Did GW phase him out? I want to field him but I can't buy him... Anyone have any idea how I can make him out of spare bits? I have a bolt gun arm from My CCS bits as well as bit that has a giant knife with a water bottle on it. From my Sentential bits I have a head with a Mohawk. I don't have a Catachan body but this is a Cadia themed army so I'll use an extra torso from my CSS bits as well. The fancy armor. Now for legs crouched or not crouched? Any other ideas for bits ect. would be appreciated.

Make him however you want to make him. Just make him stand out as an individual from the rest of your force. Marbo is modeled after a catchan, but the special characters can be used in any army. I personally would be far more interested to see people customize him for their own forces than just use the default mini. Would really like to see a decent tallarn Marbo creation.

If I were to make a Marbo, I'd use the torsos from the FW Hardened Veterans. Those things look great with anything!

My favourite Marbo custom model was a crate with eyeholes.

Where is his red bandanna? Sly Rambo, I mean Marbo is not complete without a proper red bandanna!

Epic Marbo.
I created mine using bits from the Catachan command box, and the silence/scoped bolt pistol and the big knifey machete thing from the SM scouts box.

A friend of mine told me it'd be douchey if I put myself in the army as Marbo, so I did...

Yours truly, the inspiration for the pose came from this pic:

Very nice. The back pack is epic. Your Valkyries looks epic as well.
