6mm VSF (Rifles+artillery)

[von Lucky]

Simple and effective conversions. Keep it going.

[Stroezie]

And yet more red martian troops.
This time its two units of imperial guards,



The melee unit armed with shield and spear



And a ranged unit armed with pavise and radium rifles




Here's a pic with the donor figure so you can all marvel at my converting skills ;-)




The left over pieces of the pikes were used to arm a unit of regular rifles,
here's a sneek peek at that unit




More pics when they are decent and have some more paint on them.
Probably in a week or two as I'll be going camping with the kids next week so no painting then.

Cheers,
Stroezie.

Two questions a quick run through an entire year of 6mm goodness didn't yield:

Did you explain what you used for the furrowed fields, and,

do you have opponents to share this with?

Top notch work. 

[Stroezie]

Oh my it has been a year already hasn't it, how time flies...

The fields are simply corrugated cardboard painted with PVA and sprinkled with fine sand and then painted a few different shades of brown.It has been glued to a piece of plastic sheet to avoid warping.

As for opponents, sadly none so far. I have found a local club who play mostly Flames Of War. My plan is to join them under the guise of an early war French army and then to try and subvert some of them to VSF / Scifi

Would have been my first guess, though I'd have thought the 'mounds' would have been even larger. Other, other hand, I have seen some small corrugations in some cardboards.

How ungentlemanly! How devious! How delicious! ;->=

I have seen solo gamers going to this effort, but that seemed too sad for words.

Well, I guess it's been a bit longer than 2 weeks but anyhoo...

Finally managed to take some crappy smartphone pictures of my 2 latest red martian units

A unit of rifelmen




and some float platform artillary





I popped 2 stands into the lightbox in an attempt to get you a better look





Here's a shot of the red martian host so far




And now I'll leave you with a small preview of the last unit of red martians which I'll be doing for now...

the thoat cavalry



I still need to sculpt on all of the features but you can at least see the basic concept.

Btw. anybody have a good idea what to do with a dozen or so 6mm decapitated horse heads? 

[OSHIROmodels]

That's becoming quite the force 

No idea about the extra horse heads though 

cheers

[von Lucky]

Lovely additions.

I too can't think what to do with the heads. There's not many uses for horse trailers with two heads sticking out. (Unless you design some sort of racing game to get to the racecourse.)

[DivisMal]

Dude, you're making serious progress! I really like it!

[The_Beast]

No idea about the extra horse heads though 

I must be rapidly losing it, failing to hit 'post.' I had the solution, recalling The Godfather series of movies.

Leave them in 6mm beds as 'offers they can't refuse...'
