The eyes are a bit wonky on this guy, not me just the way he was cast?
I painted the eyes to de-personalise him, if that makes sense. Make him a bit more menacing to the enemy!

Now theres a novel idea ! I would leave the eyes as they are, but I do agree he needs a helmet.

I think black eyes would be more effective.

Or you could give him two little black dots in the middle! :shock:

You could give him eyes that look in different directions so that he looks like a total nutter!

Maybe Infra-red Goggles/NOD perched on his head? He looks kind of nightmarish why not call him Nightmare not many members seem to do him? In my universe My Nightmare is a second one who is none other than Wilder Vaughn he's the Baron's pschological tool against Cobra and the Joes just like the SAW viper is to the Joes.
Spock, where the hell's the power you promised?

Great idea, did you have the desert elite force figures? One of their backpacks would look good on him, im using them for my custom Krieg Shadows.
