When my buddy Tony needed a model for his Combat Mage character, I dug into my Star Wars miniatures collection and found this gem! He's a human bodyguard from the Legacy of the Force collection. Among the many things about Star Wars miniatures I like is their uses for general sci-fi. Who knows what fashions will be like in the future, but this guy's simple sci-fi style really fits SR. And as a combat mage, Tony's character also carries a small pistol for those times when he's too drained to cast spells.
As Tony's character is a sometime Bollywood actor and native Indian, I had to make a few changes to this figure to give him the right look.
Here's what just 30 minutes can do for a mini like this:
With the right hair color and skin tone he fits right in for Mumbai!
I think I'll do a post later this week on the SW minis line and discuss some common and uncommon minis from it that, like this one, possess super-utility for other sci-fi games.
Thanks for visiting!

That is some great work!
ReplyDeleteI like plastics! While I admit that they do lack the fine detail of metal minis, the price is way better. For supers, the plastic DC/Marvel heroes are good because plastic is easier to mod than metal as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
