Crooked Dice Game Design Studio have released 32 new miniatures in their 28mm sci-fi Colony 87 range. The figures are a mix of alien, human, and non-human colonists, including the Amphirans, The Pale, The Masque, and the Homo Canid.
Colony 87, otherwise known as the planet Cerberus, is on the edge of known space and is home to many - including citizens representing the three non-human sentient species of the Pan Prosperity (the Amphirans, The Pale, The Masque) and the genetically engineered Homo Canids, all of which are the subjects of this latest batch of releases.

The Amphirans : Technologically brilliant and commercially shrewd, these ‘space frogs’ would be formidible commercial rivals to humanity were there genius not tempered by their nature/ Convivial and gregarious, Amphirans see trade as a game of chance played with boisterous frivolity.
The Pale : The Pale are far less numerous and extrovert. Blue-skinned, tall, and often delicately built, they are a grave, secretive, semi-nocturnal species. They populate dark and duskworlds, or tidally locked planets, where they occupy the twilight ring between eternal day and perpetual night.
The Masque : The Masque are the most enigmatic of the intelligent species encountered by humanity. Apparently mute, these giants communicate using hand gestures and postures nuancing other movements. Six-limbed and governed by complex behavioural protocols, they are always robed and masked.
Homo Canid : Not technically aliens, but these are the descendants of the genetically engineered Dog Soldiers uplifted by Vandestine gene splicers in the early years of the colony.

Although, or possibly because, it is far from the core worlds and largely ignore by the Authority, Colony 87 has grown in power over the decades and is now the most important centre for trade, industry, science and arts in the sector. Millions have flocked to the colony - from the rich and powerful, to the ambitious and the desperate.
