The Raggers Army

I've been making my first BrikWar army and so first I made a sweet hero.
My hero is basically the old Anakin minifig (like episode ii type) with a blue rag tied around his mouth and nose and a cape. As for a weapon? He masterfully wields his MP5. My hero has 3 bodyguards: a marksman clone with a bloodstained tabard, an undead halberd knight, nd lastly a swordsman. Once my hero was done i decided to make a couple (yes, literally only 2) of squads and so they became the Heroic Workforce and the Hardcore Students. All of them became Raggers by wearing the rag. Since i got my basic assortment of footsloggers and red shirts i decided they needed tanks. And so the raggers got tanks built for them and each tank has its own captain. Maybe in some Brikwars i can reveal their looks to you but not now. I don't know if i'll use both of the tanks in a single battle but i built the dragon class tank to sorta resemble a Predator annihilator from warhammer 40k and as for the baboon class...no idea. The ragger's army is going to continue to gain and possibly lose parts until i get what think is good!


For Pictures check out my brickshelf!

Also, i realize the camera quality isn't great so im gonna try to use the FBI's nice one but if you do have any photography tips to improve to image quality please let me know. Im always trying to improve :)

Uhm, maybe im making a mistake here, but it seems the Folder isn't public yet. If you want comments it would sure help if we could view the pics.

omgcolormyeyes!!!

for picture help, set your camera to "macro mode" or "detail mode" if you can. also, use a tripod or stack of books if you can to reduce blur.

um, hate to be critical, but your vehicles don't have treads.
or wheels.
or any other sort of propulsion.
that's a slight problem, i believe.

Indeed.

Maybe they simply don't move.

does this belong in the Reports from the field sub-forum?
no
other than that the only thing i don't like is the many, many colors

good start

Actually if you read the sub-text of "Reports From The Field" it says you can share armies here.

Fail.

That was one of the few times I laughed at the term "fail".

hey, even hover technology needs pads or something actually under the tank. from what i can see in the photo, the tanks are just resting on the carpet.
