Need Help with a Conversion idea
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2013 1:11 am
Ok I am starting up a Starship Troopers skinny army for my local gaming group who have people interested in the game, the issue is the game has been officially out of print since '07 so i am SOL forgetting a hold of many of the skinny units, which is fine mostly due to the fact that i have access to the stuff that i want for my army except two units. One of which i can live without so i am going to try to convert the other models that i need. What I need to convert are Skinny Raiders.
Some pictures of the actual models

Now i had been toying around in my head with using the base as kroot or eldar from the 40k range until i saw the last picture on the page at the bottom.
Not the same model mind you but the same height as the models i need to convert, for comparison and to inform you, the human soldier is the same size as a 40k Space Marine, My issue is that Kroot and Eldar are the same size as Space Marines also. So i need a plan B. So far the only thing i can think of is that i can use Tau Pulse Rifles as constrictor rifles, but that is woefully the only thing i can think of.
I have tried googling anyone else who has done these conversions and their is nothing on google I have found that can help. Hopefully you guys have some experience with other miniatures companies out there that make miniatures tall enough that i could work with to make Skinnies out of.
Any advice you guys can offer is appreciated.
EDIT: Sorry i had to link to the page instead of the pictures, the links kept breaking
