Aries was created sort of by accident. I was in the process of repainting a squad of the new Pursuit of Cobra Iron Grenadiers, and got the wild idea to give one of them a removable Nullifier helmet. I liked it so much, I decided to make him the squad leader. As such, I decided that he needed a weapon that was truly special, so I came up with this one. He didn't have a name until chapter 19 of the HissTank RPG started and I saw that one of the IG Commanders was named Aries, after the Greek god of war. Here is what the GameMaster wrote about the character: "Aries is from somewhere in the Balkans, southeastern Europe. He comes from many generations of mountain warfare specialists. He was recruited by the Iron Grenadiers after he took out an entire squadron of IG troopers during a raid on his town. His men say he is a hard man born for warfare." To me, this was just perfect. I hope you like him!
Parts: Head (25th Anniversary Battle Armor Cobra Commander), Helmet (ARAH Nullifier), Rotary cannon (Star Wars Galactic Marine), Figure, body armor, backpack and ammunition belt (PoC Iron Grenadier).
