Is the blue and gray suit Tomax or Xamot? I used the same recipe for my twins. The other has a gray blazer with blue pants.
It's supposed to be Xamot (need to either get a red tie suit guy or paint this one) - the way I figure it, he absorbed Tamox in the womb or otherwise killed him as a child and so now Tomax is a figment of his imagination. I was actually thinking of doing something with Zartan where Zarana & Zandar were just elements of his dissociative identity disorder (so I wouldn't have to make customs), but decided I liked the idea better for Xamot. He thinks he's in a room with his twin, but other people only see him.

I like the red shadows too but I'm honestly not a fan of the Marauder skull balaclavas.. The red mouth looks a bit clownish, maybe something like Joker's goons would wear. IMO the simple black masks would look more intimidating. I really dig the black and red combo on what I assume is Baron Ironblood with the hood.
I'm actually with you on that - and I'm going to be swapping out the heads when I get them. I thought this would work and it fell flat. I actually tried it with black skull-balaclavas and they looked better, tbh, but still looked... off.
The hooded guy is just what I made from leftover parts when I built the Black Major/General Blitz mashup - was thinking of making him the RS mad scientist or something to push him away from being just another CC "repaint". I'll figure something out eventually - the priority for these guys is on finishing my Skeletron & Kraken figs. In my little 'verse - the Red Shadows were the enemies of Joe Colton's Special Ops team - so Iron Blood and some others are long dead (again - fewer customs to have to make
) and these guys are rebuilding themselves on a smaller scale and now harass the Adventure Team. But with the Roboskull kickstarter bringing even more figs to the table, I may have to expand the team some more.
Thanks!
