The Heroes Of Barsoom Join John Carter Of Mars
March 6, 2019 by dracs
Modiphius have some new releases for the world of John Carter of Mars, including the Heroes of Barsoom themselves.
The Heroes of Barsoom miniatures set is comprised of Princess Dejah Thoris, Tars Tarkas of the four-armed Tharks, John Carter's loyal pet Woola, and, of course, John Carter himself.
Each of these models gives a strong sense of the character, with Tars Tarkas being my particular favourite. With such a strange alien design, it could be so easy to come away with something a little goofy. Instead, we have a nicely detailed sculpt that shows off his martial nature.
As well as these miniatures, Modiphius have released a Collector's Slipcase Set of the John Carter of Mars roleplaying game.
The set contains the John Carter of Mars: Adventures in the Dying World of Barsoom core rulebook, as well as the Phantoms of Mars campaign book.
The slipcase is beautifully illustrated, demonstrating the frantic pulp action that marks the series.
Do you fancy adventuring across Barsoom?

Those look really good.
loves the film an the figures look great.
I loved the film and these are solid. Really wanna get them!
These aren’t working for me, particularly the ballet pose. Also, the alien looks like they just stuck a torso on a torso. It doesn’t look anatomically feasible for a four-armed critter.
I think the poses are reminiscent of the original covers and the art of Frank Frazetta, I love them!
Well I thought that John Carter was in a state of undress that would have Justin reachnig for those clippers immediately. Clearly this is a sanitised version in some of Douglas Adam’s jewel encrusted battle shorts by the look of things.
If you’d rather have these in metal then try TinMan Miniatures.
