Attack on the railway! Mars - Feb 1891
« on: 19 February 2014, 01:20:37 PM »
We had a little bash last night in preparation for Salute testing out the rules having skiffs attack the train and the results were rather satisfactory.

It's not a full battle report but more a collection of pictures showing the progress.

The train 'enters' the table with the skiffs in close pursuit.


One of the skiffs closes to the train and matches it's speed and the Sky Martians on board start to jump over onto the carriages.



With the train not slowing down enough before entering New Victoria the Sky Martians get desperate with some falling to their deaths whilst trying to leap onto the train.





As I mentioned, not a full report but a taster of whats to come at Salute  :D

cheers

That looks bloody wonderful, mate.

One question though: Where are you getting this 'scab' labour from, as the Union was not informed about any 'backdrop jobs'....?

Well, if you won't turn up for 'work' then it's not my fault if the position gets filled  ;D

Lovely job :-* :-* :-*
Really like the picture of the rifles sticking out the window. Did they have anything to do with the failed jumps

Nope, just a beauty shot more than anything although at Salute shooting at the skiffs will help enormously  lol
