MEF update

[Thunderchicken]

The Mars Expeditionary Force is finally taking shape. I'm just awaiting reinforcements from Black Pyramid in order to get them finished. Anyway, here's the first lot of Royal Marines with HMAS Nimbus lurking in the background. Not all Marines will be armed with these assault rifles; along with Ether weapons only a few will be assigned to each unit.   
I'm still undecided with the bases as I want to use them for campaigns other than Mars. I'm thinking of placing removable flock or litchen on the bases depending on the campaign.
I also haven't made my mind up what flag I want to give the standard bearer, somethiing historical but different, any ideas?



This is my favourite figure from the bunch, the signaller will keep comms open between the ground forces and the supporting nefs:

[Sterling Moose]

Superb, hopefully I'll get to meet these on the table some time soon.

[Skrapwelder]

These look great. Excellent work on the conversions.

[Thunderchicken]

Thanks chaps!

I'd love to take the credit Mike but the head and weapon options come with the figures from Black Pyramid. I've got some heads with goggles too and still deciding what to use them for.

[Malamute]

Great work Cheeks, (even though I hate the figures)

[Hammers]

Great,TC. Will we be seeing little Blue bothered Men of Mars to?

[Chairface]

Looking great so far TC. As for the flag, are you sure that it has to be historical? Maybe a white ensign as a base and a red planet in the middle, maybe with a crown over it and VR to differentiate it from a Japanese flag. Just a thought.

[Mors]

Very nice work . You have made a much better job of the signaller than me, I wasn't sure exactly what i was painting!

My force may meet yours on the Red Sands , though we are off to Venus and Mercury first.

[Ray Rivers]

Love those marines.   

And the signaler is especially filled with character!

As for the flags... check out Warflag.com

I found this one in the War of the Spanish Succession section...



Right bottom is the one I like... but they have a bunch on the site for many different wars.

[Thunderchicken]

Oooh thanks chaps

Great,TC. Will we be seeing little Blue bothered Men of Mars to?

This can be arranged and they can leave little blue prints all over the Martian sands.

Mors, any chance of a pic or two of your forces?

Ray, thanks for the link, that flag does look good doesn't it.

Chairface, good idea. I was thinking of something similar for a colonial militia but your idea is better.

[OSHIROmodels]

How about using a union flag but with Britannia in the middle. Bit of fiddly painting but would look great.

(Love the figures    )

cheers

TC...

How do the Black Pyramid minis compare to other ranges suck as Ironclad, Redoubt, Foundry and other ranges you use for your VSF force in size and height?

My next force will possibly be British. Or maybe more red blue coat Americans.

I love those helmets with helmet spike and gas masks!

Keep going with the Americans. You can never have too many in one army!

[Burnt65]

Yes, more Yanks.
One day we shall rule the universe!

[commissarmoody]

Yes, more Yanks.

Yes! Muahahahah 

Are they planing on comeing out with any other ranges? like Prussians or Martions for that matter?
