Black/Dark Shadow

[Chopper]

Code Name: Black Shadow
Personal Name: Various
Action Force Code Number: None
Primary Military Speciality: Guerrilla Warfare
Secondary Military Speciality: Hand to hand combat
Birthplace: Various

These are the guys that go bump in the night. Hand picked by the Black Major they are ruthless, silent and leave no one to tell tales. Mostly ex special forces from their respective countries that have been blinded by the Barons Ideals, they are the best trained of all the Shadow forces.

"They are as quiet as shadows, a good reason not to sleep on sentry duty"

It looks great like SS troops modernised

Loving the John Woo look there Chopper! Nice work!

[Ross SC]

cool, but i think he would look better using a repainted shad or sas torso! never a big fan of this torso, too plain.
not areflection on your figure, love the idea & good job would just love to see him more kitted out for action! love the belt detail on the back, is that all stuck on individually?

[Lady Jaye]

Cool custom! I would see him more as a character than a trooper. In my opinion shadow troopers are supposed to be anonimous (hidden face).

Birthplace: Various

What sort of a mother is that, giving birth limb by limb going from place to place!

Yeah Ross, its a German belt backing, just blu tacked on atm and painted black. Got some bits from Paul (cheers dude) yesterday and already cobbled together 6 figures. Up late again, got 2 Q force and a Space Force custom to follow. Run out of heads now tho. I liked the body because it made it easier to stick the belt on. Most of the more detailed ones have bottles, bum bags, ammo pouches etc in the way. I cannot bring myself to repaint a Shad black, so this is it.

Don't get the John Woo thing Steve, what's that about? I was just pleased to get a head that would fit a German Helmet. Go on Steve......

I'd hide his face a bit, but its hard with that Helmet, LJ. Way I see it is Black troopers outrank the Red Shadows, so he's more akin to the Black Major, maybe a NCO?

[Ross SC]

sending you a body, can you send me a close up pic of his ass?

John Woo characters are usually armed with a mac-10

I thought it was two guns eh was holding, but on further inspection I was wrong. Hence the John Woo reference.

The Dual wield has become sort of a signature piece for John Woo films - usually while the hero is diving sideways. Always a good look. When I eventually get round to organising some paint balling fun I plan on spending lots of time dual wielding. So will no doubt injure myself and end up in hospital.
