This might be a terribly dumb question, but have you tried looking for the original Deadlands GRW Automatons? I see them popping up occasionally in bins around older game stores and conventions, and maybe Jeff Valent still produces them...



Apart from those, I have converted a "Supermaton" from a Blade Golem from that original clix game whose name I cannot remember for the heck of it... it´s a pewter figure, but the plastic ones should work as well. I added a "fire syphon" from a "CRASH!" equipment pack as an arm gun.

I'm not really clear on what size you're going for, but for smaller (more or less man-sized) ones, here's a figure that I've always liked that's made by Magnificent Egos:

I ordered some of the GRW Automations from Jeff Valent Studios, they took a while to arrive but worth the wait.
Don't!
