VSF - Prussian Army

Forces of Prussia on Mars.

Just a few pictures of my Prussian expeditionary force for our VSF setting.

This is a combined Human / Martian army for our campaign.  

Large forces of Termigon serve under the Prussian banner.  The promise of spoils and injured enemy troops for both food and slaves are all this cowardly despicable race need to be motivated to fight.  Although poorly trained and undisciplined the cannibalistic Termigon can prove terrifying in large numbers.  They attack smaller weaker enemies with a savagery not seen elsewhere on Mars.

Prussian special forces come in many forms.  The Elite Prussian Guard specialise in the extraction of important hostages.

Units of Prussian Grenadiers are tasked with assaulting hard to penetrate defences.  With satchel bombs capable of breaking apart the toughest of bunkers these troops lead any assault against a dug in foe.

Clockwork Cranks excel in tight confines where their armour is almost impervious to regular rifles.  Armed with devastating and gruesome close combat circular saws, mechanical pincers, light mortars, meat grinders and light machine guns these constructs are sights to behold on the battlefield.  

Leading them is the Command Clank that plays propaganda from the gramophone sealed withing its armoured chest. 

 But the Clanks are far from perfect.  Bavarian Wind-Up merchants keep the automatons moving with their giant brass keys.

Elite Prussian Mars Shock Troupen leap across the battlefield in semi-controlled flight.  Sporting rapid firing machine guns these fast attack troops can give a punch at almost the exact spot when needed.

Armoured Penny farthings with both light machine gun and light cannon are excellent troops for running dispatches between officers.  Their armour saving them from rifle shot as they manoeuvre quickly around the battlefield. 

Just like on Earth cavalry have an important role in the blitzkrieg across the red planet.

Although becoming rarer every year the war rages they still feature prominently within the ground forces of Prussia.

Hundreds of squads of infantry form the backbone of every Prussian army. 

Of course there are also a multitude of characters that have in one way or another contributed to the rapid expansion of Prussian influence on the red planet.

Artillery is also used in strength.  Essential for breaching defensive positions and for taking out enemy landships from afar.

Sea Battalion troops work alongside the regular Prussian infantry when they are not aboard their floating Aeronefs.

Following every army is an almost countless number of noncombatants, Chefs, Servants and Doctors are just a few of the professions on offer for those able and willing to make the long trip from Earth.

A sample Prussian Expeditionary force.
