== Examples == [[Image:48526b03d18004c9837a57d9be8e7b85.jpg|300px|thumb|right]] * [[Imperium|Imperial technology]] (and, by extension, [[Chaos]] and [[Ork]] tech, since they like to loot their tech) is a Dieselpunk world that somehow developed space travel technology. Diesel isn't the only game in town, there is also [[Force Weapons|Renai]][[Power Weapon|ssance]] Fair and [[Lasgun|cheap]] [[Titan|80'ies]] [[Plasma|sci]]-[[Melta|fi]] [[Adeptus Mechanicus|show]] ([[Power armor#Warhammer_40.2C000|or]] [[Imperial Knight|both]]), but the day to day tech that an average citizen sees is Dieselpunk design. The [[Imperial Guard]] literally runs on it, special mention goes to [[Death Korps of Krieg|Kriegers]], [[Armageddon Steel Legion|Armageddoners]], [[Mordian Iron Guard|Mordians]], [[Valhalla]]ns and the entirety of the [[Schola Progenium|Commissariat]]. * Generally, every [[Communism|Russian]] or Russian-equivalent faction in a sufficiently advanced setting is this; see [[Khador]], [[AT-43|Red Bloc]]; good vidya examples are Soviets from [[Command_and_Conquer#Red_Alert_series|Red Alert]] and China from [[Command_and_Conquer#Generals_series|C&C:Generals]]. ** [[Nazi]]s and similarly themed factions tend to share this property whenever they're not too busy playing with occultism, eugenics, and Tesla weapons. Kinda understandable: would you [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bertha_(howitzer) look] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_VIII_Maus at] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landkreuzer_P._1500_Monster these] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elefant penis] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Ger%C3%A4t compensators]. * In /v/, examples are [[Fallout]] (albeit if you're inclined to split hairs, that's Atompunk (50'es to 70'es)), first two Bioshocks (Infinite is more steampunky), Dishonored (some will try to argue that Dishonored is more steampunk, we call these people idiots) and [[Wolfenstein]] (from "Return to" and onwards). Primorida also covers this aesthetic, though mixed with some very mother-of-pearl sculpting and hiding beneath the post-apocalyptic surface. The Hungarian shmup Sine Mora EX also deserves mention for its many stylish designs of planes, tanks, and warships. Although, it also has [[furries]] committing [[Exterminatus|genocide]]. Make of that what you will. * Dieselpunk has also reared its head in Hollywood. The movies [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102803/?ref_=nv_sr_1 The Rocketeer] and [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346156/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Sky Captain and the World Tomorrow] are both aesthetically accurate but suffered mediocre reviews. * For [[weeaboo]]s goes the non-alchemy bits of Fullmetal Alchemist, half of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki Miyazaki's] creative output, [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Avatar's]] Fire Nation, most of The Legend of Korra, and the 2001 animated (pseudo-remake) Metropolis. * A new RTS game called Iron Harvest. Literally a dieselpunk WW2, in a world where we made humanoid mechsuits instead of tanks. Based off of the 1920+ universe.
