Hard to argue against Agis on this one dear boy.....
As you well know, I'm now doing 4-6, so you doing 1-3 ( or is that 3.1 - 3.6 ?) all in the same scale does make sense, and i have that republic gunship model, its really nice for the money and does look good....

I have converted the "Knights of Gaia" figures from the Space Vixens of Mars Line.  You need to clip off the blasters and replace them with a piece of plastic rod or wire and paint it appropriately.

Here is one of the figures:
http://spacevixensfrommars.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_18&products_id=264

There are other Gaia Knights scattered throughout the site.

I specifically bought these figrues to convert them to Jedi

What's the height of the humans in the SVfM range?

I fancy getting hold of some for my Laserburn games but I use mainly 25mm size figures (Citadel Spacefarers, Denizen sci-fi, Asgard sci-fi etc.)

Cheers,
Paul

I intend my Dreamforge Eisenkern to fill that role in my games of Blasters and Bulkheads.

Great picture of some of them found here.

The War Store sells them online, and I know you can get them direct as well (from Wargames Factory who manufacture them).

I used no small number of the models from the old Clan War lines with replaced heads when I did a project for a friend...

They are normal 28mm sized figures.  They are not "heroic" so I think they will be a little bit larger than 25mm, but I think they should still work.

Do you have any of these as I'd be very interested to see how they scale....

the old Galacta game figures turn up on ebay a lot, they were 25mm
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

I was going to say but sounds like you've already seen 'em!
The old irregular sci fi troops are sort of trooper proxies but pretty ropey when held against those DF minis.

They are still in production I believe - new owner of molds/rights to cast.

Gracias,

Glenn
