All Quiet on the Martian Front Preview 3


The Response to All Quiet on the Martian Front has been great! Thank you all very much.

Besides another look at some pre-production models, the big news is that we are going to do a Kickstarter. More information can be found here at a website we created just for All Quiet on the Martian Front:
This week we show off some of the preproduction work on the Martian War Machines and a note on “Technology”:
Before the Martians starting using human cadaver slaves as foot troops to root humans out of deep cover, they made extensive use of Drones. Now Martian Slave Driver Tripods have both types of troops at their disposal.
Martian Scout Tripods are a bit faster and more nimble than the common Assault Tripod, but their Heat rays and armor are less. They are used to spring ambushes and find pockets of main human opposition. Often the forces they uncover are attacked by Martian Bombardiers, either with H.E., Black Dust, or Green Mist. After the humans are suppressed, the Assault Tripods move in.
The Martians may be mental giants, but they are biologically simple creatures with no real digestive system. They gain nourishment directly from the blood of a semi-intelligent herbivorous biped on Mars, but those creatures have not been adapting well to earth’s gravity and different atmospheric conditions. The Martians have turned to finding substitute creatures - humans. Harvester tripods hunt out and find humans and then process them into the nutrient fluids the Martians need to sustain life. 
Components: Resin, metal, and plastic miniatures. The first plastic Tripod kit is already well on its way!
 
YOU can get involved now:
We have finished the Alpha testing on the game play and it’s now in Beta testing BUT we are encouraging anopen discussion of the game, the miniatures, etc so you get a chance to shape it. The play testers are on the forum too and it will be interesting to see the ebb and flow as we finalize the game!  You can do this on our Forums HERE.
We will be listening…
You can find more work in progress shots here, and we plan to update every week:
More coming very soon.
Thanks!

I have been watching this as it's got 15mm and freaking martians!  hehe, it almost also seems like a cool way to just get martians and play with people who have all their FoW stuff sitting around.

WAY cooler looking than Fanticide . . . too bad this wasn't the first Alien Dungeon offering . . .

Far-stretching, endless Time
Brings forth all hidden things,
And buries that which once did shine.
The firm resolve falters, the sacred oath is shattered;
And let none say, "It cannot happen here".
