This was such a simple figure to put together. The hardest part was painting the stupid eyeballs on this guy. The rest was cake. A simple headswap and minor repaint and I have my Arctic Rock 'n' Roll. I considered using the white Snow Job body (since I like my arctic figs to be in white) but I figured he's carrying a loud machine gun so it's not like he's going to be sneaking up on anyone. So I threw the Broken Arrow Toys head on the Arctic Snake-eyes body, gave him some camo pants and a custom Marauder Mini-Gun and he's all ready for making snow angels.

Head: Broken Arrow Toys
Body: 25th Arctic Snake-eyes
Gun: Marauder Mini Gun (modified)

Rock 'n' Roll is a true soldier. He fights wherever needed and outfits himself in whatever gear is necessary to get the job done. In the desolate tundra of the arctic he dons a heavy winter jacket and fatigue snow pants. Rock 'n' Roll knows that efficiency is the key in any environment but especially in the arctic where the decision to carry food instead of ammo can be a life or death question. Since he's always on the cutting edge of weapon development, when duty calls him to the cold he grabs his XMLMG-6 laser mini gun. A modified version of the XMLR-3 laser rifle, the XMLMG-6 uses gatling gun mechanics with the efficiency of a laser rifle. What makes it so useful on the tundra is the user no longer needs to carry heavy ammunition. Instead a high-capacity battery is what powers this dangerous weapon, leaving the user with more pack room for supplies that might be more vital in the cold.

That is an awesome looking figure. Love it. That is the perfect head choice to go with that body. And for some reason he comes across as being more versatile to me than Arctic combat only. Could be a night force or night ops, even in cold but non-arctic settings.

Nice MS, the only thing i would change is his boots, to give him more of an artic look, great work on the camo paint apps.

Looks awesome...nice job on the camo! I woulda liked to see more...um arctic-y colors for the camo, but it really looks good!

mod the gun to be the mini laser, I think the barrels work, but maybe switch the ammo box with more of a power cell, but thats just splitting hairs on a very fun figure.

Anytime I see an arctic figure that's not all-white, I'm happy. That's a very nice color scheme.
