This is so true. Professor Ebenezer Von Stypher-Dyke appears to be the only man alive who has ever heard the sound. In his 1891 Volume "My travels on Mars" he recalls vividly how the Sky Martians would mimic the sound of the winds and when they made their war cry it was like nothing he had ever heard before or since.

"I pity the poor fellow on the receiving end of the Sky Martian attack" He wrote. "The war cry such as it was he believed would disorientate the target and leave them in a fearful state unable to properly defend themselves. "Several times I witnessed my Sky Martian friends swoop from the skies on their fast moving skiffs and just before making contact with their enemy they would in unison let out this piercing sound, a high pitched hissing whistling noise, almost deafening to my Earther ears. It would leave me disorientated and giddy for a minute or so".
 
It appears with each Sky Martian clan there would be a slight variation on the tone and delivery of the war cry, but in each case the result would be the same, chilling to the bone!

You know you need to make up rules to reflect this now, dont you?
 :D

Finished repairing and tarting up a City Martian watchtower and signal beacon. Didn't need much fortunately  :)

The beacon was originally stuck in the top of the tower but it was a bit unwieldy and prone to damage so I did a separate base for it.

Makes a lot of sense to separate the beacon. It’s also a nice piece on its own.

Great pieces of terrain. Fairly simple yet very effective. Love the marble signal light in particular.

I may have missed something, apologies if so, but who makes the figures?

GreT stuff. I enjoyed slaughtering, sorry subduing your Martians yesterday and will enjoy burning the watchtower. :D

As Oshiro modelterrain says, they're his own martians and simply the best around IMHO

Thanks for telling us about those Martians.  They look fantastic.  I wish they would make more.
