Urban Assault Shadow

Post by scoobydie »

Probably not everyones cup of tea, but after Ross putting all those great Vipers up it got me wondering if the Shads
should have some urban troops.
Not 100% about the head but can always change that.
Kind of think the black and red cammo goes quite well, bit pointless in the cities but hey hoe:)

Guy in the grey is taken from the Battle files somewhere.
See if I can dig out some pics."edit" Baron to the rescue :)
The camo darkens the bright red down a little, run out of the usual colour and this seemed a novel way of dumbing it down.

That's a Lampreys head. And my oh my is it used well here. Having never considered what an urban Red Shadow would look like before, I declare this should be the standard for them now on...


the rest of the recipe looks to be the arms and waist from a 1991 Eco Deep Six and legs from 1986 General Hawk. Am I right?

NICE!
ive had this idea for ages now of a renegade cobra group, sick of bad treatment & low pay forming their own organization funded by bank robbery & working as mercenaries for the highest bidder which is what i would eventually use all my vipers for.

I hate that gun though I have it in 2 different shades of orange it looks terrible with the second Astro Viper and TARGAT from the Star Brigade range,to me it doesn't resemble any kind of gun at all.
