RAFM Miniatures brings you the world of Space:
1889. A world filled with scientific wonders, strange civilizations,
international intrigue, and, of course, adventure. These miniatures
are set in the 19th century at the height of Victorian
colonial expansion.
The 19th century saw the birth of
science fiction, and the works of the early masters of this genre,
H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Arthur Conan Doyle, still have
tremendous appeal. Their speculations about interplanetary travel
and alien civilizations were based on sound principles of science,
as it was then understood. Since then we have discovered that
principles like the “luminiferous ether,” then widely accepted
have no real foundation in fact.
But what if they did? What if instead of
quantum mechanics and relativity, there was only “the ether”?
And what if the fertile, brilliant mind of a young inventor named
Thomas Edison had turned its power to harnessing the ether for
science.
For centuries the dark red mystery of Mars has
excited the imagination of humanity, and so it was little wonder
that Edison chose the red planet as the destination of the first
interplanetary ether flyer expedition. He did not expect the planet
to be inhabited? Martians come in two forms Canal Martians and Hill
Martians. The Canal Martians are the more civilized of the two and
the most highly advanced technologically.
RAFM Miniatures thrusts you into this era of
science fiction. Your tabletop now comes to life as you command your
colonial era British red coats against the fiendish Martians. Use
local Martian levy troops to conquer their less civilized cousins.
Join us as we open a whole new planet for the conquest of Victorian
expansionism.
All the European nation miniatures in this line
are sculpted historically accurate for the period. The Martians
figures are just one presupposition of the adventures that may be
awaiting man on the red planet.
