Previews of Martian Empires Venus Range
« on: 03 June 2011, 03:02:40 PM »
Hi

Here are a few sample sneak peeks of what we are planning for our Venus addition to the 18mm Martian Empires range in the Autumn.







The Tolero Cavalry



First test Lizardman Infantry.

Many, many more to come over the next few months.

Note to self: Bring stronger bag to Warfare this year  :)

By the way, how are the Prussian vehicles and the French coming along?

They look really promising. Looking forward to the test of the range.

Good luck with the op.

Jez at Old Crow has been snowed under with work and as he does my vehicles I am still waiting.

I have seen early masters for them and they look great!

Hope to have some news on those soon.

Those Tolero cavalry look disturbingly like Ewoks on Emus  :o  lol

I love 'em, but it's a great shame you don't do 28mm, as there's no way I could justify doing 18mm VSF etc too  :'(

I suppose they could be used as very small alien cavalry in 28mm and maybe the "Ewok" comparison might be more accurate and certainly a lot of fun. Something to think about......

I hope they sell well though!

***snippage***

Also my first thought, though not entirely fair; ears aren't quite in the right place.

Now, I did think the lizard folk might be a touch too icthian, if you catch my drift.

You know? There's a pun in there, methinks.

Anyway, not raining on any parades, I hope, just an observation.

Yeah, I thought Hobbits on Giant Chickens. That'll be awesome for some fantasy craziness.

I really like the lizard guy. The ewoks are nice, but I don't see them adapted to the Venus climate.

 lol I do VSF in 4 different scales at this point. But then, I am a little bit crazy. It may also explain the difficulty in finishing stuff.
