New and Old Toys, Part 7 Star Wars Minis and More

As George Lucas once said, "One thing about 'Star Wars' that I'm really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That's why I like the 'Star Wars' toys." I couldn't agree with him more. In this case I use whatever is at my disposal. I'll usually set up my table with something interesting and things just evolve.

It's been awhile since I've played with my DropZone Commander building models and really love the ease of set up using these cardboard pieces. They photograph well and are very usable for different games systems or a casual diorama setup.

A Rancor mixes it up with AT43 Red Blok mechs, Bugs,
and miscellaneous MechWarrior units and vehicles

More Proxying Fun: Ars Victor with 10mm Pendraken Fantasy, Part 5

Almost done with proxying the minis for Ars Victor. I wanted to get units that would visually represent the Brutes, Lancers and Scavengers. Luckily I found Pendraken Fantasy in 10mm. 

They have a great line and a variety to choose
from. What's more is the close scale match with
the MechWarrior Clix miniatures

(click on the pix to enlarge)

These Barbarians would make fine Scavengers 

Barbarians ready for flocking

Scavengers emerging from the woods

Brutes ready to rumble

Lancers are ready as well

I almost forgot one more unit that needed to transition from their original clix bases to match the game bases.

Much better!
