Tutorial on How to Paint/Mod this Figure

_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Snow Job was a major Olympic Biathlon contender, who enlisted for the special training and support privileges that the Army gives to Olympic champions. It's been suggested that he got his nickname more from being a con artist, than from his primary military specialty on the arctic ski patrol. His secondary specialty is rifle instructor, and he is a qualified expert with all NATO long range sniper rifles, and the XMLR-3A laser rifle.
Unlike some of the other environment specialists on the G.I. Joe Team, Snow Job doesn't thrive on the cold, but he accepts that the chilly environments are the best place to showcase his incredible skills. He is considered one of the best marksmen on the team. He is known for setting up practical jokes, especially on new recruits.

ARCTIC COMMANDO
Snow Job, and all friendly Soldier and Commando figures within 4 clear sight spaces of Snow Job, add 1 to their Defense number while on an ice or snow space.

SKIS
When moving Snow Job, slippery ice and heavy snow only count as 1 space, and when moving onto an ice or snow space, he never takes any leaving engagement attacks. If Snow Job starts his turn on an ice or snow space, he may add 3 to his Move number if the entire movement is on ice or snow.

BIATHLON SNIPER
Snow Job can attack up to 2 times with his normal attack at any point before, during, or after moving normally as long as Snow Job attacks from a space where he could end his movement. Once per round, before attacking with Snow Job's normal attack, you may add 2 to his Range number and 1 automatic skull to that attack.

Nothing really to add here, he's a niche terrain soldier and an elegant design.

[MrNobody]

Yep, solid, not much to say but I like him.

Would you want to open up Arctic Commando's defense bonus to Commandoes as well? If the Joes end up being a mix of those two classes, it'd be odd for Snow Job to only boost some of them.

That is what I had in my original right-up for Snow Job. I changed it because it seemed all the commandos were pretty much environmental soldiers and it seemed odd to boost a desert/jungle/water commando in the snow. I don't have alot of commandos planned.

However, I am definitely open to that, so I will see how it goes.

I will have a tutorial coming soon.

So a Commando who adds on well to Soldier armies. That might make him a tough fit in a lot of armies. Are there plans to have Commando only armies at all? Or are they just meant to be specialists who help out groups of Soldiers?

It was decided early on that there should only be two main categories for the joes. With that decision, it means that most of the Joes will be soldiers and the Commandos will be those with unique skills or qualities. I don't see many of those unique figures interacting often, so no, I doubt there will be a team of Commandos. For example, it would be unlikely to ever have Snow Job and Recondo (Jungle expert) working together. Instead they will be the "leader" of the soldiers for specific mission. Snow Job will of course be used on tundra maps and he will boost the soldiers (and maybe other commandos) while on that terrain. I only have plans for a small number of commandos and the rest of the Joes will be soldiers or a completely different class (such as leader, drill instructor, ect)

That’s cool. They’ll be nice when you know the map going in, but tougher in a tourney situation.
