I was inspired by nighthawk's thread, and wanted to create some diversity in the ranks by making my own specialized Cobra Troopers. So, having waited for Marauder Inc to reopen and for the package to get here, i finally got the last gear i needed today. Well, less talk, and more photos. Here we go:
Cobra Sniper Trooper I gave him some webgear with straps, thinking that he should be able to climb high to take the shots, and rapel down afterwards. It had the bonus of having a hole for the radio, so he can keep in contact with the rest of the squad. Hat instead of a helmet is just for diversity, and because he will hopefully stay away from the thick of battle. Cobra RPG Trooper Not much to say about him. I gave him goggles, because it looks good, and the Viper vest in lack of a better option. Cobra Close Combat Trooper This guy is the first one through the door, and needs to be prepared for combat in close quarters. So i gave him a shotgun, as well as a riot helmet with face shield and some body armer for protection. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the pouches on his leg have been replaced by some C4, in case he needs to breach a door. Cobra Heavy Weapon Trooper I wanted a trooper to be able to cover the other grunts, as they move in on the enemy. So i gave him a SAW rifle, and the Stinger Driver webgear with lots of ammo pouches. Again, goggles look good. As the webgear has a holster on the back, i replaced his leg holster with a black pouch. Bonus: Cobra Dock Worker At some point, i really want to make a diorama of Cobra dock, with a Moray in the water, an ASP battery and a lot of other details. Even though it's probably not going to be anytime soon, i decided to make a dock worker. He's not supposed to be battle ready, so i removed harness, helmet and his knife sheath, and gave him a fatigue cap and a tablet for checking supplies/docking permits/whatever. I LOVE the POC/DG "blue shirt" Cobras. Recently acquired some more Stinger/Bazooka trooper web gear. So, I should be posting pics in a week or two. Your customs look great! Love 'em! Jason |

Using HissHissFangFang's awesome Cobra customs as inspiration, I, too, am currently working on some customs like these.
I LOVE the POC/DG "blue shirt" Cobras. Recently acquired some more Stinger/Bazooka trooper web gear. So, I should be posting pics in a week or two. Your customs look great! Love 'em! Jason Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Quote:
Great post! I am already working on such a team using my ragtag Troopers posted earlier. The figs are sligthly rejiggered with the good heads and gear, I just need to mold up some DG CT helms for the heads. They will be a small squad lead by Cobra Invasor, then backed up by a group of DG Blue Snakes Eyes Vipers which I will work up when I get back stateside around XMas.
Be sure to post them here, when you get them done. I love following this thread, to see all the great ideas. |
