Title: War of the Worlds Survivors
Post by: Sunjester on February 15, 2025, 04:56:52 PM: Trying this again, my previous post seems to have disappeared!

I have started up a new campaign for Henry, Colin and Mark, set in the aftermath of an H G Wells-styles Martian Invasion https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2025/02/war-of-worlds-survivors-campaign.html

Post by: Spinal Tap on February 16, 2025, 07:47:59 AM: This is great and gives me opportunities to use my VSF figures.

Where are the Martian figures from?

Post by: Sunjester on February 16, 2025, 09:05:31 AM: Thank you gentlemen.

The Stalkers and Scuttlers are 3d prints from Esty, a range called Mindarian Menace.
The Martian/Human hybrid is a CMON model from the World of Smog steampunk game.
The Shades are Victorian Zombies from various sources, mostly Ironclad.

One fellow has the figure for sale in the US at $13 including shipage. Your work makes it most tempting, Sunjester...

I am really interested on where you found some of these awesome other Tripod minis.

Post by: Sunjester on May 23, 2025, 05:09:10 PM: We played the latest game in my post Martian Invasion campaign. Mark stirred things up by taking a pop at one of the other survivors, but received just rewards in the end! https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2025/05/war-of-worlds-survivors-5.html

Easy E, I picked these up on Etsy, search for Mindarian Menace.
