Lastly, the man responsible for much of the identity of this particular unit, a heavy weapons specialist known by a wide array of nicknames, from Tank to Killer, Megadeath to Reaper, Cpl. Lars A. (Angus) Hendrix is most likely responsible for choosing the WarPigs name for the unit, give his love of all things heavy metal and hard rock. He is a beast on the battlefield, and a riot off of it.

As indicated, many of these individualized soldiers are being shown from the Platoon dubbed the WarPigs. Mostly, the traditional CG uniform is employed, but with some changes when fitting. Here is the Commander of the WarPig Platoon, Captain Dalton T. Striker. Overall the WarPigs are something of a group of misfits within the Elites Division. In fact Misfits was almost their title. While many of the troops who comprise this platoon are wildcards and jokers (other names considered), they are often regarded as the best of the best. It is Captain Striker’s job to instill some level of discipline and cooperation in these soldiers, who come from various nations all over the world, and blend them into a cohesive fighting machine. With this tough task, it is no surprise that General Gutz gave the platoon to Striker, a renowned disciplinarian. His ‘baton’ is a double bladed billy club, and he uses it without mercy to get his point across.

Thanks guys. More coming still...
The transportation specialist of the WarPigs, codenamed: Komodo. His real identity is unknown, though he seems to be of Asian origin. His uniform is not unlike that of any other transportation officer within the Elites, except that he goes to great lengths to never remove his helmet, thus adding to his mystique. He also chooses to speak through a voice modifier, though none know if he is capable of speech independent of the device, or whether it affords built in translation. ] |

Thanks Doc. Warpigs is actually the name of the unit, but I'm glad you like that particular figure too. The head came from a cheap Family Dollar toy soldier set. Like $3 for 6 Soldier Force figs. There are 2 maybe 3 heads in the set that are really useful, and the heads are also not commonly used, so I basically got 3 unique headsculpts at $1 a pop. Then I bought 2 of the set so I can do alternate versions of a few of them. Can't beat that.

A generic soldier type here, that carries over the look regardless of which unit he is in – the Red Viper. Mostly associated with an airborne trooper, but more along the lines of a Navy SEAL in that the airborne factor is merely one mode of insertion for this soldier. Simply referring to him as a commando is much more appropriate, and each platoon of Elites will usually have one Red Viper in the ranks to carry out a diverse range of missions.

Unclassified: Thanks for the tip on the Snow Serpent webbing. Sadly that was the only one I had to work with, so I haven't had the chance to add to the Red Viper ranks.
The knife is from TriGate Creations. It's as cool as it looks in the pic. And the AC/DC t-shirt was done with a water-slide decal. Absolute necessities for pulling off print quality details IMHO. I think I'm going to go back and update a couple of that fig's tats by using waterslides as well. Not thrilled with the right arm or back of the neck. |
