Cloudships of Mars revisited
« on: November 12, 2023, 07:44:39 AM »
On a rare trip to the UK, I attended the WARFARE show yesterday where the Werelords group were demoing their amazing looking game
"Cloudships of Mars revisited".  Not only did their table and models look fabulous, but what a wonderfully welcoming and enthusistic set of chaps they are..even before they found out that I am a fellow Space 1889 affectionado!

Thought I would share my pics with those interested, here at my blog

Thanks ever so!

I was about to ask why no one ever corrected me when I for YEARS I said Warlords, but I gather a name change happened when I wasn't looking...  ::)

I've tried to do the 25mm version outdoors with really ugly, greebled bottles and oblong plates, but I think, assuming I can find my copy of Miniature Wargames again, a recent purchase of Action Fleet Desert Skiffs suggests an American fleet. Ranger didn't HAVE to be a one off.

Also, thanks for the Woking piccies; I had seen images of the tripod, but never the rest of the installation. The sight of the 'ploughed' bricks was worth the price of admission alone! ;)

PS Primed by the blog's title and the mention of claret, my first view of HG in the distance on his plaza had me thinking it was a goblet in his hand. No matter; a glass was raised in salute!

Thanks Doug - a Mk 2 statue of HG should indeed include a glass of claret!  :-*

I'm not sure what the relationship between these chaps and the Warlords was/is either - what I do know is that they were wonderfully welcoming and my kind of wonderfully mad!

Perhaps not. Apparently, his 'bolshie' tendencies drove him towards 'moderation' bordering on temperance, though the quote I found included proscription against excessive opium, tea, and polite conversation, as well...
