    I'm curious who uses which models as proxies? No particular requirements of profile. Just your preferred models. Mine are below.

    Line troops: I personally like Ghluams or Govads. The ghulams can take most color schemes without being out of place. The Govad sculpts are nice, but need a more specific color scheme. I mostly want an excuse to use the govad sculpts more.

    CC infiltrator: I love the new Saito Togan sculpt or Red veil Fiday.

    Engineer: Kanren. Just an overall nice sculpt.

    Hacker: Alguacile Hack (single blister), or Kanren

    Doctor: Machaon, he just looks like a doctor.

    S5 Big Gun: Azrail PF. Amazing sculpt. Or Yan Hao HRMC.

    AD troop: I have no actual preference, But if I had to chose, ragik or bashi. But I always reverse the wings.

    Honorable mentions which I don't have a specific role for but like the sculpts are: intel Spec ops, Nahab, Namurr.

    I've yet to use him but I really like the new monstruckers model for any engineer purpose and I plan to use him whenever there's a chain rifle needed.

    I like your list Cannon, the new Saito and Fiday are great miniatures for sure, I absolutely should have picked up the HMG Azrail, great model but at the time it was available I had no need for it.

    I personally like Jing Qo as another CC Infiltrator. I think all the spec ops models have a great place in their armies. My Haqq model would need to triple up as Barid, Asawira, Mukhtar etc. Add the TAG pilots and Agents of the Human Sphere and there's a great collection of multiple use minis. I like Penthesilea Amazon Biker as a proxy, I'm personally waiting for a new Yojimbo sculpt and have her in his place if I ever get chance to field the army, that or she doubles as a maverick, desperado or kum biker etc, Carmen probably works well too.

    I'm trying to see what options I have for proxying the Yaoxie and Pangguling rems for Yu Jing / JSA since they require 55mm bases and I'm not a fan of the older models when checking them on the website. The store website really could do with informing us what base size the models use at a glance. Ideas would be welcome for sure!

    I use Emily Handleman as my go-to proxy. i have multiple models painted different ways. I use her as a Druze with LGL, Hexa, ABH, dismounted Kuroshi Rider, Zero, and a few others I'm forgetting about.
    I also use Uhua as Valyria Gromoz, warcor and different engineers/medics from different factions.
     
  5. For the White Company, which is the one I use the most proxies with (which surely many will remain as definitive troops, I like the aesthetics), the miniatures I use are:
    • Securitates as CSU
    • Thamyris The Aoidos as Danavas
    • Zhanshies as Fusiliers
    • Kanauf as Karhu (especially with Feuerbach)
    • Tokusetsu Kohei as Zhanshi Gongcheng (Engineer)
    • Kaizoku Spec-Ops as Zhanshi Yisheng (Doctor)
    • Human Sphere Agent (Yu Jing) as Guijia Pilot
    • Copperbot Remotes as Dronbots Remotes
    • Intel Spec-Ops (Ariadna) and Roger Van Zant as Varangian Guards
    • Imperial Agent Adil Mehmut as John Hawkwood
    • Hypolita as Shona Carano
    • Kappa Hacker as Valerya Gromoz
    And I think they are all :thinking_face:

    I have some minor conversions that some might call proxies

    In TJC
    female ryuken unit9 as mary problems (still thinking what to do to make her a bit different)
    male ryuken unit 9 as grenzer misile launcher when linking with securitates. Nicknamed "secuencer", but soon I will need to look for a new role
    briefcase csu as autorised bounty hunter for duo with miranda

    in starco
    jethro, with a beret as a cateran
    Dovomoi as irmandinho, still looking for some wrench and chain to change his weapons
    red veil ghulams and sniper bounty hunter as brawlers. I might add the druse hacker in a future if I start to play her

    Ghulam NCO = Hunzakut with the mine removed from her hand. Not sure if that's a proxy or a conversion :-)

    I've got an O-12/Starmade army made entirely of proxies.
    Kappas are all PanO Fusiliers (some have had weapon or head swaps).
    Omegas are PanO ORC troops (head modifications).
    Gamma is a modified Haqq Al Fasid HRL with the HMG from a Blackjack, a new head, and some small changes.
    Bluecoat is a Nomad Grenzer with head and arm swaps.
    Lawkeeper is an Aleph Penthesliea with head swap, weapon swaps and minor bike mods.
    Raptor boarding team is a converted YJ Zuyong (weapon and head swap).

    My corregidor has a converted/proxied USAriadnan Devil Dog Dog warrior as my "McMurrough". New hands were made for it (it was the one carrying the big shotgun).

    Angus is a machinist. Bipandra is either a spec op, a paramedic or a trauma doc. I use the dasyus hacker as a naga hacker in my ASA. I use the Danavas as a Naga, usually the minelayer, and its karakota as a machinists palbot. I have a Reaper mini that I use as a medical palbot. It looks like the 'bot from Metropolis .

    Now Angus as a trauma doc would be funny. I ought to do that sometime.

    Mostly deleted units/profiles finding a new life. Vector Operator is Nexus, Void Operator is Kerr-Nau, Caskuda is whatever TAG proxy is needed.

    I have a soft spot for Mk.3, probably because she sees the table so rarely.

    Uxia McNeal (Covert Action) proxies my Posthuman Mk5 (double SMG)
    Wu Ming HRL proxies my Posthuman Mk4 HRL, since the helmet is separated (so I glued the helmeted head from the Chandra Specops instead)
    Giraldez's book Juana, with some extra milliput and painted like Black Saber (FATE franchise), acts as my second Myrmidon Officer (or the first, if I'm deploying the Marut too... the Big Bunny's bodypaint matches hers).

    I have two Kanren Hacker, one in a 25mm base to be a 2nd Danavas, while the second one is glued into a 55mm base with a basic Stempler Zond to proxy an O12's Alpha (S value matches to boot!)

    I prefer to paint her before gluing to the base ^^U

    I'm going to use Tie Sheng as a mobile brigade hacker for QK. I only need 1 and the tinbot model is a nice extra.

    Been meaning to pickup Vassily for my small TAK collection and finally broke on a Coldfront Beyond box. I'm thinking the REM will be a great EVO bot / Lu Duan etc, Shakti as Mk12 Karakuri proxi, Aspara as SMG Bounty Hunter (or any random SMG user for Nomads), Strelok as Brawler Sniper - should cover the options I am missing for the time being and these Aleph models have grown on me! My ITS box game through so I finally have a Jotum to paint up as a proxy Scarface/Anaconda!
