Hammerstein NWC Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) I present to you the crew of the Black Hole Barracuda -a space hulk that drifts through the void terrorising all those foolish enough to cross its path. Scroll down for individual bio' of the dastardly crew! Cap'n Jolly Roger himself, The Most fearsome of his race, Jolly Roger is a Skullker, a species of creatures originating from the Beranveen Death Planet. He is a fearsome close assault specialist and master tactician. He literally has no fear and skant regard for the well being of his crew. Given that they are all borderline psychotics, they don't really care either. Capable of surviving in almost any environment, his durability has led to his century long tenure as captain of the Barracuda. Arabella is Cyren. Using her psionic powers she is able to guide the Barracuda through the invisible Void pools of the Drift. She can also broadcast psychic messages back to the home beacons of her people scattered throughout the galaxy. Indeed this is the only way of sending messages from within the Void. Some would question why such a pretty and seemingly frail creature would ally herself with the Crew of the Barracuda, truth be known she is mentally unbalanced with the ability to melt people's minds... It's best not mentioned however as it tends to upset her…. A denizen of the Scorpio Cluster. He is chief Surgeon for the Barracuda. His limited understanding of other creatures physiology means his most usual treatment is amputation. His race can grow back limbs so where's the problem (Puny Humans)? He also enjoys manufacturing, repairing and tinkering with cybernetics. The two things are most likely entirely unrelated… Smokin Joe Ravan is the Ships lookout and leads the away team. He can be found in "the Crow's Nest" which is another name for the observation deck. He is quite, quite mad and can often be found squawking away to himself and his multiple personalities, as such he's usually left to his own devices as conversation with him can be murder. A fearsome lunar shark and apex predator from the Sea of Tranquility. Jaws McGraw is in charge of keeping the crew in line, a more vicious collection of lunatics, psychotics and ne'er do wells you will not find. Jaws is fearlessly loyal to the Cap'n having been raised from a small fry. Dr. Barben created an exo frame for him, unshackling him from the limitations of his usual zero-G environment. Mekzog is a Space Ork Mechanic. He is in charge of keeping the space hulk moving. He is never seen without his shape changing Parrot "Polymorph" or his exoframe which he built to augment his already impressive strength. Polymorph can change shape into a giant swiss army knife which he finds infinitely useful, just as well because this is the only shape Polly can morph into. Other than engines, Mekzog loves to drink. his favourite tipple is battery acid. It makes him flatulent hence his second name... Edited April 29, 2015 by Hammerstein NWC Quote
Balthazar Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Really awesome crew! Arabella Moonsong (beautiful name btw) is my favorite character Quote
Graham Gidman Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Like I said on Flickr, amazing combos! Quote
Yzalirk Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Awesome minifigs, Doctor Barbem looks crazy! Quote
VolumeX Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Nice1, love the creative flair you've injected into all the crew! Quote
Dardanel Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I am amazed by your crew :D Great work on all of them! Could you please tell me where you got "the support" (the part that looks like it's from a skeleton) for Joe Ravan's legs? Quote
Hammerstein NWC Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks all for the positive feedback! These came together nicely in the end! :) Good luck to everyone for the contest! @Dardanel - the legs with bars are from Cyborg Darth Maul. Quote
Master_Data Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Your entry is amazing! Good luck, although it looks like you have it all on your side already! Quote
Hammerstein NWC Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 Thanks Master Data! I hope people like the builds enough to consider a vote! There are so many really cool entries to the contest! Quote
plasticpolymerlove Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Marvellous looking set of characters as usual and Smokin Joe Ravan is just crazy cool! Quote
Praiter Yed Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 As I said on flickr, Smokin' Joe is my favourite but they're all brilliant. I find the tongue on Jolly Roger (great idea btw - creating a 'living' pirate flag) quite creepy. Good work on the presentation - make's your crew nice and clear on the voting page. Quote
