Do you have Martian terrain for your sci-fi forces?

Rich Bliss12 Dec 2016 11:57 a.m. PST

Not Martian per se, but I do have reddish lava field cloth for my SF games.

I do have Martian terrain, which I prepared for Frank Chadwick's Space: 1889 Mars Needs Steam game.

Several pieces were made of pressed paper packing material, which gave me nice old, weathered, 3-sided pyramids, as well as some ancient ruins with flat tops that could accommodate figures.

They were a nice medium brown color, and I misted them with black and sand yellow spray paint. I think I gave them a bit of black and rust brown washes, as well.

Yes. I have terrain tiles that I made, along with elevated mesa and rock pieces. I have a painted tech canal from Armorcast that I themed for Mars. I have a few buildings that work for John Carter in 28mm. I have others that are more 'futuristic' for pulp and hardcore sci-fi games.

Yes. Cratered base board, polystyrene hills and a settlement made using Matakishis wonderful colony building plans.

Red and rust-red boards and cloths with rocky outcroppings to match. It's enough to skirmish on. Unfortunately, right now Barsoom has to make do with "space gothic" (mostly GW) ruins for lost cities, which works but never feels quite right.

The plan is to add a silted-over canal in the near future, but I haven't found the architecture I want. Ideally, I want a "low canal" town on the order of Leigh Brackett's Jekkara, Valkis or Barrakesh, and a for sure ruined city, complete with amphitheater for human Jetan games. Probably not next year.

I think so.

"Red" mats, a town's worth of buildings, and a variety of flora.

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut12 Dec 2016 6:46 p.m. PST

Somewhere… packed away in storage. Has also passed as Eastern Egypt and American Southwest.

I made some "Martian" sections for my 3-D DOOM set, but the "red Martian dust" on them doesn't look right, so I may redo those…

*boo-YEAH!* Dan is back!

Seriously other worldly, though not seeing any faces in the cliff, like the first image on the thread.

Wish I'd seen those last posts; I'd have suggested Chinese dragons as semi-deities.

Lol. Glad to be back. And getting a little better each day.

That has a nice sandworm crossover tie-in. Hmmmmm ….
