More Movement On The Martian Front

Well, I guess it's been a bit longer than 2 weeks but anyhoo...

Finally managed to take some crappy smartphone pictures of my 2 latest red martian units

A unit of rifelmen

and some float platform artillary

I popped 2 stands into the lightbox in an attempt to get you a better look

Here's a shot of the red martian host so far

And now I'll leave you with a small preview of the last unit of red martians which I'll be doing for now...

the thoat cavalry

I still need to sculpt on all of the features but you can at least see the basic concept.

Btw. anybody have a good idea what to do with a dozen or so 6mm decapitated horse heads?  😈

Soldurios Shout Out!

Ok people, this is something a bit different from my usual postings, I'd like to give a shout out to what I think is a fun little project that has the potential to be something awesome.

It's called Soldurios and its creator Lonnie Jones is tabletop gamer like you and me with a big vision and the sense to start small.
He is running a Kickstarter to fund the release and further developpement of a small set of 6mm miniatures that offer a glimpse of the different factions to come.

Here's a few pictures he's shared so far

The normal grunts

From left-to-right: ‘Mayanki; Generic Soldurian, Yakuzatek, Generic Soldurian, Generic Soldurian, Celtican, Generic Soldurian, Yakuzatek’.

And check out these bio/nano enhanced super soldiers

6mm Soldurios Nanotech Elite Fighters

I think you'll all agree with me that the detailing on these is superb.
There's loads more info, some background fluff and even talk of an accompanying rule set in the future on the kickstarter page and some more in depth discussion over on TWW Here.

So, if you like what you see, head on over to the kickstarter and help fund this project that, in my humble opinion, has the potential to grow into a grand 6mm space opera of, dare I say, epic proportions ;-)

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stroezie.

Call Out The Guards!

And yet more red martian troops.
This time its two units of imperial guards,

  The melee unit armed with shield and spear

And a ranged unit armed with pavise and radium rifles

Here's a pic with the donor figure so you can all marvel at my converting skills ;-)

The left over pieces of the pikes were used to arm a unit of regular rifles,
hese's a sneek peek at that unit

More pics when they are decent and have some more paint on them.
Probably in a week or two as I'll be going camping with the kids next week so no painting then.

Cheers,
Stroezie.
