Thats what I wanted - I wanted to field something different .

Yep - I haven't detailed the eyes yet.	I have 3 others in different
attitudes for variation.

No, the eyes came loose - I didn't notice the had come loose , so eager
was
I to take a snap....

Quite right.  The Z'Meg is shown with pointy tentacles, at least half of
which will be better anchored

A bioweapon.  I have 3 types at the  moment only one of which is shown
(not
too clearly).	I'm working on SG2 stats for the Z'meg at the moment. I
think Z'meg weaponry is multi functional - ie. mode a:= pulse rifle,
mode b
= PIG, taking an action to switch modes. Done more sculpting than
thinking,
though ;-)

Heh heh. I was inspired by Weed Killer's Elf-like asparagus - wait till
you
see my Carrot Troopers !

Many thanks for all of your comments ,
