Yes, I know, I must be torturing everybody by now with my pictures of my army but since I deleted my pictures on photobucket of my last army it by accidentally got rid of all the pictures I have on my post last post. I took this time to mod my army further and I think I really made a great positive change.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0431.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0431.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

First of all, this is my normal soldier army; there are riot control soldiers, flamers (Not d a p p e r soldiers) that are soldiers with flamethrowers, and basic soldiers.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0433.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0433.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is a close up of the leader of this squad; he is equipped with to assault rifles and a utility pack on him right.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0436.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0436.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0437.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0437.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is what a typical flamer looks like, equip with a flamethrower, separate oxygen tank in the back and an air filtering mask.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0440.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0440.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0441.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0441.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is what a typical riot control soldier looks like, equip with a riot mask, riot shield, and shotgun.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0444.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0444.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Lastly, this is what a typical soldier looks like equip with a double barrel sub machine gun.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0421.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0421.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is my new sniper squad equip with a camouflaging cloak, knife, and high caliber rifle.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0425.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0425.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is a close up of a typical sniper.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0427.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0427.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is my new demolition squad, there leader is in the front equip with two double barreled sub machine guns, dynamite, and grenades.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0428.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0428.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is what a normal demolition soldier looks like equip with a double-barreled sub machine gun, and grenades strung across the chest.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0391.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0391.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is some other weapon the demolition soldiers can choose to use. (this is one of the two pictures I'm using that i used in my last post, every other picture is completely different.)

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0407.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0407.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is the sweeper squad; they got their name due to their tendencies to sweep through an entire area and kill anything that moves. They are the most feared squad of all; they show no emotions or let them get in their way of their job. There are 4 types of sweepers, there is the leader sweeper, which is the guy in the front, the jackhammer sweeper to the left because his gun looks like a jackhammer, shocker scouts which are on the right. Shocker scouts got their name because they have a binocular headset and highly powerful shooting tazer, and lastly normal sweeper soldiers, which are in the back.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0409.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0409.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0410.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0410.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

These are close ups of the sweeper leader, equip with a very powerful gatlin gun, and walky talky.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0370.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0370.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is a standard sweeper soldier.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0411.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0411.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0413.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0413.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is the jackhammer sweeper, as you can see he is equip with a big powerful machine gun that kind of looks like a jackhammer.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0414.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0414.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0415.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0415.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is a shocker scout sweeper, he has a binocular headset, walky talky, and tazer that shoots from it's holder and it grapples to your body but it doesn't shock you, it fries your body...

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0419.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0419.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0420.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0420.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is what my new scout soldier design looks like; he has a highly focused laser canon.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0403.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0403.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0405.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0405.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is my first medic design, he has a healing gun, and needle gun. I would like it if some people could give me some advice on how to spice my medics up.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0430.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0430.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Lastly, this is my new leader of every squad; he has a huge-ass flamethrower, a peg leg, hook, and a strange hat. I know he looks weird but I wanted him to.

<a href="http://s174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0445.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w92/ ... CF0445.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

This is an overview of my entire army made up of 28 soldiers.
Hope you like it :D

i think that what your medik needs is a) gloves, and b) more interesting color scheme.

you've got that blue patch on his chest. if you can find gloves and epaulets in that shade of blue, you're set. failing that, you may just want a different torso. the open shirt and pen in pocket aren't exactly common battledress.

there's an older torso that has a red cross on it in the same spot. pair that up with red sleeves and red pants, and yo've got a good combat medik. i've paired this with black gloves and a black head (with red helmet, and somewhat distinct) for great effect.

Ok, enough with the constructive criticism, that comes later.

Your army is extremely badass, Smalex! Everyone is very cool looking and well designed.

Thank you for all of the comments, I'll work on the medic some more and now that I have an army, I will start to make vehicles.

also your hero looks very out of place so you should probaly use a grey or black torso.

That looks good, Smalex. Really good :)
Let's see if I come up with any ideas..

First of all, the demolition squad should have some better weapons. You know, Noisy Cricket or an assault rifle. Some other SMG or a shotgun could be better, but I definitely wouldn't give them the same weapon as the normal trooper.

The scout. That laser cannon he's holding looks like he stealed it from the sweapers or the demolition squad. He's a scout. He should have some small, fast weapon. Automatic pistol or some unique SMG, or something like that.

The medic. He looks extremely odd. If you want to try a different colorscheme, get one of those R.E.S.Q. white/orange bodies and give him Luke's helmet, which has red Rebellion symbols in it. We had one of those some time ago, and it didn't look too bad. And that grey backpack doesn't look too good with a white minifig, so either get him smaller, white one or leave him without any.

Other than that, I'd say you've done a pretty good job. But I have to say, I don't like your hero too much. He's too ... messy :?

I can see some minor similarities, but nothing to call the plagiarism police about.

I know, it's just something I noticed while I was glancing over the pics.

Nice army; somehow a dislike the xxxtra-sized guns. It's a bit irreal, but totally suits Brikwars!

unlike almost everyone else on the forums, I am a huge fan of your hero. He is extremely BrikWars.

On a side note: I think Brikwars makes a perfectly good adjective, verb, and adverb, as opposed to just simply a noun, don't you agree?

Wow! That guy just got Brikwarsed in the face with a motorcycle! That was so Brikwars I think I peed my pants!

If you don't shut up while I'm trying to study I swear I'll take this pencil and Brikwars you right in the eye.

As the enemy army collapsed in terror around him, Commander "Bad" Moe Faux Brikwarsily drew his laser pistol and Brikwarsed every last one of them. He then recited his favorite Bible passage, which he probably made up (just to be Brikwars).
