I am very taken with the fluff and figures in the Games Workshop boxed games, and so have looked at recreating in 54mm. Here are some of my efforts for Blackstone. Beastmen, from Tehnolog Minotaurs; new weapons (Lego, 40K) and some small Chaos symbols. Chaos Black Legion Possessed Space Marines; ?Sazzle figures?, heavily modified (washers inserted at waist to increase height, 40K bits added, modelling putty sleeves and tabards). Ur-guul, my version!: figs from Fallout 76 set just painted and based. I need 3 more - anyone got some to trade? Traitor Guard; minor addition of melee weapons (40K) and face masks, otherwise just a paint job. unusually I didn't replace weapons - they all looked OK to me for guardsmen, which maded it a lot easier. They are also a tad short, but I figured they might well be, corrupted by Chaos and living in the dark for hundreds of years. BF itself is at www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Boxed-Games?N=1339748208+111973503&Nr=AND%28sku.siteId%3AUS_gw%2Cproduct.locale%3Aen_US_gw%29&Nrs=collection%28%29%2Frecord%5Bproduct.startDate+%3C%3D+1605500880000+and+product.endDate+%3E%3D+1605500880000%5D

wonderful conversions as always Mike! Love those Charo Marines very cool. I think there's a guardsman and tau 54mm figures out there but might be pricey. Have you ever visited the inquisitor forums? Another great 54mm site

Thanks guys. Yes, Inquisitor is a game we have played - its a bit too complex/detailed for me - prefer a broader brush approach so the game moves along. But love the fluff and the figures - I have a retinue on the workbench! It has some of the GW metal figures (mostly because I got given some by GW when they and the game first came out - they were a tad pricey then) plus a number of conversions, of course - some from rather surprising originals... "Ur-guul, my version!: figs from Fallout 76 set just painted and based. I need 3 more - anyone got some to trade?" Just to repeat my plea - will cross post in Swapmeet too.

When I saw the title my first thought was "Battlefleet Gothic"!
re. Ur-guul What is Fallout '76? Have you tried eBay? I know of some Bitz Sellers...

The Ur-gull paint jobs remind me of Chet Zar's horror art.

Thanks. The 54mm Resources listing at Conclave is excellent.
