So a buddy of mine was telling me about how he made his old 3rd edition guard army to resemble cobra from the ji goe series. And after reminescing on days gone past with a real american hero I want to follow suit in my guard army. Here is what i'm thinking.

Creed = Cobra Commander
Kell =
Straken = Major Bludd
Marbo = Storm Shadow
Yarrick = Baroness
Harker = Zartan
Al’Rahem =
Chenkov =
Mogul Khamir =
Pask =
Bastonne = Destro
Nork Deddog =

I have cadians for the cobra soldiers, then steel legion for the vipers.
was thinking about getting a squad of death korps to be Destro's Iron Grenaiders.

I need a little help finding some decent models to start this project, I need to find a hot looking baroness model to start out with, any ideas guys, maybe some advice as to the character role fillings, and wat not, thanks.

For some reason I'm seeing Marbo as Zartan just for the infiltration abilities.

Yarrick as the Baroness? Only if Thraka is Duke, and that creates it's only bizarre fan fics.

Maybe Megatron (from variousl crossovers) as Pask?

Nork=Mindbender (just for the Irony)

Now, where to put Tomax and Xamot. (I think I spelled that right, if not-it's been years since I've looked at the original stuff and we just got the movie for Christmas)

I was thinking Big Boa as Nork. You could do the bodyguard as Alley Vipers, missile launchers as HEAT Vipers, heavy bolter teams as SAW Vipers, etc. The army, even the squads, would lose a lot of cohesion like that, though. One squad with blue, red, purple, and yellow models in it would be pretty jarring and could be tough to pick out which squad is which. It does sound like a fun idea.

Body Guards = Crimson Guard Immortals
Veterans = Alley Vipers, Night Vipers, Rock Vipers, and numerous others.
Stormtroopers = Crimson Guard, Iron Grenadiers.
Troops = Vipers
Heavy Weapons Teams = HEAT Vipers (missiles), SAW Vipers (Heavy Bolters) (as stated above)
Penal unit = Zartan and the Dreadnoks
Conscripts = Cobra Troopers

Master of Ordnance = Scrap Iron
Psycker = Crystal Ball
Officer of the Fleet = Copperhead (considered Cobra Naval Commander in later years)
