As savage as a pack of wild wolves and as cunning as a fox the K'hiff are not to be taken lightly.
Based on the great figure line by Denizen who supply much of the world , wail Stone Mountain Miniatures supply USA, Canada and Mexico. Picks can be seen at Ainsty (links at botom of page)
General K'hiff Rules : Pack Mindset ; regardless of pack size the K'hiff only take a morale test at 50% loses , not at 25% loses for large squads (8+).
Mobile Hunters ; allows the K'hiff to use the union fall back rule in champains.

Alpha Male Force Commander
The road to the top is a long and bloody one , and the K'hiff that makes it more than earns the respect of his fellow , his word becomes the law of the pack.

Sly like a Fox : (+15 points) This ability adds +1 to all K'hiff Initiative rolls during the game as long as the Alpha Male lives , if he is killed this becomes a -1 to all K'hiff initiative rolls.

Rogue Male Master Hunter
Some K'hiff can not work within the main pack but will still go to war with their fellows , most die very soon being lone warriors in combat with large numbers of the enemy , but the few that make it become deadly and effective gorilla warriors.

Savage Reputation : (+10 points) This Rogue Male has such a deadly reputation with his enemys that they must pass a GUT test to charge into melee with him (a failed test will stop short of contact and may use his remaining MPs to do anything but enter melee with the Rogue Male) , once in hand to hand combat his enemies will be too busy fighting to bother with further tests from this factor.

Notes

I'll be posting picks at my web site soon ...
Denizen
Stone Moutain Minatures
Ainsty

Bazill Wraithbone says:They look so good I had to make up a list for them ... I havent got any yet (but they WILL be the next force I build) , but are probably closer to 25mm than 28/30mm ; Though being aliens if they are a bit smaller than the human figures it should not make much a differance ... I also havent read the books but based the list on my impretion of the figures alone.

Bazill Wraithbone Says: After reading a little bit about the Kif (who look a lot like the K'hiff *wink*) im thinking ill re-make the K'hiff list or make a second list for the Kif ... but I have yet to read one of the book with them in it ... feedback ? this is all i have to go for the basic Kif at this point.
"The non-humanoid K'hiff are religious fanatics engaged in a holy war or Jihad to conquer or convert the galaxy. Not much is known about the K'hiff. No one is sure where they come from, only that they follow a Mahdi. Each clan of warriors (Ansars) is led by a priest/commander called the Emir, who demands complete, unquestioning devotion and loyalty. The K'hiff expect no quarter and give none." Any other info , like troop organisation , sub-leader types / names , special charicter suggestions , ect ... would be helpfull.

ArgoGames says: Y'know, I always thought they WERE just rip-off figs based on Cherryh's work, but seeing the photos I'm not so sure. More canine/lupine than I thought. Might make good Vargr for Traveller too.
Rich

Bazill Wraithbone says:  I actually have 2 Vargr i picked up in a Traveller alien box set way back ... they are even a bit more canine/lupine than these figures ... And i just herd from Chud Pearson (a very nice and helpful fellow) that the K'hiff figures , allong with most all the Denizen figures are around the 28mm scale ...
"All the Science Fiction figures (including K'hiff) are around the 28/30mm size. Some of the early Fantasy ones are a little smaller, though still more than 25mm, but they grew a bit over the years!"
So they should fit right in , allong with their other scifi lines ...
