New Martian range preview! **4/5/12 Fully painted warband**
« on: March 23, 2012, 06:31:49 PM »
We have the greens and they are going off to the casters on Monday (I have to bloody work tomorrow  >:( ).

But anyway, this is the start of a range of denizens of Mars and I hope that they appeal.

The first pack will be multipart with options for missile troops or hand/pole weapons. There is also a character figure that is a one peice.







They will hopefully be ready for Salute and will be taking part in the Martian demo game that I am hosting (as Oshiro).

One or two tweaks to do and they are done. The body poses will make more sense when they are put together.

There will also be a range of vehicles to go with them  ;)

The figure is a Copplestone BoB Chinese Warlord for scale.

 :)

cheers

Interesting and imaginative take on the Martian theme.
I immediately started thinking about what their culture would be like when I saw them.
The range looks very promising.  :-*

We have some background fluff about the history of Mars. These first releases represent the Sky Martians. We will upload details in due course.

Oh I like them!  :D

(they'd also make a great alternative bloodbowl/elfball team with ready open hands. Cool!)

Looking good. Reminiscent of the RAFM Bob Murch sculpts.

I like!  Especially that they're kind of low on details, which will make them fun to paint and very customizable.  Who sculpted them?  They sort of remind me of Buddle work.

I love these... nice solid sculpts and a great design...

who is actually releasing these then? Oshiro?

Malamute's 'we' has confused me - are these going to LAM? or some other venture?

It's a joint project between Nick and Jim. I think (and could be wrong here) that they are being released through Oshiro as Boothill is staying 'Historical' (as historical as Zorro can be).

Thanks for the positive comments chaps  :)

The sculpts were by Soapy and were designed by Nick and myself.

For the time being they will be available through here (when they are ready) and then there will be a dedicated website with lots of goodies in store  :)

I'll take some weapon shots tomorrow evening.

cheers

Great looking Martians. I can see some uses for them in non-VSF games also.
