Here is Wave 1 of my USCM squad. They are the 1st Xenomorph Extermination Squad, or "Badass Bughunters" as they refer to themselves. This unit is the best of the best of the best. They are the testing ground for nearly all the USCM corps protype weaponry and tactics. They've never failed a mission, nor have they ever lost a comrade. This unit has face xenomorphs on six different occasions, and they are the best solution for an infestation...short of taking off and nuking the place from orbit.
Gunnery Sergeant Alexander Frost, team leader. Equipped with standard M-44a pulse rifle and aa-12 combat shotgun as sidearm, combat knife sheathed on right side of armor vest, comm gear on the left. Helmet art reads "Born to Kill" (a shoutout to "Full Metal Jacket") and he has a skull & crossbones on his armor vest.
Corporal Terry Stevenson, Squad Medic. Equipped with prototype magnetic accelerator gun (gun design is the same as the one from "Demolition Man") . Combat knife sheathed at small of back. Rescue kit includes gear to perform most immediate first-aid on the most common battlefield traumas, plus several items designed specifically with "bug problems". Cannisters on right thigh are loaded with an aerosol base to neutralize the xenomorph's blood. Helmet art reads "Doc", his MAG is tagged "EAT THIS" and he has the standard medical personnel red cross on left armband and left knee pad.
Lance Corporal C. Wade, Sniper. Equipped with prototype belt fed gauss rifle sniper rifle. Combat knife sheathed over left shoulder. Helmet art reads "REAPER", sniper crosshair art on her armor vest.
Private Darren Lagan, squad Flametrooper. Equipped with high-temp plasma burner with extended-use fuel backpack. Standard pulse rifle slung on right hip, and good old fashioned pump shotgun on right shoulder for "close encounters". Helmet art reads "Brain Dead" and his flamer reads "HOT".
As an added bonus, here is the custom I submitted to Go Native Toys for their Blanx Alpha contest. It's a Borg Drone! This was a super quick 'n' easy build and fun the whole time. He was designed to emulate the Borg designs from their earliest apperances on ST:TNG, which apparantely was "dudes in black body suits with random tubes and greeblies", instead of the more streamlined "biomechanical" look they evolved into. I really enjoyed working with the Blanx buck and may have to get more to make a couple'a more drones. 'Cause you can't have just one! Oh, also...it appears as if I am one of the winners of the contest, exact placement still "to be determined".
Borg Drone 1 of 1, scout unit.
