I have been working on various projects to help support the releases of my own games on the Wargame Vault. Today, I am focusing on creating adversaries for my game Under the Martian Yoke. It is a survival horror game set after the Martian Invasion of the Orson Wells' broadcast. The game is designed to be a solo/co-op/versus experience as the survivor's of the Martian attack struggle to escape Martian territory and to freedom.
The game has a number of adversaries that survivor's may encounter. The biggest and most dangerous are the Martian Tripods of various types. Thankfully, I have a variety of Tripod models from the now defunct All Quiet on the Martian Front. However, there are a variety of other tripod models available on the market as well.
In addition to the the Martian Tripods, there are smaller foes as well. That includes various drones, animated human corpses, modified animals, and even wild, feral dogs to face off against. I have a few drones from Alien Dungeon and plenty of Irish Wolfhounds thanks to my Dark Age Irish army from Wargames Atlantic.
Last time, you may recall that I was working on building up my adversaries, and created various cadaver troops to oppose the human survivors. These foes are re-animated human corpses operating on Martian technology. These undead troopers roam the Martian control zones to track down and kill lone or small groups of humans. Worse, they can flush out humans for the Martians to capture for their own nefarious purposes later.
In addition to reanimated humans, the Martians also reanimated various animals using their advanced, Martian technology. It is unclear if the Martians actually know the difference between humans and animals, and if they even care. These re-animated animals are known as Ferals. They will viscously attack any humans they come across!
You may recall that I made two Ferals out of Irish Wolfhounds from the Wargames Atlantic Dark Age Irish kit. Plus, I also use these as wild dogs. With some green stuff, and paint they ended up looking like this....
My initial plan to expand my Feral collection was to get a box of plastic barnyard animals and convert them in a similar manner. However, a fellow hobbyist was taken by the idea of barnyard astro-zombies and decided to design some for 3D printing! You can find them on CookAndrewB's Thingiverse page here. There is a ton of cool stuff, so check it out.
You can see the entire barnyard of terror and how they were created on my blog here:
