I finished my slaver tripod a few days ago, but now I needed something for it to command. So, time for some drones!
The drones were actually quite a challenge to assemble. Each one comes with seven small and very detailed pieces. I had to use modeling clay to hold the pieces in place so I could glue them.
Once assembled, I painted them just like I did the tripods. There was no way to fit an actual light into something this small, but the day-glow paint on the ‘eye' worked almost as well.
The drones are armed with light heat rays.
And the terrifying reaper tentacles!
All in all, a fine addition to the Martian host. |

Are they plastic or metal? |

I'll have 15 more drones and 9 stands of lobototons for your slaver to control in tomorrow's game. |

Might be an overload on the poor Martian! |

I didn't know the drones were available. …. |

I'm awaiting my big box of second wave stuff that will include a big lot of drones, both legged and hover (plus my danged Slaver Tripod). Can't wait! |

Outstanding. What company makes the doughboy casualties? |

Scott, Looks great!
have you gotten a game in yet?
I'm a little disappointed in their stats.
As far as I can tell three drones has the same firepower as 1 element of HMGs. Second on the Casualties, where are they from? |

The casualties are from Blue Moon. They are a tad bigger and huskier than the Alien Dungeon figures and they aren't wearing their gas masks, but they have a nice selection of poses that I'm using to add some variety and for special purposes like this. And no, I haven't actually played in a game yet. :) So far I've just observed and helped with the rules and taken pictures. We have a big game planned for tonight and perhaps I'll roll a few dice. |
