A new Sky Martian clan. The Daas Ak Maa
« on: March 24, 2013, 03:09:43 PM »
The Daas Ak Maa (literal translation: Fire on the Wind?) dwell amongst the lofty peaks of the northern most mountain range on Mars and are as far as I can ascertain closely related to the feared Rass Ak Naa clan. Though not as rutheless, they are no less feared amongst the city dwelling Martians. Their lightning strikes on the remote settlements along the canal routes leave no survivors. They favour distinct red armour, made from the crushed shells of small beetle like creatures found in abundance in the mountains. Although ancient legends say the armour was forged using blood taken from the mother planet.
Taken from the journal of Professor Ebenezar Von Stypher-Dyke, (University of Vienna,) written during his travels on Mars 1888 -1889







The red armour by special request from Furt ;)

Oooh!
Very nice!

That armour is certainly versatile for colouring.
I imagine it would look good however it was finished.

They look great Nick and congrats on getting out the brushes mate.

Now, I wonder what they would look like in black...  ;)

Ok, ok - fair enough.  lol

The red does make them look a little more sinister in my opinion - the white being a little too friendly looking.

I must say I also like Nick's "fluff" on these Daas Ak Maa, especially "the armour was forged using blood taken from the mother planet" part.

I am really looking forward to seeing some of these elusive city dwelling Martians now.
