Time for a Monday Teaser! These are the "Concepts" for the Rangers drawn by (and to be sculpted by) Martin Buck  - even though there are only two in the Picture, there will actually be three Miniatures available initially - a second Right Handed Male in a firing Pose.

The history of the Organization that became known as the D-Rangers (or Dinosaur-Rangers to give them their full title) began pretty much before that day in 1983 when the Dino-S**t first hit the fan.

Originally the "Rangers" (as they were dubbed back in the old days) were the Staff at the first Dino-Parks - and their membership comprised of the regular Staff, Veterinarians, Paleontologists, Experienced Zoo Keepers, and Animal Behaviour experts hired to work at and maintain the Dino-Parks - when the chaos erupted and the Dinosaurs started roaming wild and free - the remaining government hired those many of the original Rangers to help monitor, subdue, and even capture escaped and wild Dinosaurs in an attempt to control the situation - though their modern Duties and Responsibilities are greater today - as the D-Rangers often Deal with Carrion Outbreaks and Rogue Mutts as well.

Over time huge areas of land were allocated to keep the Dinosaurs contained - there was too much to learn from them, too much benefit from them being around (medicines, food, leather, fertilizer etc) to simply go on a wholesale killing spree, even after the army recovered from the initial chaos of those early days - it was decided that the Rangers would be "in charge" in all Dino matters - "policing" those areas, and would have the last word over capture or destroy.

Years later, the D-Rangers (or just Rangers as they are more commonly referred to) job pretty much remains the same - but recruits now go through a rigorous Training Regimen on how to deal with Dinosaurs of all Types, Mutts, Carrion, and even Civilian Activists.

Being a Ranger is considered to be one of the Toughest jobs on the planet, as these brave Men and Women regularly risk their lives for Civilians and Dinosaurs alike - if there's a Dino problem, the D-Rangers are the ones called in to sort it; and wherever possible, the Dino's in question are caught and impounded - but sadly, it is common in the case of Carnivores that the animal has to be put down - often aggressively.

Though the D-Rangers have access to the best equipment and vehicles, more often than not they prefer to ride specially trained horses - for two reasons. Most Carnivores cannot resist horse flesh, so a lot of the time its the Rangers mount that gets attacked not the Ranger him (or her) self. Secondly, a lot of Herbivores are easily "spooked" by the sound of motor-vehicles - and are much calmer when the Rangers are mounted on horseback. More recently they have been seen riding the "Jet-Stream Motorcycles" - created by Varian Blackwood and produced by VB Technologies. The Jetsreams (as they are commonly called) are almost totally silent, merely giving of a slight hum or faint whine.

The dress code of such a loose organization is (as you could imagine) fairly free-style, in the USA they commonly wear suede jackets sporting their Ranger emblem and many wear Stetsons. In Britain, they again suede jackets - but some British teams also wear colour coded (red, green, blue, yellow etc.) Helmets so each member of a team may be easily identified during a conflict or roundup – the Brit’s helmets often have custom paint schemes and sport dinosaur designs.

No matter where Rangers patrol, what part of the world - or what mounts the ride. They all wear the same emblem, and have the same Motto - Humanitas Colimus (Humanity We Serve). So, whether you live in luxury inside a Cities Walls, or live the Humble life of a Shanty Dweller - remember the Brave men and women of the Rangers who help keep you safe.

PACK II is already "on the cards" and will contain a Lass, with two Head Options - and an Older "Officer" also with two Head Options . . . . ..

The Drawing of the D-Rangers, reminds me a little of the original look of the human pilots from the original Battlestar Galactica TV series fro the late 70s-80s. If these miniatures turn out like the drawing they could also have some other uses, in other sci-fi games.
 Now if you can also get some of the old style Cylons also designed you could have a Superhero Dinosaur Zombie Apocalypse Robot Miniatures Game.
