I think these Ben Siens’ sculpts* (?) have a decidedly “Barsoomian” red planet feel to them, don’t you think? 🙂

I’m really thinking of getting a few sets.  I already have lots of desert terrain for something “Barsoomian” like that. I even bought a red desert gaming mat from Urban Matz.  Now it’s time to populate those crumbling ruins with some ancient native “peoples”.

I think they could could look very nice on an airship too!  Thoughts?

Ooooh!   I wasn’t aware of that range.  Those look fantastic.

Even worse (for my credit card statement anyway) Xenos Rampant is due any moment now in my mailbox, and I was toying with the idea of a VSF force or two for it.  Not entirely sure whether the rules would be suitable for that, but as Mr Mersey’s other Rampant rules are quite flexible, I suspect so.

Appreciate the post Dan

Appreciated!  Had a watch and I think the amount of customization and flexibility built into the system seems very encouraging.

Just what I was thinking before I got to the line.

They look like they could just as easily March out of a Stargate or some other interstellar travel portal:

Not my scale, Dan, but those are wonderful looking models. I like the terrain ideas from the castrarunis blog too. Thanks
