Mono Tanks Roll to War From Alien Dungeon
April 28, 2015 by dracs
This week, Alien Dungeon have released a new set of tanks for the British Expeditionary Force of All Quiet on the Martian Front, the utterly unique Mono Tanks.
Known colloquially as "Wheelers", the Mono Tanks are lightly armoured and incredibly fast, acting as scouts for the main expeditionary force. Of course, they have a tendency to topple over, but when you're fighting the Martians I suppose you need some fun.
Imperial Tanks
Along with the release of these Wheelers, Alien Dungeon have put up another set of more standard British tanks for pre-order.
Far more heavily armed and armoured than its mono wheeled compatriots, the Imperial Tank is made from a mix of steel and a classified material, giving it a 50 / 50 chance of surviving a blast from a Martian heat ray. Those are pretty good odds in this world. These tanks perform well on both roads and rough terrain, while their mix of fire power and defence makes them a versatile weapon in humanity's arsenal.
Are you a British general in this game? Which of these new vehicles do you like the look of?

I think those wheelers are brilliant, but a bit disappointed in the tanks. Here’s where the GW WWI aesthetic would have been appropriate. They look too modern.
That was mentioned during the KS but got ignored, result, I saved $300 not buying the British army.
Those Mono tanks really are spectacularly weird in the best possible way. As for the Imperial tank, the idea is that the technological development of the Bristish Empire was hugely accellerated after the first Martian invasion ended when the invaders were killed by microbes and the British forces found themselves in possession of so much Martian technology. The couldn’t understand most of it, and some of the experiments theya ttempted went disasterously wrong (they managed to accidentally nuke Liverpool into oblivion trying to work out how a Martian Radium Engine taken from a captured Tripod actually worked), but on balance… Read more »
I disagree @vetruviangeek . The Martians are using walker technology, so even with captured tech, there would be no logical progression for the home team into a WWII-and-beyond Christie-type suspension. And if you’re sporting a coiled gun, I daresay it would be hung with thick cables and big blocky magnets… in my own tech-progression vision of things anyway. Just the wrong look for me…more Fisher-Price than alien derived.
Those Mono-Tanks look great! 😀 I wonder how big they are though?
Those Mono-Tanks look rather interesting while those Imperial Tanks have solid design.
