Martian Hussars

Description

These figures are from Hinterland Miniatures [link]

I painted them based on the Victorian side-story from the Narbonic webcomic [link] wherein the main characters build a bathyscape to the moon, get hijacked by Venusian fish-men, and end up in a Martian camp full of amorphous shapeshifting duplicates of the main character's mother.

I never know what to do with historical units - I can never figure out the colors. Thus, I added breathing units (to allow them to fight in places other than Mars) and painted them as made sense at the time.

If Hinterland ever produces sidesaddle-riding cavalry figures, those are getting a pointed saddle-blanket and mounted on basilisks.

Brilliant!

I've been meaning to pick these up. Maybe when I get out of the Giant Stompy Robots mood...
