Need a near future type driver for a Halo Warthog (28mm)
« on: June 16, 2017, 10:04:44 AM »
I'm planning to buy some near future type troopers from EM4/Copplestone and I've got a McFarlane Halo Warthog to provide some support. Thing is it needs a driver and possibly a gunner. I'm willing to do a bit of conversion but I would like a base figure with legs and arms in an appropriate position for the driver.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Not my picture, the McFarlane is on the right:

Victoria Miniatures have seated legs - bottom of page:

And a quick search through the rest of the products will get you parts to make all sorts of drivers.

Not your picture, I know, but do you know the make of the Warthog on the left?

To my eye, that one has the better size...

I believe the one on the left is the Haloclix one. Way too big for "normal" troopers. The Mcfarlane one really is perfect for this stuff.

Cheers Inso.

Legs are feasible but arms remain a problem.

Arms from Cadian heavy weapons team, perhaps?

Mad Robot Driver Arms

I knew I'd seen something on Mad Robot but couldn't find it. Are the legs available as well... I couldn't find them.

GW 40K Sentinel pilot's legs are a good fit. Seated Dreamforge Eisenkern stormtroopers should work too.

Any idea about the arms?

The arms could work just as well. They are very similar to the Cadian/Catachan Heavy Weapons arms

Hmmm, in a quandary now, look for a Cadian on Ebay UK or risk VAT charges on an order from Mad Robot....

Never heard of Mad Robot before! Good stuff . Shame they are US based.
@OneBigRiver, maybe Anvil Industries or Ramshackle Might have some driver parts or arms? I haven't checked but thhat's where I would look
