It's bows and arrows against the lightning....

Some day soon my All Quiet on the Martain Front order should arrive.
Having play tested the original rules in the kickstarter campaign, I can't help but think that digging in will be the order fo the day for the Human forces and these defences seem to do just the trick, another purchase from the guys at Daemonscape.



Well detailed and good castings with no signs of bubbles, they are a quick and easy way to represent dug in troops and only took an evening to paint up.


My plan is to retain the traditional Victorian style and period from H G Wells classic novel with a little bit of Steampunk technology rather than diving straight into the 1914 2nd Martian War.
As a child of the 70's it has to be Jeff Wayne all the way.... 

Enjoy....

  6. I made some slit trenches a couple of months ago but looking at these I think I should have gone along the same lines just doing a half front as they look very effective.
    Finished off with some great painting Stuart.

    1. I figured these might be a little more flexible in gaming terms Pat.
      I guess time will tell :-)
