Hi guys,

I'm not even playing this game yet but I was looking around at the Mongoose site and suddenly noticed a fleet I could have sworn wasn't there last week. It's the Dilgar! Those 'nice' harassers of the League of Non-Aligned worlds.

If you haven't seen them yet, check out their minis!

Oh, and sorry if this is actually old news.

Oh my. I like the look of those ships!

Very Cool!!

Just what we all needed another cool looking fleet.

This game is just TOO cool. I haven't gotten this fanatical about something since 40k.

Were are they going to publish rules for it? IIRC in the fluff the Dilgar were sort of like hairless Kilrathi/Kzinti being feline and genocidal.

This is only a guess...but...

Dilgar Fleet Book
(Due for Release in Jan 06)

And so it begins..... the game is pretty cool. The models are very cool.... but my complaint about all these games is the constant creep of merchandise. I guess that is why my first love is boardgames...

The only episode of B5 in which a live DIlgar appears is "Deathwalker". The last surviving Dilgar Warmaster, Jhadurr, is a biogenetic weapons expert who has been sheltered since the end of the Earth-Dilgar war by a Minbari Warrior Caste clan in exchange for her "expertise". She creates a serum that confers virtual immortality (against disease and old age; catastrophic damage like getting shot by a Vorlon warship will still kill you). Earth offers her sanctuary, but in transit to the jump gate she gets shot by a Vorlon warship and is killed.

The Dilgar are a feline rice, more cat than lion like the Kilrathi. Not too furry.

And as to merchandise creep, yeah, that's a problem for those of us on limited budgets. That's why I try and stick with one army/fleet/force. I have Necrons now but the only other army I've played in 40K is Eldar, and that's going on 15 years now.

I always liked the Dilgar ships way back when AoG first released them. I may pick up one of the cruisers for a display piece sometime.
