After so many WWII vehicles I needed a break again.
Time for two more Star Wars Minis, Count Dooku and a Sith Apprentice.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Count_Dooku_and_Droids_scenic.jpg)
Count Dooku by Knight Models and Softplastic Droids - by WotC
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Sith_Apprentice.jpg)
This model is inspired by some of the Sith dresses used in the SW-TOR online game. The mini is an Infinty Reverend Moira, left arm is from a YuJing Zhanshi Hacker and the Lightsword is just a plastic rod.

Lovely!!

Thanks guys for the nice comments!
After finishing the Fate of the Jedi series, playing some SW-TOR AND seeing the awesome SW minis collection of Scotty, I am really interested in SW again.
BTW - I really think that many Infinity minis can be converted into GRWAT SW minis, I have a Gran Bountyhunter based on a PanO mini on the table right now!

I'm so very much flattered. Agis was my inspiration for picking up a brush and painting miniatures. He is the undisputed master in my mind. What impresses me so much with his work is his uncanny ability to paint flat, featureless areas and make them pop. :o
-
Lovely work.
-
You make me blush guys...
And Scotty, the sheer amount and careful execution of your SW minis is worth mentioning! So keep it up!
-
Great work Agis! Just think one day you'll be able to field those minis in a game of ViDe sci Fi!

Yes, yes, I am on it...
In fact I am: The rules for robots are already done, Jedi like characters can be handled as heroes like the ones in my old Back of beyond book. In due time...
-
Beautiful as always, Agis. :o
Cheers

Great miniatures with great painting. I love the use of the Infinity miniature, I have a few for the same purpose.
-
Two more models to fit into my SW range...
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Bounty_Hunter_and_Robot.jpg)
Bounty Hunter and Wardroid
The Droid is from Pig Iron, the Bounty Hunter is an Infinity model with head swap. IIRC the head is a Hasslefree female human head.
-
Hi
This is great !!!!
I can't wait to see more
cheers T
-
Great work, Agis!
How I missed the original Dooku post......
???
Superb reds on the original two and great use of alternative minis for the SW universe. Very imaginative.
Thanks for the heads up on the Pig Iron Droid.
I have been looking around for one or two of the classic Rogue Trader Robots, but they go for silly prices.
This fella looks close enough for my needs.
Cheers!
:)

Looking great Agis! :D
You know, looking at the bounty hunter and Sith, I was thinking that it'd be great to see you tackle a new Infinity army! It's been a *long* while since you did your Yu Jing force, and the models have improved a huge amount since then... ;)
-

True - my Yu Jing force is badly neglected.
:?
But to be honest I am still following Infinity closely, for me the full rulebook was basically too full (of rules) and I lost a bit of interestt as far as the rules are concerned. In addition my own rule writing kept me quite busy.
BUT - where aer today's Infinity minis better?

Very understandable! Also, the rules are more complicated now (with the addition of fireteams of various types), but the online Wiki is a very helpful resource in getting answers quickly.
BUT - where aer today's Infinity minis better?
Well, just compare the old/new Shaolin Monks or the old/new starter set Zanshis for example.
New models are fiddlier, but generally much better detailed, proportioned and cast.

Ah got it, but this is not a good thing for me. :?
The "old" Infinity models were already on the "too much detail" threshold for me!

Well, I wouldn't say "more" detailed, but "better" detailed.
For example:
(http://giftsforgeeks.org.uk/uploads/images/Infinity/Yu%20Jing/Shaolin%20Warrior%20Monks%20Combi%20Rifle,%20Chain%20Rifle.jpg)
(http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/catalogo/280311-0035-azul.jpg)
And also:

(http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/catalogo/280355-0343-azul.jpg)
And whilst some of the parts are fiddlier, there is also a move towards making some things simpler/easier to assemble - for example, the fins on the back of the Hsien are now in little strips that slot in instead of the old ones which were all individual.
Anyway, I've derailed enough now, so I'll leave it there. If you get the chance to see some of the newer models in hand though, I think you'd like them! ;)

15mm Star Wars!
(http://www.adpublishing.de/15mm_Clones_Gunship.jpg)
Revell Pocket model Gunship (prepainted and under 9,00 EURO!) that was then repainted, aged and slightly converted, Clones by CMG with Micromachine Heads.
The Critical Mass game minis I used are these:

I got the idea from here: http://gunnerswargamming.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/15mm-test-stormtrooper.html (http://gunnerswargamming.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/15mm-test-stormtrooper.html)
Works like a charm.

Lovely agis. Keep meaning to commission some 15mm and 25mm non-clone heads for various projects. These look great.

I would buy a lot of "Not-Clone" heads in 15 and / or 28mm.
;)
-
:-* :-* :-* Great stuff as usual!
I would also be up for serious amounts of 15mm clone trooper heads!
FFF
Anyone know how the risk clones would do for head swaps?
-
The resin why some one hasn't already made some none clone heads is beyond me :D
-
Highlander Studios are producing, soon I hope, 15mm Stormtroopers. Still waiting on the details but should be good when it happens. :-)

Finally finished my next SW mini.
(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Gran_Bounty_Hunter.jpg)
It is one of those minis that stand almost forever on your table...
I bought the mini when Infinity was brand new. I then made a head swap using a Space Marine head (I did not liked the Infinity head) but decided later to use a Gran head.
2 repaints and rebases later the mini is done...
And all together, the "Troublesome Three":

Pretty cool converson
-
A very clever idea with a lovely pj.
:-*
-
A very cool conversion, and a surprisingly good fit for the Gran head! :D
-
Speaking of that, were did you get his head from?

From the bendy WotC SW Minis.

WOW. Love the Gran character! A simple yet awesome-looking conversion. I remember blasting hordes of those guys on Nar Shaddaa in "Dark Forces: Jedi Knight"...
