As someone else who is starting to play about with the Stargrave plastics I'd love to see your work so far Nick.

I forgot the Great Escape Gunslingers:

Gunslinger body and Stargrave head and arms.

That basically screams "Serenity Crew" ...

Here are a few that I’ve done so far, nothing fancy, just straight from the box builds.
The “Mandalorian”, is just a paint job, with an added jet pack.  The “child” is an imp from the Frostgrave wizards sprue.

Excellent, I like those a lot! Cool repurposing of the imp, he looks the part.

They look cool Nick. The troopers really made me think of classic Imperial Guard and I'm digging your Mando and the little Imp, he's a cool idea. I've not really had a look at the wizard sprues so will have to check them out.

I've only built 4 Stargrave minis so far but I've really enjoyed kitbashing them. It's like the GW hobby 10 or 15 years ago but cheaper. The ability to mix up so many kits is addictive lol

The troopers will be the bad guys in my games,  I didn’t want to paint them as SW stormtroopers.  I think that buying sprues is a good way to go.  You e d up with just enough minis.

Nice work.
Now if you want some Storm Troopers, Anvil Orbital Fusileers might meet your needs.

Looking good UVSmurf. Do you think the Anvil arms would work ok on the Stargrave plastics?

As I mix Anvil and Stargrave sprues very often, I can tell you that they fit very well.  :)

The photos of my conversions (quick painting, be indulgent  :D):

first one, left to right:
Sven: all Anvil with modified Stargrave weapon
Ulrich: Stargrave/Frosgrave body and weapon, Anvil arms
Boris: Stargrave body and weapon, Anvil arms

second one:
Stavros from the back: Stargrave/Frosgrave body and weapon, Anvil arms

No, they are not SW stormtroopers, they are Traveller RPG imperial soldiers in battlesuit !  lol

They look more like CES, battlesuits are fully enclosed and powered (Anvil Drop Troopers https://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/high-tech-drop-troopers  for example).
