Khurasan felids & CMG Protolene don't disappoint one bit, great minis . I called them Kzin as in Larry Niven's excellent books. Imagine a humanoid walking,extremely aggressive ,intelligent, brightly coloured feline , imagine that only warriors have the right to mate and you can imagine Kzin society. I painted the minis like this – white spray undercoat,Vallejo Sand airbrushed base coat,Windsor & Newton Peat brown wash,GW Ivory successive drybrushes . Then detail with Scarlet,Flame Orange,Grey & grey Blue. The Sand Earth basing is natural brown earth with pva, I envisaged these aliens as being desert plains creatures/mountain dwellers. Thanks for your comments. Z link

Nice! I have a bunch of Khurasan Felids stalking around somewhere, too. Bought to be Kzin (or Kilrathi, or Kzinti). |

So, do they use kitty litter in their bathrooms? And if so, I bet Zero-G must make a mess… Just curious. |

How do the Khurasan Felids and the CMG Protolene mix size wise? I'd love to see some photos of them together |

They hold it until they get planet side. They are VERY well trained. |

That's such specist humor. I wonder what they say about us. Probably things like, "You know that they don't use sand to dry it out, but just drop it out of their bodies and into water, don't you? And they can't even bend over to clean the splash up properly. Filthy beasts." |

Thank you my friends, Easily done Dragon, here it is…
Joking apart, you really should read what's written ( this is from the Lupus Wolfmen post ) " Humans usually give these 2 species, who don't have space travel yet , a wide berth " Having said that , both will make great mercenaries, imagine them in close combat. You know I always wonder what contact with the 1st intelligent alien species will be like. I mean we're our worst enemy , can't tolerate others who have a different opinion etc. Most probably we'll be xenophobic also,unless they're much more advanced than we are, then it will be a jagged little pill to swallow. z |

If first contact happens in my neck of the woods, the first question will be, "I wonder what they taste like" |

Welcome dragon, Stryberg.. that got me thinking… what if Aliens develop a penchant for say human ears or noses .. what then? & we become like farm animals to them ? Z |
