Critical Mass Games' Protolene Khanate are a race of what appear to be dog-headed humanoids whose troops split into three different types: Scouts, Hunters and the elite Predators. Their infantry support units are based not on wheeled or tracked vehicles, but on two-legged walkers of different sizes: the Ayame "light" battlesuits and the Marrok "medium" battlesuits. Even heavier support comes from four-legged walkers: either the "Fenrir" assault walker or the "Tamaska" transport walker.

The three arms of service - Scouts, Hunters, Predators - are clearly split in terms of role, weapons and uniforms. The Scouts are in a two-tone green camouflage, with their elite Snipers adding brown to the mix as well. They carry carbines, with the Snipers carrying specialist sniper rifles. The Hunters are in a lightish green monotone uniform. They carry full sized rifles, and their walkers are equipped with "artillery". Finally, the Predators, the close combat specialists, carry pistols and are uniformed in bright purple:  bold and awe-inspiring during the day, almost invisible at night! That's apart from the Marrock medium walkers, as I used luminous paint in the highlight.

To the core Protolenes, I have now added two more ranges of scifi “dog-men”. The first are Khurasan’s Raug, available as part of their Soriog Empire range. These are lovely sculpts, but more like 20mm tall. The second are Darkest Star Games’ Garrhul. These are true 15’s and have almost exactly the same shaped heads as the Raug: it’s easy to see that they could stem from the same genome.
