The fight for Mars continues. A photo report from BLAM 2012

[Phil Robinson]

Cracking stuff, love the Venusian parrot men, how do you know if they are dead or just sleeping though?

[Thunderchicken]

Absolutely brilliant stuff!  Well done chaps.

I assumed Dr De'ath had discovered the hard way the lancers had been left on his chair.

Dr. V, I've never seen you with so much hair, almost drew my attention away from those trousers.

[OSHIROmodels]

I'll put mine up at the weekend as I have not time this week 

Good game though, even with the piss taking 

cheers

Is the second Japanese 'nef actually designed to have removable bits to simulate damage, or was that snapped off fin an accidental breaking of the fourth wall?

Not to simulate damage but to make for safer storage, I believe.

[TheBlackCrane]

Lovely stuff, the type of thing that makes me want to leap straight into VSF crying God Save the Queen!

Can you tell me which range the figures from the Kalibar Lancers come from?

[Malamute]

Can you tell me which range the figures from the Kalibar Lancers come from?

They are Old Glory from their North West Frontier range.

[Dr DeAth]

DrDe'Ath seen yawning at the prospect of another thrashing for the Frenchies:

Yawning after the effort of growing such an outrageous mop of hair - didn't realise I looked that rediculous  , luckily I've had it cropped since then.

And grown a Goatee, very stylish

This is true

With the scale of combat, I thought I spotted a tunneler to boot

Ahha, thanks! I've a hankering to do a project based on Stirling's 'The Peshawar Lancers' - I think these might be just the thing I'm after. Possibly with Empress' new Afghans on the other side, although I imagine there is something of a size difference. Thanks for letting me know!

Empress' new Afghans are for the 1920's so will have a bit of a weapons advatage there....

Beautiful – yet bloody frustrating when I look at my measly under equipped forces and think how many days, weeks years of my life will pass until I will be able to field such an wonderful array of figures.  You bastards!
