I've bought the pretty miniature figurines' martians and I'm planning to include them as the arch-enemies of my venusian amazons.
I've only one doubt, how to paint them.

Here some painted martians and a swamp lord (the little martian) I've found in the minifigs website.
I like the paint scheme, but I'm considering if paint the skin with green color and maybe the armor in dirty metal, while the helmet with red color.
I've found another painted martian that could inspire me:


While I'm evaluating the paint scheme, here the PA league I've done.

Background:
Thousands of years ago, few martians survivors fled from their dying world after the last days of the Techno-Biological wars between Mars and Venus.
They found refuge in the planet earth, as their venusian enemies did too. There they continued to fight their unending battle againts the venusians. Finally, the leaders of the opposing alien factions agreed to sign a truce and hid their people in the depths of the African jungle. Here for centuries the Martians and Venusians lived in relative peace, with only occasional skirmishes. However, the increasing human presence in the vicinity of their territories is annoying the martians and they are preparing themselves for war. They know well that, although still holders of the technological supremacy, they are greatly outnumbered by humans so they are planning to steal the lost cloning technology jealously preserved from their neighbors venusian.

Thanks, I changed the names for my league, my idea is that these martians are the real founders of the ancient sparta (that later will be just lead by humans).

A special thank to Dozing Dragon for his painted martian (the second example I've included in the first post of this topic), I copied the idea to use some metal on my martians, hope you will paint more martians.  ;)
