Hey guys, I've got some model and toy vehicles I want to convert to Ork and Imperial stuff. Making the vehicles look good is easy enough, but I'm looking for some good looking drivers/pilots and crew. Any ideas on manufacturers who do these? Thanks in advance :) |

I prefer to support the smaller companies, where I can :) |

You could always get some 28mm ww2 vehicle crew and head swap them perhaps? The bonus of having a slightly smaller than GW scale body to fit and a mean green skin head has to be good. |

Orks are pretty easy using standard Boyz. Their legs are almost already in the right position. Just give them goggles and bandanas. |

No matter how many times you ask figure companies to make generic vehicle crews they never do them…. |

Do head swaps on 1:48-1:50ish pilots and drivers. Add some minor accessories from the GW sprues. |

Infinity make a number of pilot figures for their TAGs. They obviously won't work for the Orks but they might work as guard ones. They are usually in positions that meant they had left the vehicle but most IG vehicles have covered crew compartments so maybe that is what you want. Here are some of them: link |

Thanks for the ideas, guys. It seems my only answer for Ork crew is to get a box of Boyz and convert them. Thanks again :) |

Greeeeen Stuuuuuuff. Is my obligatory scratch-sculpt everything call to action. But otherwise, I can't really think of anything non GW… |
