nice. Just curious what use does a crimson army really have? As in how would they be used in the joe-verse? It still looks sweet. Does your army include anyone who has a dominant red color?

Realy nice and a great idea.  I never tought to regroup all my Crimson figures together.
The AVAC, Bootleg troopers and Red Laser fit very well with others. 
I realy like your army :)

The Crimson team is a highly trained army... and they need to be well prepared to fight... my night force team  :shifty:

Lookin' good.  That organization is enough to make Command and Conquer proud.


Too bad there's always different shades of blue.  Wish they'd have settled on a formula and stuck with it...

Nevertheless, pretty spiffy

I don't understand either... even Cobra commander has his light blue and dark blue outfit.

It's like GI Joe's green. The VAMP, MMS, APC, AWE, Skyhawk, etc. They all have different shade of green.

Very Nice idea, this reminds me of a conversation we had earlier when we met on the boards, and I'm glad that it finally came to fruition with these pictures.

I remember also telling you not liking the grey Headhunter bats because I found they didn't go with many of my Cobra forces, but now I see how they can look just as good with the grey vipers and the right amount of troops.

You now need Blue BATS ( It would be cool if they make them!!! ) just so that they can motivate your blue Vipers and prevent them from deserting the battlefield, yep that's what BATS are best known for.

You could get a couple of TRAHC blue Undertows to go with your blue Hydrofoil, they just seem like the natural choice of blue frogmen.

Are you intending to have same single characters in all of your factions ( Ex: blue Firefly, red Firefly, grey Firefly )?

Or does each team have their unique commanders and specialists?

Nice. Are all those original colours or are they custom? Because I don`t recongnize some, but I`m fairly new and don`t know all the special packs.

No customs there, but a bunch of convention figures that you might not be familiar with, such as the red vipers or the gray bats.

Raptor is right, no customs there... except for the Blue Hydrofoil (there is a convention Blue deck Hydrofoil, but mine is painted blue)

There are 3 "rare" type of figs, most in the Crimson side:
  • Red Laser (like a Crimson Cobra commander)... from the UK Action Force
  • Convention figs (like 2002 Crimson set: Baroness, Tomax, Xamot, Vipers or the 2008 Grey BATS)
  • Repro soldiers from China (not Hasbro legit figs): Crimson trooper, White Trooper, etc.

Enjoy!
