Blood for the Baron!

ok, think ive decided on the characters now:
snake eyes
beach head
gung ho
leather neck
ship wreck
big ben
all sporting new duds + a couple of newbs, dont wanna go killing off any regulars!

got the atc, (thanks golden puma!), the moray, patrol boat for the joes & should soon have a small chopper, but i still need a damn blackhawk! let me know if you can help!

will take me a few weeks to get everything painted, so gives me a bit of time to write all the text & finalise the storyline, but it centeres around a new terror threat that the joes will have to deal with........ but cobra might just show up too.......

not sure how long it's going to be, would like it to be ongoing but i have no patience so it's gonna be hard not to rush it & post it all up in one go! will all be outside, mostly around the river i used before, but also a couple of other spots ive found.

heres a sneak peak of one of the new bad guys.... doesnt have a name yet, but it will be cap'n something, he's a drunken old river pirate with one leg & a parrot! thought about giving him a hook, but decided it was a bit much so was looking for an artificial hand but decided to go for an artificial leg instead! (havent painted the new leg yet)
any ideas for a name? only one i came up with was black jack.
BUT IM GETTING DESPERATE FOR A BLACKHAWK!

Is that a Mega Marines 'Mirage' lower leg? It looks good. I think I know why you wanted that Eye Patch figure from me now.....shh. Say no more.

Hoorah! Please tell me that isn't a Night Force Tunnel Rat Torso and arms. I'll cry if you customized a Night Force figure.

tunnel rat......... V1! dont worry.

This guy is looking great, reminds me of one of the vietnamese river pirates from First blood part II.

I think he needs a shotgun slung over his shoulder perhaps ?

Cap'n Forage ?
Cap'n Ransack ?
Cap'n Heinous ?
Cap'n Swarthy ?
Cap'n Tenebrous ?

Im rubbish with names but I think he needs something dark and forboding ?

Cap'n Blackhawk
Cap'n Warhawk

Ripped Warhawk off Rambo and the Forces of Freedom but it sounds great

funny you should say about the shotgun, i got one waiting for him @ the studio!
was thinking about cap'n blood but seems a bit close to the baron?

quite like those, but im thinking if its gonna be an animal, would be better if it was a sea creature maybe?
does "cap'n shark" sound stupid? what about cap'n kraken? do like cap'n black, black seems to be common in pirate names, but should it be black something? if so, black what?!

BlackHawk ! ........ sorry .......

How about Cap'n Blackshark?
