Further contribution to my own obsessions in binding VSF to some steampunk material (I hear you scream 'heretic!'), Rykors would be conceived as mechanical rather than organic.
Here's a first collection of pieces to start a Kaldane party: 2 Kaldane scorchers, held by puny Kaldanes and designed to fire plasma beam, melting any opponent; One Kaldan on Rykor (basicaly, some Privateer Press warjack with added tentacles) equiped to grap some food or guinea pigs among humans, and two mechanical constructs. In order to match Wells' images, I had the whole mechanical stuff painted in bright metal, a color I'll widely use with other Kaldan stuff (as tripods), but also for my red martian forces.
