Does anyone know of any good feline models that could be used as Kroot for Tau?

Basically what I'm looking for are some leopard/cougar looking models in ~28mm size that aren't wearing a lot of armor. I have seen Advanced Tau Tactica's guide on converting Beastman Gor heads, but am hoping not to then have to convert an entire body over. Alkehmy makes some nice feline models, but overall they are much to expensive to be building a squad from.

Doing some conversion work is fine (i.e. they don't need to have rifles/pistols, and figure reposing is likely okay too), but my Green Stuff skills are not such that I'd want to be sculpting most of the body for 10-15 models.

Reaper miniatures have a range of tiger/cat headed people as do crocodile games aegyptus era models.

Also try looking for were-tiger, bast, bastet etc in google.

Good Catgirl miniatures are rare
Best start probably is Wargods of Aegyptus, Basti fraction:

And Infinity provides the doctor :

I've been looking at D&D War Drums Miniatures HUNTING COUGAR as a possible mini to chop and repose. However I'm not sure if the scale would be quite right.

Reaper does make some possible big cat models that could also be chopped/reposed. I'm not terribly sold on the Basti models as a whole. I'd assume avoid the human hair, and want something more actually "cat/feline" looking.

Actually I found someone that has the Alkemy pieces at a somewhat reduced price, so I may pick some of them up. Physical feature wise they are almost spot on for what I'm looking for. The 100 Kindgoms minis was a good call too, I may have to think about some of them.
