Title: Back to Mars, first the rebasing
Post by: Manchu Mike on 05 May 2020, 03:58:08 PM: Been many years, but finally got the bug to play a few games of Colonial Mars in 28mm. But first I needed to organize and rebase my older figures. Wanted 1 "Banner' made up of two companies, one of shooters and one of cutters. Had to paint up some extra figures to fill out each Banner. But the first 3 Banners are done. 3 more to go. Then Cav and Guns.

GDW called them "Shield Gunners".

Post by: ecwcaptain on 15 June 2020, 07:27:57 PM: Excellent! I especially love seeing a flag. There has never really been a good list of flags for Space 1889 Martian units available. A few have tried, but nothing extensive.

I was tempted to multi- base mine but ended up basing them as individuals.
Not sure now

Post by: Manchu Mike on 09 July 2020, 09:29:20 PM: Steders,
I've gone back and forth on the single vs
multi basing for years.
But with the Martians looking at 150+ figs
in the end I went with multi,
Which reminds me gotta base up some more!

I too have been tackling this as a project idea, after many years of collecting bits and getting distracted away from it with other interests, so your work is good inspiration - many thanks ;)
