I find myself strangely tempted by that Warhansa set. Haven't succumbed yet, but it might be inevitable...

If you need reason to be dissuaded, I have been told that though they are marketed as 1/32, they actually measure in at 65mm... Not sure about that, but it wouldn't hurt to buy it and find out.

wow you have been busy ninja! thanks for sharing those pics I really like all the proxy figures you've used especially the nightsister group nicely done.
Is the AAT tank the ertl one?

Just discovered some more proxy STAR WARS figures in a local toy store. These may have been out for some time, apparently they go with a computer game FORTNITE, seems to be similar to the KICK ASS movie franchise with 'super hero' types. Here is what I picked up in individual bags, not blind bags, you can see what you are getting. I've taken a pic with a Star Wars Unleashed General Veers for a size comparison. The figures have that elongated 'look' which could be down sized to more of a 54mm scale but some could be left at their actual size if you want an impressive bounty hunter type.
They are PVC multipart so will cut and glue easily, so changing parts between figures shouldn't be a problem. These 6 are the best of the types that were on sale. The girl on the right has prongs coming out of her feet so I just placed her on a metal DEETAIL base for the pic. Here is the full range of STAMPERS 36 different types
Here is the full range of KEY CHAINS, 19 different types
As you can see some have guns so would work immediately, others have animal heads but human bodies, so these could be converted with a new human head to create a interesting character. A lot of them are just WEIRD!!! They are all over EBAY UK but be aware that these figures are made in different sizes ,so if you are going to pick any up make sure they are STAMPERS or KEY CHAINS as most of the others are 3 inches up to 9 inches tall, so too big for our needs. They also do boxed twin packs and boxed 4 packs, some of the latter have surprise figures which are not included in the ranges shown. Checking out the sculptures there is more detail on the figures than have been factory painted so they might look better after a good paint job. The faces on the females are very nicely rendered.

The one called 'battlehound' works as he could be a SW character with the animal face. Some of the others are 'burnout', 2 would make great body guards for a main character , 'Raptor' is a bigger figure maybe 75mm so works as a Alien hero/smuggler/etc , 'Renegade Raider' is pretty much a 'DOCTOR APHRA' lookalike, 'Shadow Ops' nice sniper rifle, 'Steel Sight' looks quite Imperial to me maybe with a slight repaint.
I haven't seen the Battle Royale figures in person but they look a little squat to be completely useful but maybe parts would work on other figures.
There is one other poses that has turned up in a new line of 5 pack with surprise figure. He is already armed with SW type gun and his stance is pretty nice .

For those guys in the UK that are interested in the FORTNITE figures. The Toy Chain 'THE ENTERTAINER' has the STAMPERS ,KEY CHAINS and 2 packs discounted by 25%.and the Art supply/book store 'THE WORKS' is selling the same ranges at £ 3.00 per STAMPER/KEY CHAIN and £ 5.00 per 2 pack.
I picked up another 9 poses from a brand new box and will shortly start to convert a few so I'll post some pics when they are done.

The Warhansa priest and sacrifice is a splendid set, ripe (careful) for appearances in all kinds of scenarios - beyond SF - Back of Beyond for example. Highly recommended. to spice up (steady) games...

FWIW my take on Alliance Commandos; converted from the Alliance marine? figures with WWII GI heads and greenstuff.
Weapons are 'Lego' compatible - some are a tad chunky and Ilike weapons to have heft so they work for me. And the whole armoury of SW is avaiable...
