    I have one long lasting project - O-Yoroi conversion - and I finally wanna try to get it done after three years of collecting dust. Obvious choice should be playing him in JSA, but here comes the space for you.

    Could you suggest some creative, yet Infinity story apropriate, ways how to use him in different armies? I mainly own Yu Jing, Nomad and Combined army models.
    Thanks!

    Could easily be used as a Guija, representing a loyalist O-Yoroi pilot who remained with the evil empire after the Secession.

    Or as a Raicho representing a Sepsitorised pilot using a their old TAG upgraded with voodootech.

    Excellent suggestions!

    It'd be tougher to fit into Nomads. Not impossible as a Lizard, totally wrong gun for a Szallie (and way too skinny, doesn't look like it's ARM8), far too tall to be a Gecko, and you'd need a different pilot for an Iguana.

    So, either Lizard as-is, or Iguana with a different pilot (I'd use a Riot Grrl).

    Im not sure how the kit for the Lizard looks but maybe kitbash the arms on the O-Yoroi (could be a cool firing pose) and get the lizard cockpit on the O-Yorois head?

    An count-as-Anaconda? Even the pilot would fly, spitfire being modelled on her being, well, optional. Still S7, albeit slower (but leg enhancers for a TAG might be mite difficult to come by on the black market) and -1 ARM (ablative plating ain't getting supplied from the stocks like it used to be!).

    Especially if we're talking about heavily converted O-Yoroi.

    Lizzie is a very old TAG sculpt, one of the last of the pre-CAD (along with the Cutter):

    Thanks for all your suggestions! I own and really like the old Lizzie, so there's no much sense to switch it. On the other hand, trying it as Anaconda in StarCo. could be the way.

    We are talking about this one. ;)

    So, rather heavily converted, but still rather obviously an O-Yoroi.

    Would still work as an Anaconda. Iguana would need a different pilot.



    I must admit, that is probably the best way to get the standard O-Yo pilot to not have her sword mangled in storage/transport!
