(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
I picked up enough martian
colonial infantry for four such units. One I’ve already painted as the 2nd
Battalion Queen’s Own Martian Rifles (the Parhoon Rifles). Originally
I thought I’d do two in Khaki (as this one above) that would ostensibly be
British, but could be passed off as Martians in the service of just about any
colonial power. The fourth I’ve been planning to do in light blue tops and dark
blue bottoms to pass as Belgian Martian troops. Rather than doing a second unit
in Khaki, however, I’ve decided to do a unit in dark blue tops and red bottoms
and call them “Tirailleurs Martien” in French service.
I also have some High
Martians - at least one sizable unit painted and another to be
painted. I figured I could use them as per light cavalry that can pass through
(over) any other troops… I also have some Colonial
Martian Artillery and native
Martian Artillery for support.
What I really need to get doing
is Martian native troops - Oenotirians and such - as an opposing force. Though
I suppose I could pit any European colonial force against any other… with some
Maritan colonial infantry fighting along side.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Um… There are some WW2 US
Marines just needing some finishing touches on bases and some Great War British
officers under way… not sure about after that… perhaps the “Tirailleurs
Martien”, just to get them finished…
Fantastic quality and quantity of brushwork as always, Tim. Warm regards, Dean
