The campaign for Earth's Moon is underway, with the Earth nations of Britain, Prussia, Belgium, Northern United States, Kingdom of Danemark and the Quar nation of the Grand Dutchy of Phobos sending major expeditions to the planetoid. Other Earth nations are also making themselves known in various ways.
For background of the campaign and the news reports check out Armored Ink where Alfrik reveals what he's willing to about the behind the scenes.
This campaign has some new additions from the Venus campaign, including a more expanded yet muddled diplomacy... which is both realistic and gets one thinking about the campaign more often than when just sending orders. I have to say, Earth is showing how primitive and xenophobic their race is, as it seems there is more aggression being leveled at the Quar than the human nations. It is almost as if these humans think they have more rights to Luna simply because it orbits their planet of birth! As the Quar of Phobos can tell you, the Barsoomians thought that about their moons and found out how wrong they could be!
This campaign also sees a lot of new character types to add to military forces.
I've built, -some converted- 10 new Quar minis for such characters.
One of them is this one, an inventive mechanic, called a 'Spark' in the setting.
I have to assume a Quar Spark is known as a Quark.

The mini is one of the Quar tankers which, in obligatory VSF fashion, I converted by sculpting some goggles for him. For painting I went with simple & messy, since he's likely going to be dirty from his work.
The base still needs some grass on it- I'm going the bases to match the rest of the army -not going to redo all the bases for the moon just because of the campaign! But I may wait to add the grass until the campaign is over.
