All Quiet on the Martian Front

[dexter]

A few more bits painted up for All Quiet.


Some more Mk II tanks


The next tank is loosely based on Robert Delaunay's cubist work.

Very nice execution.

some more bits;
Drones remotley controlled anti infantry mini pods.

tripod stood in/on something


a more normal tank camo

and another camo pattern for the red weed. This one is loosely based on Bomberg's Mudbath.

These are great. I like in particular the tripods and the different camos on the tanks.

Thanks
Who knows how the Martians see things. This means you can try some really experimental camouflage.

Here are a few pics from our 1st game.

The Martians line up , to win they have to get at least two pods off the table.(there's a additional pod just out of shot)


The Martians advance and start to cross the bridges


The human tanks charge forward with all guns blazing



The lead pod explodes


The humans lose a squad of tanks and intantry but the Martian bad luck continues as a pod on the other other bridge also explodes and takes a second tripod with it.

The Martian drones swarm forward and destroy two heavy human tanks and some rough riders.

At this point in the game the Martian had two tripods close enough to make it off table on the human side. Victory would certainly come to who ever gained initiative next.  The humans succeeded and again managed to destroy another tripod as the slaver controlling the drones exploded. drone


The Martians suffered in this game by getting bottle necked at both bridges ,they didn't fancy crossing the river directly. They weren't helped by Lady Luck who clearly favoured the humans all night, their dice rolling was spectacular . The other thing we learned in this game was just how dangerous machine guns are .

Bomberg Tanks is great!

(if you ever do some Americans, you could rock an early style jackson pollock, pre drip.)

[dexter]

All the tanks have been American so far.
Do you have any suggestions as to which  early Pollock might be suitable? I'm only familiar with his later work.

Something like this


It's not historically accurate but i think a tank in these sort of bright colors might look amazing.

[dexter]

I had a go at reproducing a Pollock but it didn't go very well. I decided to use the top section of the Pollock MK III as wreckage.

[von Lucky]

Maybe a black or brown wash over it might tie it together with some edge highlighting?

[nic-e]

I like it, but i think a wash to tie it together might help Glad to see you're sticking with the abstraction theme!

[dexter]

It does have a watered down black wash and in reality it doesn't look as bright or clean .I may try and take another photo that doesnt look so washed out with light

[dexter]

This is my Clamp tank ,the camo pattern is based on Thornton Willis's 'Juggernaut' It's a modern piece but i think it fit in .



Also here's my Red Martian ,he's not completed he still needs a skull necklace and some skeletonal bodies for his head. But he's ready for tomorrow's game. The Red Martian is supposed to have a special dazzle weapon which is why the model has a central orange led and also a flickering yellow one above it.


enjoy

Great stuff so far. I love the bizarre camo overall and the clamp tank and walkers are especially fun.

Where are these from?
