great figure, lousy code-name. back-washing is when you put a drink back in the bottle from your mouth when drinking. leaving saliva in with it. filthy habit.
why not 'wake'? or 'backwake'? or 'harpoon'? or... 'deep sea'?

I quite like

. Great colours to work with and underated really on the forces front.
Great for brightening up your shelves

Had another look at the name and .................
Swash (uprush and backwash), in geography, is the water that washes up on shore after an incoming wave has broken. This action will cause sand and other light particles to be transported up the beach. The direction of the swash varies with the prevailing wind, whereas the backwash is always perpendicular to the coastline. This may cause longshore drift.
In short, the back up for the main force
So Swash ?? or...........
Uprush sounds kind of cool.

Nice custom, and I agree about Q Force - the colours are really nice to work with. It does make finding a good base figure tricky though.
One untapped source figure is Airtight. Paint his green bits Blue or red and maybe change the head and he'd be a great base figure for Q Force and won't paint rub!!!

You could call him Pugwash, and write a Finbar Saunders style filecard?
Nice custom by the way, You're right about the colour combos.
