Cobra Trooper
: Basically the same figure and MO of the Hasbro 30th figure—which was a great update by Hasbro as released. My trooper figures are actually repainted DG figures, found on the cheap—since I wanted my 30th trooper figures I bought for the heavy hardware troopers (machine gunner and RPG trooper) for the shoulder insignia. (EDIT: the group picture used repainted DG figures, but I recently got a hold of two extra 30th Anniversary troopers for a cheap price, so switched them out for the pair pics).
Recipe
: 2013 Dollar General (DG) Cobra Trooper figure; repainted with Citadel Kantor Blue, and Testors Flat Black. Also, for all the of the DG Cobra Trooper base figures used with this set, I re-drilled the head socket closer to the front of the head and propped up the head on the neck peg with a bit of modelling clay so that the head sits up better on the neck and body; added a Cobra Viper backpack; repainted the AK-47 with Citadel Leadbelcher, my go-to dark silver.
Cobra Guard
: With this figure and MO, I was just looking for a slight variation of the basic Cobra Trooper, as originally I was thinking 8 of 13 of this display set would just be generic troopers to emphasize the “nameless, faceless legions”. I also wanted a version inspired by the original comic books colors (red masks, yellow gear). In my mind, guards are the same as the troopers, just on guard duty, and the figure represents the trooper on-base and rally colors.
Recipe
: same as my Cobra Trooper, except replaced black with Testors Wood with an additional coating of Citadel Nightshade wash without wiping off (to darken it a bit); added Gonfalon from 2010 POC Cobra Commander. AKS-74 w/ bayonet from loose seller.
