This week I completed two 10-man GASLIGHT units of Ironclad Miniature's Martians, as well as a ruin constructed from some styrofoam packaging.
The ruin was made from the top half of some packaging used to ship wine bottles in that fellow HAWK Greg Priebe gave me. I thought it had a neat industrial look to it, and since it was partially broken when I got it, I decided to break it up further and make a ruin.
Also coming off the workbench this week were the last figures remaining in my two 10-man Martian units for GASLIGHT, using Ironclad's interesting Martian figures. I really like these figures with their kind of Pathan-inspired look and their unusual breathing apparatus and masks. I will use them as some sort of tribal hill Martians, and their unique appearance will help differentiate them from my other Martian units from Bronze Age Miniatures

You've done a great job on the painting.They look they would catch anyone off guard. |

Nice job. I keep thinking they look more 'post-apocalyptic desert raider' than 'Martian.' But they are nice looking figures all the same. |

Chris,
I hope it was only the packaging that was broken, not the wine bottle! 8^) You mention painting them in yellow/orange/red. I don't know of any particularly good reason that Martians would necessarily see the same spectrum of visible light that humans see. Maybe they only see yellow/orange/red, and not blue and green. Maybe they see yellow/orange/red and one or two more primary colors further along the spectrum. Just speculating. Grelber |

The post has forced me to look at Ironclads site again and to use my ill treated platic card again.I've gone for some of Ironclads bold Martians (MAR05)with muskets to add to my armies. |

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I really like the look of their figures. |
