I really like all the code names and backstories posted so far in this thread. Great job so far everyone!
After doing some research on sniper/shooting terms I settled on the following code names for my Marine Snipers: Spin Drift and Feint Their backstory is they came up together through training, starting out as rivals trying to one-up each other. Through their competition, they gained a grudging respect for one another that helped them become great friends and better soldiers. The duo is now always deployed as a team, collectively known as the Trigger Twins. |

The Trigger Twins idea is fantastic and their backstory really makes them feel like a true team. Do you plan on expanding their story or adding any unique gear or skills that set them apart?

I've got real names and birthplaces lined out for them, still working on how they each ended up in the military. I haven't settled on their final gear loadouts yet either. Still very much a WIP. I'm also working on code names and backstories for (2) Recon Divers, a HALO Jumper, and an Infantry Soldier. I was originally going to pass on the 60th figures, but then I started getting ideas for code names and that was it. lol |

Man, I had planned to do this for all of these characters (including the ones with Steel Brigade helmets and the second EOD man I made with the extra Tripwire parts), but I may just steal all of zoomfactor’s ideas.
