The single pose of the Troopers annoyed me a bit, since the material is easy to work with I started a conversion.
I cut off the helmet and calves and repositioned the head and lower legs a bit, result is shown on the left mini below.
In the end it was - IMO - not really worth it. Looks still too similar.

I also painted the lower part of the mini more white on this mini, since some people seemed to be irritated by a slightly dirty Storm Trooper - shock, gasp!

Below both Troopers are shown together with the Vader miniature.

First player miniature, the mighty and equally fierce Wookie warrior Gaarkhan... Very easy to paint mini, basically just a wash and a bit dry brushing.

And as usual more pics on my website: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/star_wars.html

Well I can see the difference in the pose. I like the look of your Stormtroopers a lot. That wookie came out nicely as well. So how many of the figures from the box have you finished so far?

I think the poses are different enough as well

Painting is as good as to be expected

cheers

Thanks folks, i am too slow on this endeavor (being distracted by Robotech, Epic, Warbods etc), so right now only the shown minis are done...

I never thought about chopping and changing the minis around. Great idea and execution.
I received a 3d printer backed through kickstarter the other day. Used it furiously over the weekend to print off a rancor from Thingiverse.

They look good Agis!

Rather than cutting them up, have you thought about dunking them in boiling water and re-posing them that way? Might be quicker, and also help to achive slightly more exagerrated poses.

I tried it, you can make some minor adjustments. It was too little for my taste.

The FFG plastic is firmer then the bendy pre-paints or Reaper Bones material. You can actually scrape off mold lines on these, unlike the Bones or Mantic stuff.

Agis · « **Reply #53 on:** May 10, 2015, 09:20:30 PM »

Agreed FFG plastic is stronger, but why was it impossible to get mold lines away from Mantic?
Worked for me with a sharp hobby knife.

Michka · « **Reply #54 on:** May 10, 2015, 10:42:12 PM »

Oh I can cut the mold lines off the Mantic plastic, but scraping them off left a furry edge usually. Not an insurmountable problem but annoying at times.

Those imperial tactics are really nice sculpts. They seem much more dynamic than the wotc ones.

The spectacular paint jobs helps as well.

I'm sorry to hear - I thought they'd be like the Mantic Deadzone stuff which goes rather floppy and soft when heated, making it possible to twist thinner torsos and bend limbs quite sharply. Ah well.

Lovelly project and painting.

Female Droid (or Droidess?) M4R1A Bot by Bombshell Miniatures, I love the mini! Also a very nice Metropolis homage.

As usual more on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/star_wars.html

Brilliant metallics!

Lovely sculpt.
One for 'The List', I reckon.
