Agis, these are simply fantastic! I love that many of your conversions are actually quite subtle - for example, I dodn't realise the two Wookies were the same model at first. To me, that is the mark of a good conversion (i.e., you didn't realise it was). Very well done indeed.  8)

(P.S., love the red Trandoshan!  :-*)

That Trannie is seriously well done, sir.
Both conversion and painting.

Some really lovely stuff on this thread.

Really tempted to pick this game up in the future, allthough I see myself having trouble getting it on the table with my gaming group.

And the finally finished elite Trandoshan hunter:


A bit more converted, I repositioned the head and arms and gave him some equipment from the Eisenkern Stormtrooper (backpack, shoulder pads and pouches).

Fantastic!

When I was a kid, Sears gave away this figure in a little bag for free at Christmas; my parents made a few orders I guess and I had like 4 of them. Odd.

A quick question, where did you get the SW trooper helmets for your dreamforge stormtrooper conversions?



Ive seen your painted as stormies work before, but missed these guys with stormies heads. They work SO MUCH BETTER with the propper helmets.

Cheers

@ where did you get the SW trooper helmets ?

From the butchered Imperial Assault minis.  ;)
The grey armored  Chiss elite Trooper received a Anvil Industries head, so some heads to spare!

Another good and cheap source are the bendy WotC Stormtrooper!

Ah!

Expensive option, unless like you said you had them spare anyway... or made simple homebrew casts of the IA helmets ;)

Thanks Agis!

Beautiful models.  How can such a talented painter be such a terrible person?  Now I want some of these :( .

Re: Star Wars Imperial Assault - Trandoshan Wookie hunter!

The Elite Trandoshan Wookie Hunter is the most serious conversion so far. I only used the head, lower legs and arms of the FFG Imperial Assault miniature. All the rest are Dreamforge Heavy Valkir Troopers. 


The mini is based on the Star Wars: The Old Republic Trandoshan companion of the Jedi Counsular class shown here:
 

“In contrast to many Trandoshans, Qyzen Fess rejected the path of a mercenary to become a hunter of the galaxy’s most dangerous beasts. Earning “Jagganath points” with every honorable kill, Qyzen has traveled for years, seeking worthy prey and honoring his goddess, the Scorekeeper. Although his travels have brought him to Tython several times, he is never seen by the Jedi if Yuon Par is not at the temple.
Despite his disdain of fame and fortune, Qyzen has attracted some notoriety. He often slips through apparently watertight Imperial borders to follow his prey, much to the consternation of the Empire’s officials. Qyzen is also the only living hunter to have killed a greater crested gundark, thought extinct for centuries. His simple habits and devotion to the Scorekeeper give him common ground with the Jedi, though many disapprove of the attitudes and instincts that come naturally to a Trandoshan.”

Once completing the Lvl 60 Yavin story line you can get a big set of armour for him, I coloured the armour light grey and black and tried to emulate that look on the miniature.
