As Historicon quickly approaches, I am rapidly trying to complete all the Martian units I'm contributing for the big 20 player Mars Extravaganza GASLIGHT game Buck Surdu and I are running there. Last week, I finally finished up my unit of 10 Tharks (six-armed green Martians). These figures are from Bronze Age Miniatures, and I really like their large size and dynamic sculpts.
There's also a lot of detail on the figures so, they were an ease to paint.

Excellent stuff there – looks like a ton of fun is going to be had with those figures and the paint jobs!

That is some really nice work. Would you and Buck please come to Austin and Millineum Con and run some games?

That's quite a … manly… John Carter.

Nicely done!

Very nice. The John Carter looks rather like a muscled up Malcolm McDowell to me.

Love em! I am a big fan of Green Martians. I started buying them back when Heritage was selling them.

Thanks,

John

Wish there were some good ones in 6mm.

Thanks for the kind comments, guys. Glad you like them.

Maybe some day. This summer we went to Origins, and next summer we plan to go to Nashcon.
