Just had me a thought. How about using some of those Star Wars clicky dealies for VSF? I think those Droid troopers could make great clockwork soldiers with a little work. Change up their guns to something more appropriate, jam some gears here and there, maybe a smoke stack and pop a shako or kepi on their heads. Voilà!

Those Geonosans (sp?) could make good Selinites too.

Somebody should try this out.

You are not alone sir. I have been looking myself. Definite possibilities

I use Geonosians for Selinites/Bugmen. I've got some Imperial/Republic Guard with weapon swaps and some head alterations that act as Temple Guards in lost temples etc. The Scrap Golem makes a great VSF constuct and I've seen the Tank Droid turned into other things rather well.

There are some useful things if you look

They definitely have potential. I’ve been converting several Wookies to Sasquatch in Canadian / British service. They make some very characterful flankers and close combat specialists. I’ve armed them with a mixture of Tommyguns, Boys AT carbines and close combat weapons for a Pulp setting but using Star Wars mini’s for VSF shouldn’t be a problem.

Amoung other things I also use the Jawas as minions for my Sanwar that I got from Ironclad Miniatures.

Already done this with a Star wars mini (though still to finish it due to some WW2 commision work)...

Good job on the walker. I like that one.

I bought some from the comic shop in sunny Rhyl, and it really is sunny there at the moment, with the same intention. The big wheeled Hailfire droid almost looks like a giant clockwork engine without doing anything to it.

I had a thought of having the Hailfire Doid as some sort of towed gun carriage behind a dinosaur... then I sobered up.

Well friggin' done! Oh, at the risk of repeating myself...

Wait a minute; has certain VW bug qualities...

Have plenty Hailfires for use, never thought of as towed. Brilliant! I shall immediately seek appropriate draft 'saurs...

There have been plenty of folk using Mage Knight, D&D, even Heroclix for conversions, or even as is. No need to stop there; I've some old Dreamblade hive thingies that shall someday be Venusian plant men.

That's a bloody cool idea!!!!

Beautiful work, there.

I use the Tusken Raiders as my Martian High Desert Dwellers, armed with carbines, with small cannon mounted on their martian Giant Musk Oxen (Banthas). Never did finish painting those. Hmm. I feel sudden inspiration.

Also, a couple of Star Wars minis were sacrificed for my Alice Steam Rabbit.
