that guy!
