Back during the Middle Ages, Cobra was already a force.  They were ahead of their time and were able to influence peoples far and wide, and agents of great skill and wealth were employed.  Sometime during the middle ages word came of a strange Doctor who was gather heroes of the era to battle Cobra.  To combat this, Cobra put together its best Warriors from around the world (Yes Cobra had the power to do so) in a Kill team.  These are 3 of the members.


Lord Black Adder (and yes this is named after who you think it is ;) )
Hailing from western Europe, this Lord was very influential and powerful, he had his own Keep and township as well as a personal Army of what he called "The Crimson Templar".  He is a high ranking agent of Cobra and an extremely skilled swordsman.  His armor, helmet and shield style was strangely familiar to Dr. Relativity...though in a much cruder style and condition. 




The Desert Spider
Hailing from what is now known as the Middle East.  The Desert Spider is a wealthy merchant, who also serves as a link to the far east and west.  But do not let his guise as a merchant fool you, he is a dangerous assassin.  He is skilled in stealth, and close quarters combat.  He holds great influence to the Persian lords. 




Du-She Jiang-Jun (The Viper General in Chinese)
The leader of the Cobra Kill Team.  Hailing from the great kingdom of China, this powerful and skilled general is said to have the valor of the great warriors Xiang Yu and Lu Bu, and the cunning, intellect of strategic mind of Sun Tzu and Cao Cao.  He is the match of 10,000 warriors.  He has fought in many a battle and is a fitting leader and high ranking Cobra Agent.  It is he who will lead his worldwide team to defeat this "Dr. Relativity" and secure Cobra's destiny!





Notes:
The team is self is only suppose to be some of the more prominent members, there are many more agents.
I went for a crude worn "iron" look and red color scheme.  Im extremely happy at how the metal look turned out, which is silver paint with a black wash, it really has an old time feel (not sure if it can be see in the pics).  I also wanted to touch multiple cultures as we don't see it nearly enough.

Parts:

The Desert Spider:
I gave his skin a dark wash to make it look like he was in the desert and caked with dirt, I wanted him to have a Middle Eastern feel.
POC SS head and scarf
Skiff Zartan Torso and Arms
Neo Viper legs
ROC Zartan Sword
Scarlett Crossbow

Lord Black Adder:
A knight who I wanted to be sort of a link to something the modern cobra has, I added some crude metal plating on the armor to give it a more old time and crude look so not to look totally like CCs armor.  Alley Viper influence (or vice-versa?) for the helm and shield.
Broken Arrow Helm and head and Shield
Hands are serpentors
Armor CC with sculpting for the rest of the body.
Serpentor Sword

Du-She Jiang-jun
Romance of 3 kingdoms influenced.  It is mainly made up of the crappy whirl wind SS from POC.  It honestly isnt a terrible sculpt except for the head and he made a perfect base for a Chinese General, he even came with a Guan-Dao (Chinese Cresent moon halberd).  The metal like paint worked out best on him, at least in person it looks amazing.
Resolute Soldier Helm and head with Spike and Tassel sculpted on.
Body arms and legs from POC SS
Modified skirt (cutting out the back part so it looks like Chinese leg guards) from Serpentor
Cape from Comic Pack SS.

There was originally going to be a 4th custom using Serpentor but it looked too similar to Sectors so I opted not to finish him.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
