Only half of my set is complete. I'll share this half for now. White pieces are as follows...

I'd have an eclectic mix and attempt to include the human element for a change. This implementation would fuel friendly gaming taunts of "I've got your Memory Singer!" It also recognizes the treecats as part of the overall scheme of things.

Manticore:
Pawns: Treecats only, with their identity tastefully etched on piece.
pawn 1: Nimitz
pawn 2: Samantha
pawn 3: Sharp Nose
pawn 4: Lionheart
pawn 5: Sings Truly
pawn 6: Monroe
pawn 7: Ariel
pawn 8: Hipper

King: Thomas Caparelli
Queen: Honor (subject to change)
Rook: HMS Fearless (CA-286)
Rook: HMS Fearless (CL-56)
Bishop: White Haven
Bishop: Terekov
Hexapuma (as Knight): Marine wearing battle armor on back
Hexapuma (as Knight): Marine wearing battle armor on back

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Doh! Thanks Dauntless. I almost made that mistake several times. I wanted a cat from Grayson as well, so I edited it already, thanks to your eye. There are just so many significant cats to choose from. Odysseus and Magnus just missed the cut.

Queen Samantha
Bishop Morgana aka Sings Truely
Bishop Sorrow Singer
