Mars is a Warriors World

Mars is not known as the planet of war without reason.

For from the dawn of civilization, the men of Mars have been warriors first and everything else second.
 

Thes mountain warriors of the Altobarbbaro Clan are famous for their battle frenzy where they will often throw down their weapons to take on their enemies in brutal hand to hand fighting. For they glory in the sense of smashing the bodies of theiur foes with their bare fists! 

Thes are metal pieces I painted in the late 1980's, for my Space 1889 campaigns.
