Some expeditionary soldiers go to explore an abandoned martian town, to find some martians are there.



The expeditionary force are just Perry Zulu war british, with home service helmet, and cammo trousers. And the martians, the useful  Wargames Atlantic lizardmen. In a nice pale blue. Because I am tired of green lizards, and in mars things can be different.

Here is the link to the after action report, in spanish, but can be translated by google easily:

Thank you, I was trying something different, I have the idea of red coat with cammo trousers since long time ago, and I used some spare spures to make that idea real.

Bravo! A ripping good yarn, indeed! Love your terrain and buildings. The walls look like foamcore - what did you use to cover and texture them with? Cheers, Jeff

Thank you, well the big ones are pre-painted from gale force9.


The small ones are resine from micro art:
 

And for the painting, I do not recall exactly the colors, but for sure the acrylics I use for basing and scenery, in this case I presume this one:

Quite enthralled by it all as well!

Quite shocking oversight as to the the tunics! I fear the Question Hour may be quite lively!  ;)

A very creative choice to use the lizardmen for the Martians.  A nice change of pace.
