Space Imps

 Last few vehicles have been printed, so I now have all the vehicles for the Astrodani force.

In the image above we have; 

• 7 x Infantry Transports (2 units of 3, plus a command)
• 3 x Tanks
• 3 x Rocket Artillery
• 2 x Anti-Aircraft

Battle tanks

Rocket artillery

So the next step is getting these guys painted up. After that it's some infantry to disembark from the transports. I've decided on the models (the Soriog from Khurasan, pictured below), but don't want to order them until I'm home (still in New Zealand right now). I've also written up some background fluff for the force...

The Astrodani

The enigmatic Astrodani are one of the few high-tech alien species humanity has encountered. They are often refered to as Space Imps, both due to their appearance and their chaotic, unpredictable behaviour. In one encounter an Astrodani force might suddenly appear and save a human colony from a Malroid attack. The next week they might just as suddenly make a targeted strike destroying three buildings from the same colony.

Biologically the Astrodani are greyish-brown skinned humanoids, with feline looking faces, short, soft fur covering most of their bodies, and two foot long tails ending in a distinct point. Their technology is significantly more advanced than Terra - roughly on par with the Serpents, but not as advanced as the Malroids or the Citadel. 

The Astrodani's random, often seemingly pointless actions are explained by their religion. They worship an ancient supercomputer built by an extinct alien civilization. Known as The Basilisk, the Astrodani obey any instruction this machine gives them without question. It is not known if there is some deep purpose behind its instruction that cannot be comprehended by mere human-level intellects... or if it is simply malfunctioning in some way.
