| | Has anyone tried making an imperial pilot custom? I saw a few that looked like a clone trooper's head (squared off) on a rebel pilot body painted black. Any ideas? | |

| | Well you could always chop up a bunch of Baron Fels and give them Clone Trooper heads. [:D] | |

That´s a pretty expensive convertion! But the most accurate [:D]
Clonetroopers heads in black are really nice, rebel pilots could make the excellent proxy but i begin to hate that strange shooting pose. | |

| | I agree, I've actually cut and reposed my 7 or so pilots. I was actually thinking of making a Luke Skywalker rebel pilot with a Luke head and a lightsaber. | |

| | That looks realy nice. Lemme take a stab at guessing it. The body wouldn't happen to be Lobster Johnson from the Indyclix line, I've got now idea where the head came from, heavily modded clone trooper perhaps? | |

Yep. "The Lob" has proven extremely useful as a base for a lot of modded figures.

Yeah, and the breathing tubes are from Major Maxim also from the Indyclix line. We had them left over after we made a Marv (from Sin City) [:D] | | | |

| Very cool mordantos, I've got a few lobster Johnsons and Major Maxims painted up as Antartic Space Nazis for my Pulp Hero minature collection. What head did you end up using for Marv?

| | Does anyone know if West End Games had Imperial pilots? Also if you can wait it out, I would almost guarantee a TIE pilot in one of the next two sets of minis. | |

Yes they did. Unfortunately they are not the same scale as WotC.

| This topic makes me think...
Will Imperial pilots bring a new commander effect and works as it was with the pilot evasion and nieb nub not being granted this capability? | |

Doubt it. They are likely to be followers not Commanders.
The 'Imperial Pilot' with a CE has already been released, and his name is Baron Fel. ΖD] | | | |

What we did with that was to mount the WEG figure on 25mm Games Workshops 25mm bases, which are a tad raised. That way all figures had the same size base and the WEGs looked a little taller, blending in better next to the WotC figures. | | | |

| | I am in fact planning on getting back into SWRPG. Its a shame WOTC is cutting the materials even further. SW has the pedigree of great gaming. Anyway, I like the weg minis because they have more generic types of figures. I have a trade thread posted if you guys have some to sell me. Oh, and please call me Jon. | |
