I know the obvious would be Hawk (he is general after all) as King but what about the rest?

The Cobra team could perhaps also consist of other members so any suggestions would be welcome (I only have CG´s in sufficient numbers for pawns so cant change that in my photo). My thought was a Destro set with Destro v2, Baroness, Voltar, Annihilator, TARGAT and Iron Grenadier (King,Queen,Bishop,Knight,Rook,Pawn)?

What about G.I. Joe Colton as King, G.I. Jane as queen, :afstalker: as bishop, :snakeeyes: as knight, :scarlett: as rook and ROC Pit Commandos as pawns? maybe even with :duke: as the other bishop, Kamakura as the other knight and :roadblock: as the other rook...
I tried to think about other factions as chess pieces, but most lack a queen.

It's only right that you use Rook!

But Rook is from Steel Brigade, whir are better for pawns. Oh, the irony!
Dreadnoks can have Zarana and Iron Grenadiers can have :baroness: (maybe she could be replaced by Vypra or munitia in the :cobra: group?), but :enemy: and Headhunters... I don't think :major: or Gristle would like to be called queens :lol:
