Hey, Yarders!  Back with another update.

First up in the queue are some WIPs. 

A Joe-verse Carnage to go along with my Agent Venom WIP debuted last update:


Mandaolrian light-armor Scout Sniper:


WIP shots of characters from the "Legend of Drizzt" series.  Drizzt the Drow Ranger, Wulfgar the Barbarian, Bruenor Battlehammer the Dwarf, Guenwhyvar the Astral Panther:




An Oni (demon) ninja:


Riot Squad of the famed Bith JetJumpers, Rebel black ops team:


Eric Draven, The Crow:



Finally, some finished pieces as well.  These figures represent mash-ups of several franchises (Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens):

Samuel and Isaiah Sisko, Mando Xenomorph Hunters.  The brothers Sisko have been hunting Xenos for far longer than they can remember.  Samuel is the elder of the two, by ten years.  When he was 14, his life was destroyed.  Both their parents were stationed aboard the USS Cloudrunner, a Starfleet deep-space exploration vessel.  They came across a damaged mining vessel (secretly harboring xenomorphs) and broadcasting a looped distress signal for warp core breach.  The Captain of the Cloudrunner ordered survivors to be beamed directly into sick bay, overriding safety protocols.  17 of the rescued 23 crew members of the mining vessel were harboring xenomorphs.  The outbreak was disasterous.  The entire ship was lost, as the Captain ordered the ship to activate self-destruct.  Samuel and Isaiah were the only survivors, as their mother placed them in an escape pod, directly against her Captain's orders.  All hands had been ordered to remain on board, in a desperate attempt to halt the xeno infestation of any where the crew members might end up.  The brothers Sisko were adrift in the escape pod for 13 days, until they were picked up by a Mandalorian warbarge, returning to Mandalore from a campaign in the Re'dho Sector.  As is commonplace with Mandos, they were adopted by Clan Redblade, and taught the ways of warriors.  Samuel, who was old enough to remember the horror of the Xenomorph attack, leads his brother on a never-ending quest to rid the galaxy of the "bugs" that still haunt his nightmares.  Samuel and Isaiah wear modified armor, based on Samuel's design.  The chest pieces incorporate several Xenomorph pheremone synthasizers effectively rendering them invisible to the bugs. 

Samuel has painted his armor to honor their father, the Cloudrunner's Chief Engineer, in Starfleet Gold.  Isaiah's armor honors their mother, ship's First Officer, in Starfleet Red.





That's all for now.  Thanks for tuning in!

Re: 06/17! NEW! Lin Kuei Ninja!
« Reply #952 on: June 17, 2013, 11:56:10 AM »
Thanks for the love, guys!  Here are a group of Lin Kuei Clan ninja I did a ways back and forgot to post.  They are from the same clan as Sub-Zero, and exist in my Joeverse.  They are the sworn enemies of the Shiry Ryu (Scorpion's) Clan, who are mercenaries to Cobra.  They have been attached to the Joe team, under the leadership of Snake-Eyes.

Ash, the archer.  This ninja, like Smoke, has chosen a grey color scheme.  His armored hat can be used a shield or throwing weapon. 





His bow has been properly strung with sewing thread:



Snowblind, the berserker.  Snowblind is completely blind and deaf.  He relies on his incredible senses of touch and smell to find and defeat his foes.  His weapons of choice are his custom Snow Claws.





Icepick, standard ninja footsoldier.  Weapons of choice are chain-linked kusurigama.





Tundra, standard ninja footsoldier, with one exception.  he is the younger brother of the famous Sub-Zero, and is the next in line of succession to the codename.  Weapons of choice are katana.





Coldsnap, the Cryomancer.  Able to manipulate moisture of any type into ice/frost, he is a dangerous adversary.  He fights totally unarmed, but is able to "ice up" his arms and hands to devestating effect.  Under extreme duress, he is somehow able to "summon" an Ice Elemental.




Summoning the beast:



FrostBite, Ice Elemental.  A literal walking ice sculpture, this creature from another plane of existence lives for only one thing: to destroy the enemy before him.  Wielding a massive ice sword and capable of taking a mind-numbing amount of damage, it is truly a sight to behold.




I totally forgot to do a team pic.  Will need to remedy that!

That's all for now!  Thanks for tuning in!

Hey, Yarders!  Here is a small update.  Enjoy!

First up is another addition to my ever-expanding Battle Android Trooper (BAT) variants.  I have BAT-p (Pilot) units, BAT-n (Ninja) units and now...

BAT-rg units.  The Royal Guard BAT variants are assigned in pairs to all high-ranking Cobra Command staff as personal bodyguards.  Larger and more heavily armored than standard units, they are equipped with gatling fore-arm bracers and vibroblade staffs. 






Recipe:
Body = Savage Opress (armored)
Head = BAT mark III
Gatling bracer = Accelerator Suit Duke
Closed Fist = Gundam G "Asura Gundam"
Grasping Fist = Clone Trooper
Vibroblade = shaft from a POTF2 Tusken Raider, blade from BAT mark III arm accessory


WIP of Quicksilver from the "Silverhawks" cartoon in the Joeverse.
