I'm not sure if Scout/Snipers are considered Force Recon. They seem to be their own element. They are Reconnaissance qualified, but I don't know if they go through the Parachute and Diver training a Force Recon Marine gets. I think they would get a Primary of Scout/Sniper to replace Reconnaissance man, and then whatever else as a Secondary. I don't see why someone hasn't done both but I guess the Structure of the Marine Reconnaissance units leads me to think they are more of a "use when needed." They are attached to the HQ element of a Reconnaissance Battalion and deployed as needed. |

I didn't get much Either, but I just got a BBTS order a few weeks ago and I got another sitting at the Warehouse. Although my brother got me a Skyhawk (Ghost H.A.W.K) and it's pretty impressive. Lift-Ticket isn't too bad either. I hope I can find more.

Glad to see that this thread kind of shut down over Christmas - I was afraid I'd come back to find that I'd have 20 pages to go through like I have before (and I display at 20 posts per page, which is more than the default). Hope everyone had a happy holiday, whichever one you may have celebrated (or not).

The guy I'm making, his code-name is Lone Wolf. I envisioned him as recon but wanted him to have some sniper training as well. The idea would be that this guy goes in, does the recon-thing, gets out, reports back to base and then goes back in as a spotter/sniper for the other elements. Maybe Marine Force Recon isn't the best choice, but like Oliver keeps saying, the Joes are short on Marines.

I think I'll stick with Force Recon and Scout/Sniper.
Just need a couple more parts for him: Falcon's backpack and a pair of binoculars from a Duke figure. He was a really basic mix of parts, nothing really out there. 75% is comic pack Beachhead (okay, probably 90%).

You using Beacheads head? Any painting? I seriously can't paint so I just swap parts. I don't feel very good about swapping out anything with the 25th style figures accept heads. My "Loose Cannon" Figure is just a head swap of a Green Shirt and Tiger Force Flint body.
I swapped out the comic pack Beachhead's webgear with the single pack Beachhead (the only webgear I found that I liked for a Recon guy). Used the "unmasked" cp Beachhead and the balkava-thing (idea being that he uses the "scarf" to cover his head when hiding). Used a Mutt helmet to finish it off. Gave him single-pack Beachhead's gun and a Maruader's sniper rifle.
