what does the name mean/come from Im Khurious?

Something about Khurasan, I guess… Unless you were asking why?

Way back before Khurasan were as prolific as they are (he is) now, the website said something about producing "armies and enemies of Central Asia", for which "Khurasan" is geographically appropriate. And his very first range were Khurasanians.

That's right, Gur Khan, and even now many of my historical armies still fit that description. But then I made some space aliens as a lark…. As for the name: link My small avatar is a representation of arguably the most famous building there, a Samanid mausoleum. Samanid Iran was sort of an Islamic successor state to the Sassanid Kingdom and a period of considerable cultural achievement.

Yes, you did, including an entire series of nonhuman troops in the service of a Neo Persian human civilization interestingly enough… Leland R. Erickson Metal Express metal-express.net

Any reason why focusing on Central Asia, Persia, and such?
khurasanminiatures	12 May 2014 10:24 a.m. PST
Because it's interesting to me I guess is the best answer?

It's obvious. Khurasan has tapped some sort of ancient rite power and this is why they produce so well so fast. Today in miniature, tomorrow, the world! I, for one, welcome our new Khurasan Miniature overlords. :)
