A Rending of Falcons - Unit Spotlight: Clan Jade Falcon

Birbs. Big green birbs. And my second oldest still-existing unit, thanks to the star of Elementals that were painted by a great guy a long, long time ago. I went with basic "Falcon-flage" per the Jade Falcon Sourcebook for the generic "can be any Galaxy I need" force.

The original plan was to have a decent representation of staple Falcon designs, including those used by notable Khans or Galaxy Commanders to fight against my Wolves, or to run the Dragon Roars/Twilight of the Clans scenarios. Later, as the force was used more, I decided to expand the overall Falcon-ness with a Binary of Jihad to ilClan designs, as a nod to where the universe was heading with Malvina, and then as the Cat plastics became widely available I knew I needed to expand again because they were producing too many iconic pieces. Plus the first solo/co-op play product, ACES, is Falcon-themed, so a Trinary of Omega Galaxy was sketched out and then painted, with a Trinary of ilClan-era Raptor Keshik on the drawing board for when the ACES and plastic Falcon faction packs start dropping.
