Some things I did around the edges of the weekend: HSDF and ERRF forces. These labels were originally super saturated but the toner kept flaking off because of it and it looked awful so the graphics took a little revision.
Incidentally, I picked up some of the O8 “Drahh’z” forces which look terrific. In my universe, Drahh’z is one of the Batollic States, the outermost (in their view of the universe) and the one claiming territory including Alpha Centauri and (unfortunately) Sol. Drahh’z therefore considers itself responsible for “peacekeeping” in the Sol System, and will be intervening in the conflict on Mars as a third force – one with advanced weaponry and a developed culture of warfighting.
Most interesting about the Drahh’z miniatures is that they have pre-drilled holes in the bottoms so I can (and will) mount them on a wire so they can “hover” over their bases. Very nice touch, and given the density of the O8 metal, a very welcome time-saver.
Basing not finished, but this bad boy is already flying – a Batollic Draah’z “Swiftblade” battle tank.
Just as the forces of the Federal Mars Colony use superheavy autonomous tank units to control vast regions of the planet, the warrior castes of the Draah’z Assembly use massive mechs, classified variously as “Rōnin,” “OHMUs” and “Striders” for heavy battle line duties. The below is a “light” version, massing a mere 14,000 tons and only about eight stories tall.
The Mars colonies are all members of a loose confederacy, banded together for self-defense, given their distance from Earth. They make extensive use of autonomous vehicles, like this, a Mark III “OHMU” Autonomous Armored Vehicle. Shown next to a pair of L2 Laser Tanks, the main battle tank of the Mars militias, for scale.
And a slightly sharper yet less stylish photo. Unfortunately, the images lose definition when I shrink them down for the web. Such is life.

Some flash grenades and an insect charm will sort them out
