...because Mars has canals, not trenches.

Very nice! The weapons conversions are very steampunk. Working on my Hinterland trenchers right now.

Thanks!  With the weapons, one of the muzzles got bent in transport (No worries Mancha, it happens sometimes) and I hamfistedly broke it while trying to straighten it.  Since I wanted to make them less WW1 anyway, I just snipped off the muzzles on all of them and went conversion-happy.

NICE paintjobs.  Mine are still only basecoated.  Gotta finish the zombies for R3 of the LPL, then do my R5 Africa theme, and then I can get to work on my Trench Raiders.  I don't know how you're so prolific, Froggy.   :o

None of us can figure it out- I suspect some kind of pact with infernal powers, myself. :o

Beautiful work, Froggy. I also like the term "Canal Fighters" for a Martian unit. Top marks!  :-*

Why must my productivity have to be faustian and/or with infernal powers?

Nice painjobs, by the way. Th  trench raiders look much better once painted up.

Nothing personal Mancha.  :) I love your work, it's just that (for me) it's hard to get a good sense of what a mini looks like based soley on a picture of a primed or bare lead miniature. Once painted, though, all of the details get picked out and a sense of all of the mini's possiblities become instantly apparent in my mind.

I hope that explains my position without me coming across as a total jerk...  :)

Blimey, that was quick!
Great looking bevy of Deutsche mädchen. Loving all those flaxen pigtails... Nice colour scheme too...

If only you hadn't got all your LPL entries in so quick  ;)

Wow!

Nice job Froggy!

And yes, I agree, I imagined them quite different painted.

Very nice work. I may have to add a unit of these to my Prussians. How do they scale in with other manufacturers' ranges?
