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.
