With the Felid Lion transport currently unavailable from Khurasan, does anyone have any suggestions for suitable armoured support for these Feline aliens?
Was contemplating Top Gun Productions but they seem to be gone too, sadly :(

I've been using Critical Mass Protolene vehicles alongside my Felid infantry. The smaller (Ayame and Ayame Khan) walkers are great as-is. The larger walkers have a bit of a canine head… I've been looking at the dollar stores hoping for some kind of generic Voltron toy. Figured I could chop that up to replace the head. :)

Nothing against the Felid transport though… it's a cool mini that will end up in another force someday. I just like to mix and match where I can.

Hey, just wait a wee bit more…..Jon mentioned the new Felix apc's are coming very soon……as far as armor support, I was considering the mecha option with either gun dam gashopon 1/400 or critical mass provolone walkers as above
Chris great looking felids, envious

I've been using the protolene light walkers as super-heavy infantry felids for a while now. Mondragon's vehicles are excellent and I intend to add them as well-- a different role for a different chassis.

I'm glad someone else sees how well these minis go together.

Anybody know if there was a small Happy Meal toy of the Thundertank from Thundercats?

I am using the Critical Mass Protolene Dominion vehicles which I think are perfect for them:

GZG's Kra-vak Grav armour has the right feel to it for Felids.

Cheers

Old Crow do a perfect 8 wheeled APC, with various turret options for about 5 quid a pop :) Thats what I'm using with Critical Mass Kaamados Dragmaa tanks for heavy support :) looks good on the table anyway :)

These look great and the clear base on the walker works well.

"GZG's Kra-vak Grav armour has the right feel to it for Felids."

HA! I gave those over to my Crusties, who will be using them against my Felids!

I have done the same choice as Clkeagle and Wellspring.

Ayame walkers looks so darn suitable to Felids.
Also in the search for tigroid/Kilrathi/Kzin head to replace canine head of Protolene transporter. I would buy whole platoon of such tigroid Protolene Tamaska/Fenrir Heavy Carrier.

Maybe we could somehow persuade Critical Mass to create Fenrir with simillar tigroid head?

It is a bit pricey, though – 20 bucks.

I have found also such even more pricey toys, but do not know if size would be suitable. Anyone knows?

I swear I've seen generic knock offs of those at Big Lots and places like that for a few bucks. Just haven't had much luck lately.

GZG 8 wheeled APCs for me. I use them as a merc force so I gave them a Afghanistan Stryker team vibe…

Yes, the new and improved Felid Lion is being cast now, and the approval casting is off to a painter so I can show off the new and improved turret!

The Felids are going to be getting a jetbike squad, and a lighter guntruck which will have a detachable heavy gun that can either be on the truck or on a separate cruciform mount. Two guns -- a heavy mortar and a twin barreled heavy autocannon.

A light mech is a good idea for them, especially as their Garn overlords are getting a heavy one ….

Light gun truck? Cool!

Thundertank! grin
