Meridian Miniatures Prepare For A Steampunk Kickstarter

We've shown off some images of the Meridian Miniatures before at very early stages of production. Well now they have some great looking painted figures showing them off to their fullest in preparation for a Kickstarter that should be starting soon...
As you can see they have put the various components together in a variety of different ways to produce some interesting and original looking soldiers from either the Steampunk era or from a Dystopian future.

Do you think you'll back them come Kickstarter time?

The Kickstarter is now live:

The pictures there look much nicer than the ones shown here.
