    • Little lead men of valour
The London Times. March 12th 1885.

Recent photos have now been released from those terrible events caused by the Martian invasion of southern england last year. While our defensive efforts around Woking proved unable to halt the Martian advance on London. Further north a crashed cylinder was able to be surrounded by a detachment of the 24th regiment of foot lead by Lt Bromhead and assisted by Colonel Shaftsbury. It appears this cylinder may have landed off course, since it did not come down in the usual " tri pattern"  observed elsewhere in England.

See the full story here:

***UPDATE***
Eureka has finished the molds and the Martians are now available. Check eureka miniatures www.eurekamin.com.au website for official release.

Here are the pictures:

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

Corporal Jones? 'They don't like it up 'em!'? Did he previously run around shouting 'Don't panic! Don't panic!'?

Lovely looking Martian by the way. Top job!

Thats a really nice design for a martian   :-*

It (vaguely) reminds me of the Brain bug from the Starship Troopers movie.

Great looking Martian.

Something to consider adding to the 'must buy' list!

Fuzzy, I know it's probably something you've not arranged, but do you know if Fighting 15s will stock your range here in the UK as they do with Eureka's own products?

I'd love to get a few Martians  ;D

Cheers,
Ian

Pretty cool, and fairly close to how I imagine them, although I'd say that the eyes are too big, and the tentacles are in the wrong place (described as being in two bunches of eight [IIRC] in the novel).
Looking at the rear view, however, I’d say that the back end is near perfect.
I told you so. You damned fools.

Bah, if you wanted to make it a H.G.Well's copy, it wouldn't be hard to convert!

I have to say, I did think about SST...
