Hentzau will like this, I think.

I like it too, but I am useless for building and painting minis. Will show my friend

Re: Victorian Science Fiction — Great War against the Cthoni
Have to admit, not a big fan of the Dystopian Wars stuff.
I know it's a really fine distinction, but I consider myself more a fan of Victorian Science Fiction than Steampunk. I like my VSF to have hope, and I like the S part of VSF to be used sparingly. I'm fine my lift wood ships and steam powered tanks and tripods, and the occasional whacky science fiction element like a very unreliable lightning cannon. I start losing interest with giant steam leviathans and platoons of rocket troops and mechanical horse cavalry. Plus the darker elements of modern-day Steampunk turn me off as well.
Guess I'm just a VSF snob.

Oh, and I do think some the Dystopian Wars 28mm figs are absolutely beautiful. If I was still actively doing Space:1889 minis games I would be buying some to bolster my existing troops.
