As with many of my sci-fi armies, the Avians are a collection of figures from various different ranges, loosely grouped under that heading as they are all bird-like inappearance.

Mad Robot's Harook are six foot tall bird-men. They are a lovely range of figures, full of character, and with some very nice touches such as the obviously-designed-for-Harook guns. The only problem, really, is that they have very thin ankles, and you have to be very careful not to continually bend the figures this way or that!

Joining the above are Khurasan's Hauk. This is also a lovely range that paints up really well. The 'wings' and the fact that they come with grav transports suggests that they should be the air mobile wing (pun intended!) of the Harook ground forces, and so that's what I have made them. Highly recommended.

By a happy co-incidence, Trilaterum’s Avian range has a race named the Haliaeetus who are almost identical to the Hauk in terms of appearance and equipment, although scale creep makes them giants compared to the Khurasan figures. Trilaterum’s Avian range also contains the Corvus (crow-like bird-men that I have re-named Corvids) and the Virganianus (owl-like bird-men) that I have incorporated into Avian mixed squads.

Finally, The Scene has a range of (Flash Gordon) Hawkmen who don’t fit in with any of my other armies, so are included here as allies for the more bird-like bird-men!

Top Gun Marketing's grav tanks are also a superb range, large numbers of which I have had languishing in the painting pile until they found a home. Well, now they have: as the famed egg-tanks (or grav platforms) of the Avians.
