For $4.00 USD I now have two huge Garn walker tank/APCs. I bought two of these for $2.00 USD apiece:
link I sawed through their leg joints and tilted them 90 degrees, added some GZG tank barrels that I had in the old bitz box, painted some teeth on them, and voila! Two gigantic tanks for my Garn. link The main guns now become missile or artillery launchers and the grill at the bottom becomes a cockpit. These Telosian tank droids are super cheap. The link above has six of them for a buck apiece. They are "huge" sized, which means they are on a 3in base. |

I would love to grab a hold of one or two of those machines for my post-apocalyptic games to represent some sort of pre-fall industrial robots gone rogue. |

Hexxenhammer you rock ! Now to grab those walkers before their price skyrockets on worldwide following the massive wargamer purchases… |

Yeah, I thought about that. :) But there are tons available on ebay and in other collectible web stores. |

Wow, those are perfect for the Garn!  I should have made some such thing myself! I am making a vehicle for them, but it is going to be a large anti-grav vehicle which uses forcefield tech for armour rather than steel skin, just like the Garn themselves. One benefit of this is that the vehicle then takes on a sort of gunboat-like look, like say in the Sand Pebbles. |

Yeah, Khurasan, I think of the Garn as liking to do the shooting and the maiming and the killing up close and personal, and wouldn't use big tanks for the most part. Ususally using just transport to get them to the fight faster. But sometimes there's a target that needs the big guns, and the Garn don't go halfway…

Nice I will have to track a few of those suckers down. The Star Wars Huge figures are becoming must haves for 15mm. |

Great! -thanks for sharing. |

Excellent, great conversion! |

I don't even remember that thing from Star Wars. |

It's from the Knights of the Old Republic video games. So it pre-dates the movies by 20,000 years or so. Correction: 3,951 years before the Battle of Yavin. Gotta love Wookiepedia. |

I think that two of those robots stuck together with a head added to the front and you'd have a great pseudo AT-AT. Nice little conversions by the way and thanks for sharing. |

These are awesome… although I think these fit more with this: picture for the Felids. Still… fantastic work. |

Bob Olley modified some of those and some other SW plastics for his Scrunts, too: link |
