What parts did you use for C-3P0 and R-2?

I think I see an eldar chest on C3-P0? lots of greenstuff obviously.

R-2 has part of stealth suit for part of his legs? Feet from some guard sprue? Or the choas apoc sensor?

I really like them and I'd like to make a simular set for my Imperial Army as Vader and his Troopers were hunting them down. I'm also going to make some jawa and sandpeople casulties for additional objectives. I'll probably make C-3PO laying in pieces with R-2 fixing him that way they share a single base.

speedfreek,
Kudos for building such a consistently themed & stylish army. Wonderful conversions. You must have the constitution of an ox to make so many droids.
I love the chunky bulk of your Devilfish and the way it is fitted together as though it came out of a GW box.

I must admit that I really like your first Tetra version, maybe it didn't fit in stylistically as a Tetra but it had a quirky charm.

I came across these links of another federation droid army, thought you might like to see. (they look good but I think your conversions look cleaner)

those look to the dot like Star Wars models, but have lost their "Games Workshop model flair" that speedfreek has managed to hold.

The largest difference is that he uses non-GW vehicles and that this army is done one and a half years before mine...

My objectives are competing at Bell of Lost Souls objectives challenge.

Since latest I have built some more Crisis suits and pathfinders but not any "new" type of models.
When I do, which I will, I will post them here.

@Cannonfodder
I will come to the ETC this year again, but I don't know if it will be with Tau or something different.
(I played Eldar in the ETC 2010 and Dark Eldar 2011)

My entry for the ATT Drone Challenge was this unit of Gun Drones.
Image

The head is actually a Gun Drone that I have carved and filed completely flat and then added eyes made of a smoke launcher.
The lower body is made of a tau tank hatch and the arms are a pair of lasguns each.

They are one of the games fastest units and often jump and run to steal an objective away,
if they haven't acted suicidal screening before the last turn.

While this was obviously your entry, it was amazing just like all your models, how you used the GW Parts to look so much like Star Wars pieces.

Great Work!
