Dragon Rampant Red Man Army, in detail.

  I promised closer photos of my Dragon Rampant Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoomian red army so here we go.

  First up are the Scouts, flyers, 4 points. The figures are all Bronze Age Miniatures' current release, except the left front figure, who is from the older release. http://bronzeagemin.com/sci-fi/ The low flyer in the middle is from Tin Man Miniatures, but is not a current listing. The other 2 flyers are from Shapeways, and suffer from the usual 3d printing problem of rough surfaces. https://www.shapeways.com/product/PED4V5D9N/pv13-barsoom-personal-flyer-28mm There is a base available somewhere on Shapeways, but I had some clear Lexan rod and clear bases, so used those instead.  The figures are not permanently mounted to the flyers. I only mounted half of the figures as some rulesets do dragoons in this fashion.

  These are my Lesser Warbeasts, 4 points. All of these figures are currently available from Bronze Age Miniatures.  The ulsio are described as being the disgusting color of newborn rats, so of course I had to go to Google. For those of you who are not familiar with Burroughs, the large creatures are banths, the Barsoomian lion. The ulsio are rats the size of large dogs, and are only found in dungeons. Sue me.

  We come to the Belligerent Foot, 2 units at 4 points each.  I went with Belligerent Foot, because the other two Foot units both have Shieldwall, not appropriate for figures without shields. Unfortunately, almost all of these figures are from the old release and so are unavailable, but he has new releases to replace, not recast, all of these. 

 

  These are the Heavy Shooters, 4 points. Once again, most of these are from the original release, but are replaced in the current release. The red men are not big on guns.

  These are Heavy Riders, leader included, 4 points. These figures are from the original release, and have not been replaced in the new release, so that favorite eBay thing, OOP.  I have an extra mounted figure should I wish to make the leader a separate unit. I also have a dismounted leader figure in case I find that having the leader in the only mounted unit a bad idea.

  Because these figures are so long, it is difficult to get good photos.  Here's one at an angle.  I never paint highlights on eyes, but the thoat's eyes are so large that the look rather bland without them.  The thoats look good painted, and from 3 feet, but they are nightmares with bad joints and lots of bad pitting.  Unfortunately, I got all my thoats assembled, and that made it more difficult to fill and file.

  This is my 24 point unit.  It's very impressive on the table and takes up a lot of real estate, as does the green army.  Their thoats are at least half again larger. The red man thoats are 5" (12.5 cm) long.  The green man thoats are 8-1/2 inches (21 cm) long. It's unfortunate that the first release figures are no longer available, but at least there are the slotta-based replacements. They are not as ornate, nor as varied as the originals, but the faces are better, the poses just as dynamic. The green men are the original releases, so quite ornate.
