Now here‘s a weird war/alternate history that’s worth developing! What if the Americas achieved independence not as a league of republican English colonies, but a union of English, French, and Spanish under a Christian monarch, who later contends with the Old World powers over the frontier worlds of Mars and Venus?
That’s all I have on the idea, alas!
These are from a Kickstarter I backed before my days of 3D printing. This was so long ago I was even playing 40K at the time. Oh well, better late than never.
I initially intended these to be used in the Xiandao campaign as a special mounted unit from Conestanz, since they vaguely resemble my Strato-Hussars regiment in their headgear, but as I repainted them I decided to abandon the red and green color scheme and go with the blue and gray on black you see here, whereupon I came up with the Martian Lancers idea. I will still use them on Xiandao, of course.
Are these for something like the old "Space 1899" game? I never played that, but there were a lot of miniatures made for "Victorian Sci Fi" back in the 1980s and 1990s so it must have been popular. RAFM and Ral Partha all had (and still have) extensive mini lines for that game!
