Brik Battles - New Minifig Design

Hola,

Cool. The detail is great. It most has a ninja mercenary look

Beautifully done. Some suggestions: I think the assymetrical black shoulder guard conflicts a bit with the vertical gray bands that also go to the shoulders. It's almost a case of I'd do one or the other, but not both. The winged sword design is very attractive, so what I would probably do is remove the shoulder piece and use the back gray strap on the front also.

An alternative would be to remove the gray straps (for want of a better word) entirely and use two shoulder guards. That would give you a second torso clearly from the same faction, but I slightly different look. But the same kind of thing could be achieved by varying the actual torso color of the fig, or the arms. I can see gray, black and red combinations for those all working.

That sword design is tizzight! Is it of your design? It seems very familiar to me.

Nice torso designs, they all look very good!

Naa... unfortuanatly not...

The design is from an old Warhammer40K graphic. Never played the game, but love their artwork.

I am still in the process of finalizing some of the designs. Once I get the main designs for the faction roughed, I will tweak them. I agree on the pauldron. Thanks.

Thanks for all the comments & suggestions. I am working on a few new ones & will keep you updated.

I like the torso designs: they look cool and very official. And they are sights beyond what KK2 is coming out with. :?
