Subject: Lower Tech Aliens for SGII
This goes back to an idea that I discussed with
Allan Goodall concerning the use of lower tech
aliens Vs standard Stargrunt troop types in a
colonial type setting......Think Beau Geste in
space.
I just ordered some Martian Askaris By Black Hat
sold in the US by Scalecreep minis. The reason
I went with Askari instead of the more primitive
Imperial Martians was I wished to up grade their
tech level to approximate earth 1920 to 40s. With
their uniform and with suitable weapons changes
this should work.
I plan to use these guys as low(er) tech indigenous
natives, insurgents, and mercenaries.....Should
get allot of use out of them. The other thing about
aliens set in the equivalent of our early 20th century
is I get to kit bash tanks etc. that I already have
on hand.....)
I'll probably get some of the Imperial Martians
later to be used as tribal auxiliaries, scouts etc.
I still need to order the FSE Colonial Legionnaires
(in kepis of course) from Jon......)
