At the beginning of March 2016, Suber had a great post on his blog
Old School Workshop about using Star Wars miniatures as
bodies for Inquisitor 28/Rogue Trader/Necromunda conversions. For those of you not in the know, Star Wars miniatures was a collectible miniatures game from Wizards of the Coast, which used a similar system to the Star Wars D20 system roll playing game, and allowed for quick, point based skirmished on a gridded board. The "common" figures from the collectible packs were available cheaply on Ebay, and I ended up with a few figures. Well, maybe more than a few...

On ebay, the Star Wars figures were often sold in "x4" lots, where more than one of the common or uncommon figures were grouped together in lots, meaning that I ended up with quite a few duplicates, often far in excess of what I needed or wanted. The figures themselves are often well sculpted, if a bit thin in comparison to the rather "heroic" GW figures. After reviewing Suber's success with chopping and
repainting the
figures, I got out my miniatures and the bitz box, and set to work.

Over the next couple days, I will be showing the results off, which I think went quite nicely.

Huh... that's a great idea - solid direction for creating some populace figures. Look forward to part 2! :)
