Skorpion- Red Shadow merecenary

Post by Red Laser »

I am going to use the Big Boa I got from joearmory as a new Red Shadow and I want to give him one maybe two tattoos. Would the Shadow insignia look better without a white background or with it on bare shoulders?

Cheers guys. I'm not sure what role the figure will have yet but not as a trainer. This Big Boa doesn't have boxing gloves or the hose in his mask and I have re-painted him slightly.

Well really I'd say invert it, do a black skull and crossbones on bare skin.

I added the Shadow insignia and they look ok without a white background I also added 2 Games Workshop decals to his arms which look good. I will post pics later I'm thinking of Red Dragon for a name I know it sounds oriental but I'm trying to use predatory animal names. I'm also thinking of maybe having him as a Shadow battlefield tech. But for now I have re-painted his helmet black and his pants red as well as adding tattoos.

Sounds interesting. The golden rule with Shadow names is to use Scavengers; Jackal, Hyena, Wolf, Vulture

Some names here:

Would Parasites also qualify?

That first link is priceless! So, Ironblood, we have a choice from:
"Red Wedge Tailed Eagle", or "Red Ex Wife". :-D :-D :-D

Strangely enough Eagle, Hawk and Wolverine are also in the list. Have we hit upon an undercurrent?

Red Ex-Wife? :lol: You crack me up Steve. Image Here is Red Dragon(?)

Unfortunately the transfers came off even though they were applied last night and as you can see one side of the lower transfer also rubbed off. Image
