Ain't this fantastic? :-* Seriously, having the mere idea in mind is just genius, but coming to this execution takes this project to another level. Great work!!

Brilliant idea with flawless execution!

You certainly have an eye for picking right figures to convert, that halfling fitted the bill perfectly.

Thanks all! I'm glad you're enjoying the little fella :) I think there's something in the cute + sinister combination that makes figures like this very appealing!

Yes, he works very well. Your drapery sculpting is quite good, too.

A new week, and something completely different! I've had this pair in a box for a while and finally decided to give them attention and paint them as Imperial Naval Officers. The guy on the left is a Black Tree Design figure from the Doctor Who range, while the guy on the left is the GW Fleet Officer from the Regimental Advisors set.

I decided that my Fleet Officers needed some guards / goons to order around, so did a little adaptation to a pair of the limited edition Cadians 'At Ease' by replacing their heads with some from Rogue Trader guardsmen.

I'm pretty pleased with the resulting Naval Armsmen:

Excellent work, very nice solution for armsmen.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Glad you like them! I'm tempted to do more at some point - perhaps using Mordian guardsmen as a starting point?

Brilliant!
Those Armsmen are a nice touch.
 :-* :-*

As for Mordians: I had a similar idea to use them as Spaceport Security personnel but Naval Armsmen for RT is an inspired idea.
Go for it.

Michael's finished the sculpts and they're currently being mastered. All being well, there will be a wave 2 Kickstarter in Feb :)

Amazing  work again  :-*

btw, that industrial/sci-fi background wall works pretty well with these figures, where it comes from?

They're Mantic Games Deadzone buildings. Pretty useful!
