Yellow Martians are a possibility, their unusual fighting-style offering the possibility of an army based around Warband, although the unique nature of their air-defence is hard to replicate.Īs anyone familiar with the Martian novels can see, the armies adapt well to HOTT, and make for an interesting campaign (yes, we've done a couple). I'd like to do the Holy Therns, but the attached beasties are not easy to find figures for. I may just do another 'standard' Red Martian city, but without the Riders (just more Blades).
I have figures to do another couple of Red Martian armies, but am not sure what to do yet. They struggle against aerials still, but tend to outnumber other Red Martians, who rely on aerial navies, on the ground. But a throwaway line in the one book in which they appear suggested that they practised archery in warfare, so a couple of Shooters seemed viable. This was one of those armies which had the issue of how it dealt with aerials. The banths came from a plastic playset I was sent from the US many years ago.Īnother Red Martian city-state, but one at a lower state of technological development they don't have flier technology. I added shields using paper from a hole-punch. The figures are mostly Essex, from the Chinese Barbarian range. The two Hordes allows for a certain level of regeneration to save the army from defeat at a key moment. I opted for a mix of Hordes and Shooters, but concentrating on the latter. The illusionary nature of the bowmen screamed out for Hordes but this reduced their effectiveness, and the story makes no concessions in describing the Bowmen as being deadly.
But all is not as it seems the city has a small population and their armies are mostly mental projections so real that they can kill.ġ x Magician General (Lotharian Mentalist) They defend their city with a vast army of archers, backed up with trained Banths (Martian lions). The Lotharians are a lost city of the ancient White Martian race.
