Recon is the only major line the Kuriotates have that does not yet have its own artwork. Therefore it represents a great opportunity for this multiracial state to "bring another into the fold". But the obvious question is, what should this race be? Preferably they would be small and quick, ideal for scouting, and not be too much of a hassle to make (I'm thinking of the lamias here). What do YOU think?

I could deinitely dig on letting them use rat or other vermin derived semi-humans. Could make for quite a few interesting abilities should the desire arise to make them non-standard in more than just the artwork

Decently dressed nymphs and dryads.

Dryads make good sense to me. Militarily, I mean. No other considerations whatsoever, really.

I'd definitely like to see Dryads as a Druid UU (maybe like a normal druid but an elemental and no alignment restriction?), but am unsure about the other nymphs for recon. could be god though.

Nymphs make pretty cool recon by their very nature (no pun intended), since there are a group for every feature of the land. If you want to know who travelled through a certain valley a few days ago, ask the valley's nymphs; or if you want to know who drank from a particular stream, ask the stream's nymphs. A mechanic where they were bound to a certain tile and couldn't go more than a few tiles away from it and maybe couldn't leave the terrain type they're associated with would be interesting. As would a mechanic with hamadryads being bound to forest tiles, which die if their forest is cut down.

i would like nymphs to be the recon line, perhaps being tied to certain terrain types like Dharma said. and dryads as the druid replacement would be perfect in my books
oh and please not rat people. i play Warhammer in there the rat people are evil chaotic enslaving chaos worshiping freaks of nature, and thus do not fit the kuriotates at all. its just silly

Well in real-world mythology lamias eat babies and centaurs are violent, drunken barbarians. The whole point of the kurios is that they acccept those that are met with violence in other lands

Yeah, last book I read (Darksword Trilogy) has some incredibly disturbing Centaurs. They were on a level worse than animal.

Rat people are fairly uncommon, so my vote goes to them. Plus they'd make perfect sense for an empire notable for large cities.

argh, no please not the rats. ill never be able to play the Kurios the same again! (i dont care that lhamia nad centaus are seen as nasty thing in other fantasy references.) ill always see ratmen as nasty evil warped chaotic Skaven

I think Oompa loompas should be the Kuriotate recon line.

Toss in another vote for ratmen. It makes sense thematically, as already pointed out. Plus, if this thread is any indication, it would make more people refuse to play the Kuriotates and make them more inclined to wiping them out, which are always good things.

It would be cool with a hobbit as a scout.
Yeah, a blend of hobbit and skaven is sort of what I had in mind (though skaven themselves didn't occur to me till Psychic_Llamas pointed them out), with a little more hobbit than skaven

I kinda picture either a Rat base Manticore (so just the head of a human), or a Rat base Minotaur (so just the opposite). Either could be quite interesting.

The former sounds chillingly terrifying.
