Of course a hobbyist needs more than one project and after spending most of my hobby time in the damned city of Mordheim, I decided to focus on something sci-fi.
I had a box of Ooh Rah's and a lot of bits from the Ironcore Stormtroopers laying around and thought about mixing them with the Stargrave kits.
The first figure I came up with is a support gunner. He will be part of my son's law enforcement crew which polices this sector.
The head and body are from the Ooh Rah kit, the backpack is from the Stormtroopers kit and the arms are from the stargrave troopers kit.
Stargrave body and arms, 40k Tempestus scions head, Tau shoulder pad as body armor, Ironcore drummags, various ww2 pouches (some used to toughen up the shoulder straps)
It seems that you got a great conversions' ideas, all these ones are great, now perhaps you should try some regulars/security forces to deal with these pirates. Expecially the Tau's helmets are impressive how well they fit on these figures.👍
@Andreas Mayrhofer The Ooh Rha's bodies are perfect with Stargrave's arms & weapons, I hope that WGA will make an HW section, just to give'm an heavier punch. You could add some shoulders & arms' armour with plasticard or GS, just to give them a more "hard sci-fi" look.👍
I didn't really know what to do with the rest of the Ooh Rah parts so I came up with the sci fi version of a German WW2 Paratrooper.
He is made almost completely from Ooh Rah parts, only the head is a stargrave head which looks like the old german para helmet. I painted this guy inspired by the WW2 Fallschirmjäger uniform.
Now I feel the urge to build a Squad around him....
Today I came up with some Ideas for the Ooh Rah bodies:
This guy is an alien Guerilla made with the Ooh Rah arms and body. I changed the standard rifle with an Ironcore Stormtroopers rifle and gave him a stargrave alien head. As always some pouches and bits were added.
Then I thought of some Sci-Fi medieval Men-at-Arms...
As I only had Ironcore arms and legs from the last box, I chopped the legs of the Ooh Rah bodies and combined the parts. The heads are perry HYW plastics as the swords are too. Some pouches and backpacks and we have two "Kriegsknechte"
Well done, given that, after all, most WWI's helmets were inspired by medieval ones. Their look has an old "Flash Gordon" feeling, I remember that odd mix of ancient & modern that had the original comic.
