This is how I think Marbo looks like.
I wanted him to have that stealthy look and also look a bit mad.
He has set the timer on 30s and is junping away, I washed his sword with warlock purple to act as Lictor blood.
I used parts from the jungle fighter box and command squad and some gs
Sorry for the bad pictures, I think I did something wrong when I edited them

Please comment!

Really nice, I like it!! =)

**TheRavenWolf**

Very dynamic, It looks very good

**Brother SRM**

That's a pretty solid Marbo; I like him. A friend of mine made a Cadian Marbo using that same head. It really plays up the "silent and mysterious" aspect rather than the "action movie star" aspect. Personally I prefer the latter

**whill4**

Nice conversion.

**Natorum**

Very nice, the dynamic pose is especially well executed.

**2PaintPots**

Thank you all!

**KingCracker**

That makes me giggle, so OTT just like his character is. Nice job

**Kolath**

Haha, love it!

**purplefood**

Love it.

**More Dakka**

Great looking conversion!

Worst name in the 40K universe.

Back when 3rd ED released Codex Catachan he was called Sly Marbo

**Dark Apostle 666**

NINJA STYLEES! hi-yahh!

**Pomyboy**

Looks deadly enough!

**AclockworkCybork**

Very cool conversion of Marbo.I like the lictor blood on the sword. Keep up the good work!

**Chowderhead**

He looks like he wants to dance, not blow up stuff.

I like it, nonetheless. Great conversion and paintjob.

**White Ninja**

I have been running around the idea of making an empty base full of terrain stuff and calling it marbo. Yours is quite good though looks like he is about to gut someone.

**darknightwing**

I like it. For some reason I hear him shouting "YO JOE!"when I look at him.

**PapaPiggy**

It looks good. But i thought marbo was a stealth beast. He kinda is hanging out there for every one to shoot him... Either way, I love it. The first marbo that isn't in an orange box. Great job i love the base.

**Steeping-Scrotum**

He looks very cool!

He looks very cool!

Looks like he's doing a great job of the demolition, man! Enemies will dredd hearing his name as he leaps toward them from that rocky patch of ground, he is the specialist, the most expendable of assassins and he will ram both his F.I.S.T.s down your throat. Totally over the top and I love it

Spy Kids.

was thinking the exact same thing hahaha, his pose would look at home with some of the card art for the old Joe toys

**sluggaslugga**

Great to see finnish people making something amazing like that.
I love it!

First of all, thanks for the great comments!

I would say that he was hiding and then jumped out, placed the demolition charge and then jumped towards the enemy.

Good job. Snikrot has somebody to fight for sure now.
