Ooo, me likey.

Is it awful of me that the first thought I had was you could mix them with plastic Daemonettes as the females?

They will hopefully be ready in a couple of weeks time cast in metal.

As for weapons the Sky Martians do not use firearms, so these will be supplied with a mixture of pole arms and blades. Their fighting style is to close quickly to hand to hand combat and dispatch your enemy face to face...

Through here for now! when they are ready, and then a dedicated website sometime after Salute.

Weapon shots when I get back from work  :)

Finally got the photo sorted for the weapons and also a couple of shots of the skiff mock up  :)



There are still a few details that need refining for the skiff. The 'eye' at the front is a harpoon launcher and the little platform at the back is where the 'pilot' will stand.




Figures and weapons off to the casters tomorrow  :D I'm getting all excited  ;D

cheers

Nice figures. I can see these being used for anything from VSF to Future wars. Either us invading their world or an alien invasion of earth. Depending on how they are armed Aliens vs Cowboys, Aliens vs Vikings, maybe even Atomic Cafe Alien invasion.

Nice clean sculpts, James!

Can't wait to see a couple of the troops "put together."

I'm sure they will look quite awesome and then the question comes up... how do I get them to Venus  >:D
