My Thark Unit Completed for GASLIGHT
« on: June 25, 2012, 10:26:43 PM »
As Historicon quickly approaches, I am rapidly trying to complete all the Martian units I'm contributing for the big 20 player Mars Extravaganza GASLIGHT game Buck Surdu and I are running there. Last week, I finally finished up my unit of 10 Tharks (six-armed green Martians). These figures are from Bronze Age Miniatures, and I really like their large size and dynamic sculpts.
There's also a lot of detail on the figures so, they were an ease to paint.


Shown with a Tinman John Carter figure for size comparison:

Very nice indeed, I like those a lot.

Everybody who's anybody will be there!

Of course, I shall be at home.  :'(

Excellent work, Chris. Don't think I've added you to my list of hated, competent painters yet. Terrible oversight, that. Consider it done.

Great looking unit!  My nemesis is prepping his own unit of the same figures.  What kind of stats are you giving them?

Thanks for the kind comments, guys.  Glad you like them.

  We haven't finalized the stats yet, but we're thinking of using them in units of 5, with each figure getting two attacks and taking two hits to kill.
