OK, it is not a Kilrathi walker, but I will use it in this way.
One of the example armies in my upcoming book is a SF Catmen army.
(See: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/wing_commander.html and http://www.adpublishing.de/html/planetfall_vide.html

The army is basically based on Khurasan Felids, the Protolene Predator Assaultsuit is fitting nicely IMO.

The Kilrathi walker is from Critical Mass Games “Protolene Predator Assaultsuit”, the other minis are Khurasan Felids.

Wow.. just wow! Not only are those miniatures great, but you get more detail on your 15mm than I can on 28!

Thanks!

OK, more on the soon finished Kilrathi themed 15mm SF army.

Kilrathi landing pad (resin building from Critical Mass games with printed roof) with Drahlti MkIV (upscaled version by Dreamfoundry). The printed roof is from Dave Graffam Paper terrain, I simply added the Kilrathi symbol with Photoshop and faded it in. It was then printed, laminated and glued to a sheet of plasticard. After that some weathering here and there and a matt varnish.

Those are brilliant…Been looking at getting into 15mm for some time, so thanks for the inspiration!

**Pacific**

Very, very nice. Love the terrain piece as well, and a great example of how a muted colour scheme doesn't have to be dull.. wonderfully executed

**AAN**

Thanks folks!

Ah, my favorite punching bags of all sci-fi. Very nice looking models.

You'll excuse me while I nuke your planet now please

Holy mother of -!

Are these the same Kilrathi from the Wing Commander PC game series by Origin?

If so, +1 internets to you sir!

That is indeed a Wing Commander Kilrathi fighter ship (one of the variations of a Dralthi). As they are somewhat borrowed from the Man-Kzin books (paraphrasing),

"The Kzin would learn why man had so long ago abolished war, because he was so damn good at it."

This so makes me want to pick up some Confed fighters and paint them up.

Thanks folks, as said above it is indeed a Kilrathi fighter:
"Kilrathi ground forces with Drahlti MkIV. (upscaled version by Dreamfoundry) " as seen in Wing Commander III and IV.

And one more, this time a Terran base under attack by the Kilrathis:

The Rapier is from Shapeways Terran Fleet Supply; Humans and 6-wheeler by GZG.

I sneaked this and more pics into my latest book: http://www.wargamevault.com/product/123481/.

This is awesome stuff. I remember my older cousin played those games back in the day. "Chalk up another kill for the maniac!"

That human fighter and ground crew are tots amazeballz!!!!

Sorry, just saw that phone commercial with James Earl Jones and Malcolm Mcdowell and had to say it

**Maniac_nmt**

The rapier and ground crew look really nice.

Have you tried any of the Prophecy era ships? I'd like to pick up some Wasps, a Vampire or two, and maybe a Devastator.

The Wasp being my personal favorite fighter across any of the Wing Commander series. Nothing like strapping a booster rocket to fighter and tearing through space.

I wonder if anyone does Descent: Freespace models...
