Hi, Just thought you might be interested to know that I've been sculpting some
new Sa'vasku ships. So far there's a Battleship (possibly a SDN looking at the
size), something I've been thinking of as a troop ship
and a biomass fleet tender. They are a lot more 3-D than the originals
but still obviously Sa'vasku. The exact classes and final aproval is up to
Jon, of course. I've been thinking of doing some little boarding pods as well
(for the bio marines). Any requests while I've got the green stuff out?
Bearing in mind that planet killers will take a bit longer to sculpt:) Dave

How about skulpting a Shadow Dreadnought from Babylon 5? or maybe a few other
ships I been working on that I would liek to see in

While you are giving the Spikeys an update how about some 15mm ground troopers
for them? Also maybe some dirtside stuff as well? Sounds like you have the
star ships pretty well covered except perhaps for a recon ship to allow covert
surveillance of the younger races?

While doing the ships I had been thinking of having a bash at some bio
construct troops. Any ideas as to what they should look like and be equiped
with?

I have a few ideas.....and some of the rest of they guys in my group might
have more shortly, perhaps even a few sketches.....)

Well, they have an Escort carrier and a heavy carrier. A light carrier could
be an idea. I would love to see a new battledreadnaught (it is not the biggest
one..).

The tender ships are an excellent idea, and I would love to see
something (in role) akin to a scientific vessel like FT-416 for the
KraVak.

A small spacestation or battle satelite?

As for 15 mm troops: I think they would use some human-sized and
shaped bioconstructs with ranged weaponry. Beside those alien and bug shaped
constructs.

A friend of mine suggests this:

Perhaps a composite of several spices that nature never intended with
bio-dart throwing weapons.......)

Nice to hear from you. I would like to see some defense platforms or
static base type bio-ships - maybe a bio-shipyard or ship womb.

Boarding pods get my vote too.

Also Leech Pods and perhaps a representation for an Interceptor Pod attack

Well, they are using beam weaponry that is in certain way superior to human
designs (at least the ships). I presume they have something similar in
infantry portable version. Might as a special or heavy weapon

if not the standard.

I`m not sure about the bio-dart.

Another friend of mine suggests this:

Well being bioconstructs they should be specialized for whatever function they
are to fill. I am thinking of the episode of Babylon 5 when the living armour
took over the adventurer and turned him into a walking weapon and almost
destroyed the station..Something like that for a mobile attack unit would be
neat!

yes I'd been thinking of static stations. leech pods would be good too.
