Hey all
So I've really enjoyed all the latest Corps stuff Lanard has put out recently and it inspired me to come up with new customs and character concepts...

First up just a few corrective surgeries allowing the static characters to move...

Dozer
Recoil (still needs paint apps to match his original)
Buckshot

Now onto some new character concepts, customs and repaints...
Some of these are customs Im currently working on and others are photoshop mock-ups. The profile images are photoshopped from Lenil Yu's original artworks.







Dread is actually a refresh of Simon "Plague" Crill but because Shadow now uses that codename I thought why not use a new one and have a new backstory to go with it.
The new line hasn't got any Marauder characters (yet?) as we have the Corps vs the Curse but I thought why not keep them around as a 2nd antagonistic force perhaps even having to team up with the Corps on occasion to fight the common threat of the Curse... So for this version of Crill I figured he is now the leader of the Marauders after Ravage goes missing and is presumed dead. (his palette is based on a Curse 12 inch figure that looks a lot like Crill...http://d1whee3s2ff61n.cloudfront.net/pr ... 5082_C.jpg)

In the original video clip on the CorpsHQ website we saw some sweet Marauder troops


We never got them in figure format so I decided to try mock them up using existing parts (plus a new head I designed based on the video)





Some more characters




There was a comic released for the Corps but it was only one issue before it got canceled. It had a new female character called Dusk. Now that Lanard has female characters I thought it would be neat to try create some more females...






I have more ideas and characters that I want to do but what do you think of these so far? Something you wouldn't mind seeing in the new line of figures?

New Tundra Team recruits

The presentation on these is great, I'm just not familiar enough with Corps stuff to tell what's been modified. But that also means you're doing great on the editing!

Thanks, because the M.O of Lanard seems to be heavy parts re-use (ala the 80's Masters of the Universe line) Ive designed these keeping that in mind to keep costs down but be able to create new characters.

I was gonna suggest you bring these over here.

Howzit Harlie!
Yeah I always planned to but took me a while to get round to it... lol

Here are the last two members of The Corps! Tundra Team (or Arctic Assault Force)
Blizzard


And Kodiak (the concept for this figure was provided by Harlie Krieger)

Nice characters. I have to give Lanard credit for keeping the Corps! Line going. The fodder is easy to find and if your creative, some nice customs can be made. I especially like the Tundra Team.

Thanks Josh
yeah the main aim of this is to show Lanard and fans how far you can go creating new characters with the existing parts (obviously new head sculpts would be ideal in most cases however Lanard have shown in their new products how repainting heads can create a new character altogether ie: the Ravage/Diesel head)

I would have no problem if Lanard wanted use any of these ideas! lol

And with that said, here's another character!

A little backstory for this one first.
After Simon Crill assumes leadership of the Marauders he makes a few cosmetic changes in uniforms and their logo and now refers to the organisation as the "New Marauders" With the rising threat of the Curse, he goes about bolstering their ranks and one of his first new recruits is Gerhard "Mako" Kramer. Kramer is a former mercenary and ruthless modern-day pirate hailing from South Africa...

I have some I did back when I had more time. I will have to borrow your idea and post them. I incorporated some other heads in with them to add variety.

That Buckshot has a nice head, like Sgt. Slaugter wearing a helmet!

Today I have two new additions to the New Marauders! I will post one this morning and the next one later in the day.

Our first New Marauder today is a demolitions expert hailing from Nigeria, here is "BLASTER"!

He is made from a Fixer/Crash torso, and the head and arms of one of the Roo figures (arms were also used on 'Troll') and Shadow legs.
