I think the best steampunk armor I have seen was fan art done of the Vinci Rifleman from the game Rise of Nations, rise of Legends. The combination of European, Spanish, Japanese and clockwork makes quite an interesting set of armor. |

Ran across this and thought I'd put it out there as a possible example of exotic armor. It's a armor coat made from the scales of a pangolin anteater. Wikipedia claims This coat has been covered with the scales of the pangolin or scaly anteater (Manis crassicaudata). The scales have been decorated in gold, and the larger have been used where more protection is required. This is the only known example of this type of armour. It originally had a helmet, also made of pangolin scales, with three plumes.
The scale coat was presented to the King George III in 1820 by Francis Rawdon, 1st Marquis of Hastinges (1754-1826), who was the East India Company's Governor General in Bengal, 1812-22. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_Pangolin_scales.JPG |

I'm currently toying with the creation of a new SP persona who is a "priest of the Cog".....somewhat related to the technomages from B5 (points if anyone remembers them). The armour I'm going to be using is a leather lorica segmentata that will be heavily embossed, detailed with brass and copper, and generally Spiffied Up. It's not so much intended to be proof against firearms, but against knives and swords, as well as to enhance the technomantik and magickal powers of the wearer. Also, it's reasonable to assume that if one were to be "ministering" to the underbelly of society, there would be a large number of people who couldn't afford access to firearms, and therefore would be using knives and such.
Think Hellboy meets technomage meets all manner of esoteric goodness.

I posted this elsewhere in the forum at one point, but I made a brass chest-plate loosely based on the trench armor.  As another poster mentioned earlier on in this thread, medieval style armor was still in use on the battlefield during the Victorian era, just in extremely limited amounts and applications  |

Marvelous. I find WW1 protection so interesting, mostly because the stylings almost remind me of a different century. Some rather radical prototype helmets And possible my favourite, Brewster body armour, France 1917 |

this is some steampunkish armor that you can find in "the elder scrolls III Morrowind" the Dwemer are an ancient and extinct race, however their technology was very advanced (the game is a fantasy rpg)    and a little off topic but still nice! the dwemer centurion!  |

I have built medieval armor & weapons before, and am planning on a sort of steampunk take on an iron man costume.
(and then i don't mean simply a brass iron man, but completely change the concept, with more SP-worthy weaponry.)
the electronics in this one are going to be a challenge however, as i'm only experienced at fabric, blacksmithing, and the more primitive aspects of costume building at the moment...
if someone could maybe tell me how to upload pictures from your computer onto this forum, i'll post some images of my homemade, fully metal medieval armor as a referrence. (sorry, not an expert on web-related stuff either)

Interesting idea. I've seen a steampunk Iron Man once, but still looked like Iron Man with rivets. I would think the first armour from the film would be more like it.
For uploading I think you need a online photo-folder (photo-bucket, Flickr etc) and add it in with the picture tab. Others may have a better guide for you.
Good luck

Mind just my unsolicited two pence but I would envision steampunk armor to be perhaps more subdued or dare say even concealed. I'm meaning more like a flexible mesh lining a great coat or or cloak-cape that would act much like a Faraday Cage against electrical or plasma energies of natural, arcane or scientifically induced origins.
Not to overlook foot-gear that would have a dual capability of operating as an insulating as well as grounding feature dependent upon the wearer's need or environmental conditions in general.

At a Napoleonic Museum in Den Helder (NL), they have a sort of top hat that looked as made of steel. .JPG) |
