Martian Overseer

An Overseer Tripod is as tall as a six-story building and the largest Tripod encountered to date. While the internal workings of Martian society remain a mystery, it is possible that the Overseer Tripods carry within their enlarged carapaces the leaders of groups of cylinder clusters and chains of redoubts. Overseer Tripods are not often encountered, but when they stride across the battlefield, even the bravest of men have been seen to tremble in fear. They are studded with Heat Ray projectors, including an especially large and powerful weapon that human troops call the Sun Gun because of its incredibly bright yellow ray. The Sun Gun blasts through and melts anything it touches. This devastating weapon is capable of destroying practically anything in its path with super-concentrated heat. Experience has demonstrated that the Sun Gun takes time to recharge between blasts, giving human troops a brief chance to counterattack this vast mechanical monstrosity.

Overseers are accompanied by drones, which ride within recesses in its carapace.

Overseers have been known to hurl their drones towards the enemy. Upon impact with ground, the tough robots pick themselves up and scuttle forward unharmed.

Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.
