I have been making a concerted effort to paint figures that I already have rather than buying new ones. Together with this, my gaming buddy, Steve, and I have set ourselves the goal of painting one project a month and then playing using the newly painted figures in a game in the following month. This month I have focused on Martians for a game of Soldier's Companion next month and have posted a few pictures of the figures on my blog:
http://ooh-shiny-complex.blogspot.com/I hope they encourage you to get your own Martians out and use them. The next step will be to get the cavalry I need and paint up the rest of the Martians I already have. The next step after that will be the construction of a 15mm Martian gunboat to provide air support, together with some German walkers to provide ground support. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of 15mm Sky Galleons type Martians gunboats?
Cheers,
