The Zykhee fit seamlessly into a John Carter aesthetic (and are a good size fit with the Bronze Age Green Martians). Deformed enough to make a great Hormad.

Never thought of that, interesting idea

It's a bit late here in the UK, so pictures will appear tomorrow, but lets just say a huge package turned up today...

@ nandrin:

Nice, I never realised there were so many Kykhee models (even allowing for you conversions, or course! ;) ).

For my part, I finally got my hands on the Shard force book last week! Lots of reading to do...  8)

 I think the Zykhee have three sculpts per unit type apart from teh Ka'Char and Stalkers.

 Converting them would be a good way to add more variety but the poses dont really lend themselves to that.

 Great to hear that you picked-up the Shard book Major_Gilbear.

@Major_Gilbear: Thank you! As manic_miner said, there are mostly three sculpts per unit type. Enough variety for small scale skirmish, which I prefer anyway. For me the Zykhee are more like an elite force, and I always liked the Wakanda approach  :D.

The Shard did interest me too, very nice ideas in the forcebook. A different way to play, I think they need some practice.

The Maelstrom has provided ladies and gents!

We've pretty much the entire Starter sets worth of minis (save a Onehorn I forgot to buy) and as an added bonus there's OG packaging! Once I've worked through my Void Skirmish and Undead bits these will hit the table.

 Nice start to your project.

 Looking forward to seeing these all painted up.

 Should have time to get another Onehorn before you start on these ;).

Nice to see the classic packaging, just a shame you couldn't get a hold of the box but this is defo the 2nd best thing. I look forward to seeing them painted. Are you planning on playing through the starter scenarios? Battle report?

Rules and force books were waiting for me when I got home. Really impressed with them. Very professional and some cracking pictures.
