Running a silly little scenario from the old days called Butcher Baiting. Pretty simple rules, you put the Butcher in a 12x12 area, and add 4 JWCs, replace the JWCs as he kills them. Game ends when Butcher is killed, tally up the death count and switch sides. Highest death count wins. Had a blast though had to add the rule the JRs have to move 6" when they activate, to keep it from just stagnating. Was going to run the scenario for Swords and Superheroes in Kingwood, when I realized I don't have a Butcher. So I got one real quick and in a bit of inspired madness, I give you Destro Butcher in a rough form. Not sealed, brushed or really anything, just proud of he was coming along.

"Excellent Kommander.", said like a south african.
You don't kill models in eStryker's army, you simply open up charge lanes.

Destro is definately Scottish! The mask was forced on one of his forfathers as punishment for a crime he comitted. But instead of accepting it as punishment the mask mecame a symbol of power for the Destro-clan.

Originally on the back of his File Card it stated that Destro's birthplace was unknown. Hollywood added a back story that failed in my opinion.
He will always be remembered like this....
Oh...nice way to paint the Butcher :-)

Actually, the background of destro was pretty much completely fleshed-out in the original comic-series by Larry hama. GI Joe the movie merely followed the original Destro origin-story.

Good looking Butcher! I love the idea!!
This. Larry Hama wrote the original Marvel comics series and the file cards. While most of the original information about Cobra was always "Classified," info always got revealed. Take Cobra Commander being a used car salesman who's family was killed in the same car crash that killed Snake Eyes' sister, and his frustrations with the U.S. Government causing him to take matters into his own hands. His file card also says "Classified." That abomination of a movie took TOO many liberties with origins and stories, but they did get Destro being Scottish right. That and Snake Eyes doesn't talk.

Once I use it for the scenario I'm going to sell it or use it for a prize. I'm still a Cygnar man to the bone, except when I sell my services for coin. Not sure what would be an appropriate base for him though.

......not primer. Just paint the center metal/wash it then paint the lip black so it at least looks finished. Painted models just don't look finished till the base is done. Kinda like cleaning the kitchen. You are not done till the dish washer is running and the cabinets are washed off.

In later episodes of the cartoon, it is revealed that Destro has Druidic ancestors. That doesn't mean that his family could not have migrated to South Africa for a myriad of reasons.
Also, definitely a South African sounding accent!! There was a girl I went to high school with, who's family moved to the US from South Africa because of her father's work. He sounded just like Destro...
