Well done - I particularly like the conversions with human heads sticking out the top.  What did you use for the conversions?

I think it's the Minibots - at first I thought it could be the Toolbots from Reaper Chronoscope, but a closer look seems to confirm Hydra.

They're great minis, and well executed. I have a handful that I have to get to work on this winter. I still ponder whether to go for the 'iron' look, like these, or a more blueish steel look, like seen somewhere else on these pages. (I also painted some Terminator Robots with a blue tint, and like it, but I'm not sure about these pulp/retro sci-fi things...)

All the figs are from hydra. The big ones stand around 3 to 4 inches.

For the two converted ones the heads come from super system figs. Some putty work and the domes from at-43 gorillas.

Still don’t know what I going to use them for. Have a few ideas in mind. Might add some more figs to the legion.
