{Btw Robert, we are still to discover 18th C. Melnibonean Elves War Dancers and Wytches, and hoping for Ornithopters: according to the name they would have bird-like [feathered] wings, or at least if with bat / Da Vinci wing, would be made of mobile 'flaps' a little like junk sails, 'closed' when the wing moves down, 'open' when it moves up; hull = a kind of narrow drakkar with a bird of prey head & tail rather than a dragon's?).
Btw this:

tinyurl.com/5u2o95u seems from a video game, but which one?
Then
YouTube link (not recent but inspirational, though too 'modern' for the Lace Wars; for that matter, the crew is in 'Napoleonic' shakos).
Recent inspirations of diverse kinds:
TMP link (the zombie priest can be used in many periods, and the zombie bride paint-converted to a baroque / rococo dress).
TMP link ('authentic' for a 18th C. adventure)
TMP link (hope the range will move back to the Lace Wars).
TMP link
What about Frederick, de Saxe, even Jeanne de Pompadour?
TMP link (other [Chaos] Dwarves engines such as the Grendel / Leviathan 'Goliath' TMP link and the OG 'Steam wagon' link -preferably with spoked wheels tinyurl.com/64stao4 to look less 'archaic / medieval'- could be converted to 'alternate' Lace Wars contraptions, the small ones maybe more suitable for 1/72 or 15mm crews, with a somehow 'Indian Juggernaut' look?).
TMP link (easily set during the FIW; symmetrically YouTube link YouTube link can be pushed back a good half a century).

YouTube link
Can easily be turned 'Munchausenian' rather than 'Bergeracquesque'.
Well, even YouTube link YouTube link can be inspirational: the previous rendition YouTube link showed a tricorne…
Speaking of {were?}wolves, both Cipher "Jaws" link and GW "Thing in the Woods" link with a little paint conversion would make great 'tamed' armored warbeasts of the "Brotherhood of the Wolf" 'Bete' type
Not recent but I just came across him, Alucard link in 'quasi 18th C. / baroque' rendition

link to a Lace Wars setting:

Another possible adaptation: Lovecraft's 'Lurking Fear' link to a FIW setting. Copplestone Yetis would make good Martenses (albinos with heterochomia) but lack variety; maybe Crocodile Wendigos, their horns removed? Or some types of humanoid almost naked ghouls?
