This is my first of the Martian Assault Tripods from All Quiet on the Martian Front manufactured by Alien Dungeon. This white tripod is a Martian embodiment of a battlefield leader. It's main weapon is a heat ray located in the "crest" of the tripod head. It also has a pair of tentacles for interaction with objects and people on the ground, and a pair of vicious claw like hands for close combat.
The scenic base was made from cheap blu tac "sealed" and painted with GW paints. The trees were spare plastic ones and the sign for Grover's Mill farm, a nod to Orson Welles's War of the Worlds, was a metal trench accessory from Early War Models.
As seen in the photo, my tripods will be able to be dismantled into several pieces for storage purposes. As I currently have very limited space in Bristol I can't have these bad boys on display, so I feel another Really Useful Box will be needed!
I have already started my second tripod, armed differently, with another scenic base. This time it's an abandoned mortar pit, and the weapon is a Black Smoke launcher, a weapon as feared as the Heat Ray...
