Here are the latest offerings from the Ironclad stables some Martian cavalry.
I need a name for the beasts any suggestions. I was thinking of Thamels but as you know with this forum there is always someone with a better idea.

They look great.
Call them hoof cameliod, even though that name is not better than yours lol
-
Those look ace, all of these updates are happening so fast!!! ;D
-
Those are brilliant. Now I'm gonna have to get saving for a whole bunch of stuff.
I think Thamels sounds great, the only other thing I could think of was Droats (as in Dromedary/Thoat). Yours is better.
-
Nice figures… as far as I can tell because the picture is a little too small… or is it the angle? Anyhow, the mount look like a mix of camel and elephant lol
-
A martian Canal Cameliad?
Cameliad has stuck in my head. :)
-
It's a Lemac, quite clearly :)
-
Haha!

It's a Lemac, quite clearly :)
It doesn't look French to me, more Northern than that.
Ay-up lad, as tha fed T'hamel? ;)

Aaaand one more on the Salute shopping list
I`m slowly starting to think I might have the visit the London office of the company I work for in Hatton Garden to ship the miniatures to Antwerp afterwards... lol
-
Ooooh! Nice stuff John.
Will you be selling the beasties (I thought of some names but they all belong in the gutter I'm afraid ;)) separately? I'm thinking that any invading forces to the martian planet may want to adopt these mounts for their own cavalry.
-
Yes I will do some separately, I am currently planning cavalry for the British and Prussians so I probably will have to do martian mounts for them, and so the list grows.

camel
O.E. camel, perhaps via O.N.Fr. camel (O.Fr. chamel, Mod.Fr. chameau), from L. camelus, from Gk. kamelos, from Heb. or Phoen. gamal, perhaps related to Arabic jamala "to bear." Another O.E. word for the beast was olfend, apparently were based on confusion of camels with elephants in a place and time when both were known only from travelers' vague descriptions.
My emphasis/suggestions
-
Real nice stuff.
Have to get some
-
Very nice but shouldn't they have six legs??
-
I thought all 'animals' on Mars had six legs, no? Nice sculpts :o
-
Not on my side of Mars. lol
-
A Martian camel, a mamel... Oh wait, that doesn't work does it ;D
cheers

Whatever the name settles as I may, depending on scale issues, have some Imperial Guard rough Rider mounts I can work with too!
keep these new sculpts coming!
-
Why don't you go on holiday for a few weeks, so I can manage to buy some of your old stuff before all this lovely new stuff comes out?
;) lol
As ever, lovely models and they have lots of potential in non-Martian SF too :D
