Title: martian walkers?
Post by: Dooey on October 05, 2013, 07:21:55 PM

Currently playing victorian SA, also new to this forum.
Anyone ever come up with ideas for martian walkers, tripods and the like?

What scale?
If 2mm then there are the Olympians from Brigade Models http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/LandIronclads/Olympians.html (http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/LandIronclads/Olympians.html)
Eureka do some 6mm ones http://eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=3461 (http://eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=3461)
10mm then you could go for the Pendraken ones http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Sci-Fi-c24/Tripods-sc293/ (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Sci-Fi-c24/Tripods-sc293/)
Or if you need something bigger you can always go for a DIY version as I did  8)

Great idea on the Victorian S.A. Can't wait to see more!
And I probably shouldn't mention it but...we have a new Lurker around the shop which just happens to have three legs...and a weird eye sack thing...won't be out for awhile...so, that doesn't help you much at present.  :? It is the Strange Aeons solution to the walking eye and could make quite a good Tripod.

Many thanks. Going for a Black Hat tripod, really nice size.
Should have mentioned am doing this in 15mm, using various manufacturers. Not sure how aware people are of the Contents of Blue Moon  packs. In amongst the colonials, victorians, horror packs lurk miniatures for sherlock holmes, indiana jones, camera men, couple from the mummy films  etc.
These form the basis of the threshold, lurkers being from the other horror packs and old 1980's cthulhu miniatures. Setting has so far been rural but am building a mansion based upon the mansion of madness tiles and also a post martian invasion London, Birmingham, so ruins, red weed etc..
Will have to post some Photos shortly.
Any ideas for stats for a martian/ martian tripod? As I say only played a couple of games so bit of a newb.
