First up, I've finally ended up with a name for the group. I based them in England, though they go where needed to do their assignments, and folded it into the British way of naming things for the war effort. Thus we have the OSS(E) or rather the Office of Special Services (Enhanced). The Office of Special Service (Empowered) was formed shortly after the regular Office of Special Service. Pulling in operatives from multiple allied nations, mainly the British Empire and the United States, this organization operates under the mandate to support allied campaigns, counter Axis empowered operatives, and deal with various empowered and occult investigations. They also assist with protecting high ranking Allied politicians and officers from nontraditional threats.
A working class occult detective and con man in London, he often consults and assists
with some of the more bizarre investigations that occur in England. He was tapped to
lead this new organization. This model was originally a Roy Raymond Jr. Clix.
Other than a rebasing, I think he stands in well for Constantine.
Volunteer who with the use of a secret serum became a United States super soldier
who can be used as officer in normal Bolt Action Games This model was the WW2
Clix version of Captain America. He got a wash layer, a Bolt Action Tommy Gun, and
some Bolt Action ammo pouches.
British commando from a moderately influential family who can be used as squad
leader in normal Bolt Action Games. This is the Union Jack Clix with a Bolt Action
Tommy Gun, pouches, and a backpack to give him a more commando look.
Part of a line of British descendants of Sir Percy of Scandia destined to be the wielder
of enchanted medieval sword. I really liked the look of this Clix when it arrived and I
only did a rebasing.
Current chosen champion of the Lady of the Lake and imbued with the enhanced
abilities from the Spirit of Britain itself. This is the one I created using Captain
Britain as a rough guide as well as other WW2 era characters such as Spirit of
America and Uncle Sam
Atlantean Prince temporarily assisting the Allied cause. Other than a light wash to show
detail on the Clix, all that he needed was a rebasing.
Android created by US Scientist capable of turning into flame and flight. As an android,
he's a pretty interesting backstory and just had to be part of the group. This model had a
really nice look to it and just got rebased.
Daughter of a minor British noble who was a WW1 superhero, she gained super
speed due to a combination of being bitten by a vampire and a resulting blood
transfusion from the android Human Torch. This member of the Marvel
Invaders just got a rebase and is set to be the team's speedster.
A stunt pilot, found an experimental jet pack and put it to use assisting the US war
effort. This model definitely was the one that had the most done to it. It started
out as an Aztec Hero Clix. The Jacket and gloves were repainted from black to brown
leather, a slight wash over the white pants for a more of a khaki colored look, the
helmet repainted from copper to brass, a converted 40K Imperial Guard flamethrower
pack converted to his rocket pack, and then lastly a rebasing. I've always like the concept
of the Rocketeer for his 40s Pulp style and I'm pretty happy with how he came out.
Member of the multinational Blackhawk Squadron and can be used as a forward air
observer in a regular Bolt Action game. This team wouldn't have been complete
without a representative of the elite group of international pilots, the Blackhawks.
Lady Blackhawk was the only one of the two options in Clix that I liked the look of,
so she got to join the team.
US scientist with a gas gun used to sedate his enemies. Another iconic member of the
Justice Society who I just had to include. This Clix had the iconic look down well, so
I just rebased this model.
Imbued with enhanced speed, strength, and stamina by a mystical connection
through the Liberty Bell to the Spirit of America. This character has a very
convoluted and complex backstory that I'll admit to greatly trimming down to
use here. As far as working with the model, the pants received a good wash to
get closer to a khaki color as the shade of yellow that they were painted was
waaaay to close to flesh color and at a glance, she looked to be naked from the
waist down. After that, she just received the standard rebasing.
Daughter of a US Senator, who uses a "Black Light Projector" to blind her enemies
and turn herself invisible I liked how they pulled off the change from visible to
invisible on this Clix, so all I did was the rebasing.
US Army tank driver who gained super strength during a battle against a German
super soldier by accidentally absorbing some of his powers. Another fairly iconic
member of the DC Justice Society, the Atom seemed like a good fit for the team.
All the Clix needed was a rebase.
British scientist who uses his research into optics and light refraction to turn himself
invisible. He agreed to help the British war effort in exchange for pardons for
crimes he committed. I liked the role he played in the League of Extraordinary
Gentlemen and wanted to include him. The Clix was one called Invisible Kid and
just got a rebase to fit in with the rest.
I have a couple models that I got because I like the look of them. One I think is going to end up as the Green Hornet and the other is going to end up as the western themed JLA character Vigilante. I also am trying to find a Thor Clix I like to represent Norway and Denmark. The other possible members I'm keeping a look out for options to use include Phantom (the Ghost Who Walks), a Dr Fate, Hawkman, and perhaps a JSA Green Lantern.
Anyway, that's all for now and thanks for visiting. Don't forget to stop over at Da Long Wayz Dezert Groop to follow Cheef's work on one of my Leviathan Dreadnoughts. He's just really getting started with it and it should be a lot of fun seeing what all he does.
Captain America is still the best of the bunch!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. That is just so cool.
DeleteYeah, that one came out really well.
