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

New and Old Toys, Part 4

Dusting off some of my cardboard buildings from DropZone Commander and posing my other minis amongst this urban setting.

No room on my table,
solution: coffee table will suffice

Lay down a few road tiles and
top it all off with a plexi sheet

  

Voila! Instant urban battlefield

  

An ominous looking dropship
mysteriously lands at an urban center

A hatch opens and a Scout ventures
out as a Command Bug looks on

A rapid response Mech team is quickly
dispatched amid a loud klaxon

The bugs are fanning out and looking to unload
their recon in force pod! The encounter escalates
as the Mechs are reinforced with assault infantry in battle 

Air support!

AT-43 Red Blok Spetnaz Kolossus, why not?

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

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!

More Proxying Fun: Ars Victor with MechWarrior Minis, Part 3

As I continue to play and enjoy Ars Victor, I've been on the hunt for the discontinued and out-of-print MechWarrior Clix figures that are suited well for this conversion.   

Just pop them off their bases and presto!
