...because Mars has canals, not trenches.

Very nice! The weapons conversions are very steampunk. Working on my Hinterland trenchers right now.

Thanks!  With the weapons, one of the muzzles got bent in transport (No worries Mancha, it happens sometimes) and I hamfistedly broke it while trying to straighten it.  Since I wanted to make them less WW1 anyway, I just snipped off the muzzles on all of them and went conversion-happy.

Good heavens, what a nice stylish unit!  :-*

NICE paintjobs.  Mine are still only basecoated.  Gotta finish the zombies for R3 of the LPL, then do my R5 Africa theme, and then I can get to work on my Trench Raiders.  I don't know how you're so prolific, Froggy.   :o

None of us can figure it out- I suspect some kind of pact with infernal powers, myself. :o

Beautiful work, Froggy. I also like the term "Canal Fighters" for a Martian unit. Top marks!  :-*

Why must my productivity have to be faustian and/or with infernal powers?

Because most of the rest of us can only plod along, marveling at a rate of productivity that seems uncanny...

Amen!

Nice painjobs, by the way. Th  trench raiders look much better once painted up.

Nothing personal Mancha.  :) I love your work, it's just that (for me) it's hard to get a good sense of what a mini looks like based soley on a picture of a primed or bare lead miniature. Once painted, though, all of the details get picked out and a sense of all of the mini's possiblities become instantly apparent in my mind.

I hope that explains my position without me coming across as a total jerk...  :)

Blimey, that was quick!
Great looking bevy of Deutsche mädchen. Loving all those flaxen pigtails... Nice colour scheme too...

If only you hadn't got all your LPL entries in so quick  ;)

Wow!

Nice job Froggy!

And yes, I agree, I imagined them quite different painted.

Very nice work. I may have to add a unit of these to my Prussians. How do they scale in with other manufacturers' ranges?
Title: Re: Martian Hintlerlander Canal-Fighters
Post by: Froggy the Great on 23 March 2011, 06:44:49 PM
They're tiny compared to Reaper and Heroclix, seem to scale quite well with the likes of Hasslefree.

So roughly compatible with Foundry?

Totally.   ;)

Maybe?  I don't have that much Foundry at all.

http://hinterlandminiatures.weebly.com/scale.html is probably more helpful than my guesses.

Lovely work..

And on the scale, the ones I have scale fine with models like Foundry, Empress, Askari and so

Great - they should scale in perfectly with my Warrior figures. Prussian Valkyrie Aeromarines now on the shopping list :)

What does it make em if someone digs a trench in a canal to fight?  :-)

It's still a canal.

FUBAR stats for these, by the way: 
Seasoned, Canal Rifles (24", 1FP, reroll 6s), 10pts.  They seemed to work ok, but the unit was broken very quickly.
