Privateer Press: New Releases – Martians Vs. Terrasaurs
The Martians are coming! The Martians are coming! Monsterpocalypse manifests martian madness–see what UFOs can do for YOU.
Because you can’t spell Unidentified Flying Objects without Y-O-U. Monsterpocalypse-wise, December’s thing is all about monsters vs. aliens, only instead of President Stephen Colbert–there’s a lot of plastic monsters and/or aliens that you can buy.
Today we’ve got a look at the Martian Menace and the planetary protectors from the prehistoric–the Terrasaurs, coming soon to a tabletop near you.

Saucers – Power Pods – Hunter – $24.99
Often the first sign of the invading Martian Menace is the eerie glow of an approaching saucer—just before a paralyzing beam emerges from its underside to kidnap a hapless victim or to deliver a power pod to facilitate the invasion.
Martian power pods are an ominous sight, each a simple but effective device that siphons energy from human cities at a prodigious rate to feed the greater host vessels.
The silent Hunter is an effective aerial killer, leveraging advanced Martian technology to attack on the approach from a great distance well before the enemy knows it is there.

Vanguards – Hunter – $24.99
Vanguards make up the bulk of the attack force sent by the Martians against Earth, swift fighters that fire disintegration beams to obliterate the defense forces trying to stop them.

Ares Mothership – $24.99
The Ares Mothership is a large Martian vehicle propelled by unknown means, and it represents the first extraterrestrial construct to enter Earth’s atmosphere in recorded history. Its powerful lasers immediately answered the question of whether alien intelligence would be friendly or hostile. As the vanguard of the Martian invasion of the planet, Ares Mothership prosecutes a campaign of destruction across the globe, securing valuable resources that it can transform into new Martian assault craft.

Carnidons – Spikodon – $24.99
Though dwarfed by greater monsters like Terra Khan, carnidons are among the greatest apex predators on the planet, capable of hunting in packs and possessing claws and fangs that can easily rend metal and concrete.
While other Terrasaurs close on prey to attack them directly, the cagey spikodon destroys from a distance, launching armor-piercing bony projectiles from its tail with surpassing accuracy.
Raptix – Brontox – $24.99
Among the swiftest and most agile of Terrasaurs are the raptix, smaller but still lethal carnivores that are noteworthy for their powerful legs and leaping ability, allowing them to intercept low-flying aircraft.
Brontox are herbivores and among the gentlest of Terrasaurs, bringing instead a stoic disregard and virtual immunity to small weapons fire, protected by thick hides and muscle mass. Brontox are sent forth to expand Terrasaur nesting grounds, protecting eggs until they can mature.
Terra Khan – $24.99
Of all the great beings defending the planet, Terra Khan is perhaps the most terrifying, a gigantic reptilian creature that embodies the rage of nature itself. His roar can send saucers falling to the ground, and his step can provoke high-magnitude earthquakes. The destruction left in his aftermath is an inevitable price required to obliterate those threatening all life on Earth. Yet no monster fights with more determination than Terra Khan—he has been seen avoiding stepping on fleeing civilians as well as moving to shield beleaguered G.U.A.R.D. forces.
Happy monstering!
