Red Planet Miniatures : Welcome to the Red Planet

Mars is dying...

Mars is dying...

Not through fault or neglect or wicked reason, not even because of the Gods; though some would say this is so. Mars is dying because it is old.

For time beyond count, our world has floated with the orb of the sun god, basking in the everwarmth that it provides, the Martian brothers sailing around giving constant company.

The Ancients warned the death of Mars might be so. Long, long ago; before the Storm. It is said the Storm lasted for an age or more: I for one, do not believe this to be true even though the clan elders warn me against foolish words.

There are still some Ancient writings in the deep deserts for those who wish to learn and are willing to brave sandstorms and the creatures that live there. Most of our knowledge from before the Storm comes from stories told around the clan fires, told again and again, embellished ever so lightly with each clan teller so who knows what is true and what is not.

With each storm season, the Ancient houses and temples disappear and reappear so fast that is easy to loose them completely, Gods know how large their cites were or what final secrets they contain. Three whole clans have been lost searching for the chief city with no sign or call from them these long years past.

But now we have new troubles and concerns. The Earthers have come to Mars: to steal and pillage what they can and to take it away to their blue world. Curse them to the Gods! They have no right, no honour and no need to be here. Like parasites they come here destroying whatever they touch and leaving mayhem in their wake.

They must be sent back across the sky ocean to their blue world.

They must be stopped.

It must happen now!

Welcome to the Red Planet

Welcome to Red Planet Miniatures.

This is a new venture that will be bringing a whole new range of Martian figures to the wargaming market but also we will be creating a background and ethos for the red planet that will hopefully appeal and inspire.

The first figures are available and the purchased details are in the side bar to the right. Any questions or comments then please post them and we'll reply as best we can.

We will also be having battle reports and progress posts of things that will be included in the range, we will not be restricting ourselves to Martians but all will be revealed. Also there will be scenery posts showing what we are doing for terrain to bring the red planet to life.

We will have better pictures in the coming weeks and the ones below will be replaced but here are a couple to give you an idea.
