Awesome that you went the extra step and swapped in the arm accessories, I was just gonna cheat and do two hands on mine but that looks so much more awesome!
Then your October Guard looks great as well, really love that WW2 helmet look with the modern parts. Then the tan vest off that camo style looks great as well. Gear layout is cool too since it?s pretty unique, don?t really recall anyone using those pouches on the chest together so it?s a fun new look.
Marauder did well with the heads for the BAT and Viper using their parts, but for me the heads of those two characters are pretty iconic so I felt I had to use Hasbro parts. I am planning a Marauder built head for my Viper officer though. I used some spare plain black arms to attach the BAT weapons as I did not want to mess up the arm if it went wrong or didn't look right. I might adapt the lower arm it came with to take the attachments but for now I do like the option of being able to swap it back and have a regular hand.
I did not plan to use that helmet with the Oktober Guard figure, but I did not like the one I originally bought to use when I was putting him together. Also originally I did not have those pouches on the vest but instead had a 5 magazine pouch (which did look good). I noticed after he had a weapon with a drum magazine but was carrying no spare drums. The easy solution would have been to swap the weapon, but I thought using the WW2 pouches tied in well with the helmet.
