Black Hat Miniatures' latest offerings in 18mm VSF are out:EMP304 - Martian Ghost ArchersEMP376 - Imperial Martian Thought Projectorhttp://www.blackhat.co.uk/
My thanks to Sir Tas for the heads up!
The Martian Ghost Archers are fine figures but, to my mind the Thought Projector
has the most outstanding potential as a deck gun!
You sir are an evil genius!
ReplyDeleteWell it's a thankless job but, somebody has to do it!
ReplyDeleteThey would work as ship armament..)
ReplyDeleteA battery of thought weapons - now THATS a Broadside!
ReplyDeleteI was toying with this idea,
ReplyDeleteconverting these to Maxims
and use the Martian Askari
infantry with German officers.
On a converted to steam Martian
screw galley.
Two story line possibilities
here one it's German Martian auxiliaries craft.
Two, it's a Martian craft of
a city state allied to Germany.
I'm leaning to the second..)
So sort of a German version of this:
ReplyDeleteThe Ah'ny uthar is a Martian ship on an uprated hull, retrofitted with a steam engine. It carries Martian main ordinance: a heavy gun to the rear and a Rogue gun to the front. Assistance has been provided by the French who have installed the power plant and added anti personnel weapons and have some of their crew on board. It is similar in design to the Texas and the Ranger but has an extended rear deck section and more powerful engine.

Pretty much...)
I have 4 Sung Chinese
ships that didn't fit
into anything else but,
they will work with a
new rigging as a Martian
canal ship. I'll crew
them with a mixture of
High Martians and Askari.
They have a mix of weapons
also. I should have them
done this week.
