Themed Imperial Army - Cobra request suggestions

By Salcor, in Painting

So I am putting together my forces and I have decided to go with a Imperial Army themed after Cobra. But I was wanted some suggestions for which troopers should be painted which way. Here are my thoughts so far.

Commanders

Emperor - not sure yet, maybe Serpentor

Vader - either destro, Serpentor, Storm shadow???

Krennic - Cobra Commander (With the hood probably)

General Veers - Major Biudd

Troopers

Mudd Troopers (skull forge) - Basic Cobra troopers

Snow Troopers - Snow Serpents (too easy, other suggestions?)

Storm Troopers - vipers, especially if I get 32mm viper helmets (any other suggestions?)

Special Forces

Scout Troopers - Not sure on this one, suggestions

Death Troopers - Alley Vipers, Shock Trooper (although leaning toward Crimson Guard)

Royal Guard - Crimson Guard (too easy though, suggestions)

Support

Speeder Bikes - Cobra Flight pods

AT-ST - Hiss Tank (other suggestions appreciated)

Operative

Boba Fett - as him self....maybe Firefly though.

Thanks for the help. It should be entertaining.

Death Troopers = Crimson Guards for sure

If you decide to do a "First Order Trooper, the First Order Storm Trooper with shields, could be Alley Vipers

Boba Fett could easily be themed around the Astro Viper's for Cobra's Space Corp.

Storm Troopers, while not Vipers, could easily be Toxo-Vipers.

Strato Vipers could be Imperial Pilots...

Thanks for the response. I think death troopers will definitely be crimson guard with Krennic being cobra commander. I think vader will be Serpentor (that will be a difficult mod). I was thinking the emperor will be storm shadow and the imperial guard will be Arashikage ninja (paint them white like storm shadow). I was thinking boba fett will be destro.

I would like to get some variants hover cycle pilots (preferably mudtroopers).

For Scout Troopers you could do COBRA EELs- they are awesome!

AT-ST maybe try the Water Moccasin Speeder I did on Thingiverse... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3033205

IF you go with the Water Moc, then a squad of your EELs on Zartan's Chameleon as SPeeder Bikes would be insane!

Maybe Terrordrome with the Firebat playing as a Snowspeeder?

Emperor as Serpentor is great. Vader is cobra commander, Krennic is destro, veers is baroness and Boba is Stormshadow.

Or buy 28 veers figures, change the arms for weapons, add a little mask across the nose and mouth, paint them blue and voila! you've got cobra troopers .(original style like scarface-)

Any painted figures yet?
