Els mercenaris més mortifers del món.// The deadliest mercenaries in the world.

 

 

DEATHSTALKER, l'escorpí iraquià. 

 

Ningú coneix la seva identitat real. Només se sap que va néixer a Al-Hilla, capital de la provincia iraquiana de Babilonia en algún moment durant la Guerra del Golf. 

Va créixer amb un odi incontrolable contra els superherois americans infidels que ajudaven l'exèrcit nord-americà a la guerra i, en fer els 12 anys va ser contactat per l'antiga societat d'assassins que controlaven la mítica ciutat de Babilonia des de temps inmemorials.

L'entrenament al que va ser sotmès i el seu odi visceral, ara ampliat a qualsevol ens amb poders especials, l'han convertit en un dels mercenaris més mortifers del món, especialitzat en destruïr herois superpoderosos, tot i no tenir ell cap superpoder real.

Està equipat amb un arc amb fletxes explosives, un escut que llença amb mortal precissió, una armadura de kevlar d'ultima generació i un dispositiu anul.lador de poders, robat de un dels laboràtoris de Tesla Industries, Inc.

Ha adoptat el nom d'un dels escorpins més mortifers del seu país natal... el Deathstalker.

DEATHSTALKER, the Iraqi scorpion.

No one knows his real identity. He is only known to have been born in Al-Hilla, capital of the Iraqi province of Babylon at some point during the Gulf War.

He grew up with an uncontrollable hatred against the unfaithful American superheroes who helped the American army in the war and, at the age of 12, was contacted by the ancient society of assassins who controlled the mythical city of Babylon since ancient times.

The training he was subjected to and his visceral hatred, now extended to any entity with special powers, have made him one of the deadliest mercenaries in the world, specializing in destroying superpower heroes, despite not having any real superpowers.

It is equipped with an arch with explosive arrows, a shield that throws with deadly preciseness, a last-generation kevlar armor and a power-over device, stolen from one of the laboratories of Tesla Industries, Inc.

He has adopted the name of one of the deadliest scorpions in his home country... the Deathstalker.

ATRAX, l'aranya de Sidney

La companya de Deathstalker es fa dir Atrax, com una de les aranyes més verinoses de la seva Australia natal.

Filla d'una família de grans recursos, la jove Olivia va créixer amb tot el que podia desitjar. Però ja de petita va demostrar una gran habilitat gimnàstica, així com una crueltat i gust per la violència que espantava als seus pares. 

En fer els 16 anys, va conèixer Deathstalker, seguint-lo després de que aquest assasinés a un empresari a la discotèca on la Olivia estava. Reaci al principi, va acabar entrenant-la i convertint-la en una de les més mortiferes assasines del món.

S'ha especulat amb que puguin ser parella, però ningú s'ha atrevit a preguntar-ho per por a perdre les dents, els dits i els organs sexuals.

ATRAX, the Sydney spider

 

Deathstalker's companion is known as Atrax, as one of the most venomous spiders in her native Australia.

The daughter of a high-resource family, young Olivia grew up with everything she could wish for. As a child she showed great gymnastic skill, as well as a cruelty and taste for violence that frightened her parents.

At the age of 16, she met Deathstalker, following him after he murdered a businessman at the disco where Olivia was dancing. Reacious at first, he ended up training her and making her one of the deadliest killers in the world.

There has been speculation that they may be a romantic relation, but no one has dared to ask for fear of losing their teeth, fingers and sexual organs.

Brutality Skirmish Game: First Warband

 Okay, it's been a while (again...), but here i go again with another 😓 new game i've found:

Brutality Skirmish Game:

Brutality is a Skirmish Wargame with RPG-lite aspects.

• Use any 25mm-32mm models from any game
• Create your own stats
• Play with points, or not!
• Alternating activation
• Campaign System
• A setting that allows you to bring your favorite characters together
• A model’s facing matters and different assault tactics get different bonuses!
• No models to buy! What could be easier?

 Brutality Skirmish Game

And here it is, the first warband i've made:

 

 

‘The Belligerent Beasts’ (from left to right):

 

Arthur (Beast): Arthur is the last of the Catalan Goat breed, and came from a distant dystopic future. He’s not the smartest (he’s actually so dumb), but he puts a lot of will on everything, he's fast, and he's got a huge knife... Oh, and he can eat literally anything...

 

Pauline (Shredder): Pauline is the only female in the group, but she’s also the toughest one. She doesn’t remember where she came from, but she’s got a huge gun and that's all she needs to know. She loves to blow things up and walk on the beach at sunset.

 

Sir Michael ’Mickey’ Bentstone (Breacher): Sir Michael was a nobleman in his world. But one day, suddenly, he woke up in an unknown and frankly dangerous world.

Luckily, his faithful sword Wilhelmina (known more commonly as Minnie) had also come with him, as he had to face warriors with 'magic' weapons, monsters and even penguins (oh, how much he hates penguins...).

Now, after joining others like him, he has a purpose in life. Kill as many penguins as he can! Well, and go back to his world, if possible.

 

Gaspar Le’Geck (Specialist): Gaspar doesn't seem the bravest, but deep down in his heart (VERY DEEP), he has something that forces him to face his fears (which are many) and help his friends.

This, and the fact that he makes the best bug pancakes in the Brutal Realm, make him an important member of the team.

He's secretly in love with Pauline, but he's afraid that kissing her will hurt him with his beak. And he doesn't even want to imagine what would come next...

Forgotten Heroes 2020 - Vanguard

Bé, és aquella (oblidada) època de l'any de nou. Aquí estan els Herois Oblidats!

Well, is that (forgotten) time of the year again. Here they are the Forgotten Heroes!

Aquest any, la meva primera entrada és un semi-desconegut heroi provinent de la editorial Image Comics: VANGUARD!

This year, my first entry is a semi-unknown hero from Image Comics: VANGUARD!

Vanguard és un superheroi de ficció que van crear Gary Carlson i Erik Larsen per a l'antologia autoeditada de Carlson, Megaton. Vanguard és un alien blanc amb antenes petites al que se li ha donat l'ocupació de la vigilància de la terra, que és vista pels alienígenes com un lloc avorrit amb poques possibilitats de que passi alguna cosa. El seu únic company és un sarcàstic robot cicloptic i els seus androides canviaformes, encara que ràpidament va desenvolupar una relació amb una periodista anomenada Roxanne Wells.

Vanguard is a fictional alien superhero created by Gary Carlson and Erik Larsen for Carlson's self-published anthology Megaton. Vanguard is a white alien with small antennae who has been given the unenviable job of guarding Earth, which is viewed by the aliens as boring with little chance of anything happening. His sole companion is a sarcastic, hovering cycloptic robot and their morphing androids, though he quickly developed a relationship with a reporter Roxanne Wells.

En aquest cas, la conversió ha estat molt senzilla: He utilitzat el cos del Sinestro #060 de Heroclix DC75h Anniversary amb el cap d'un Kovoss Kryptics, de Dreadball.

In this case, the conversion has been very simple: I used the body of Sinestro #060 from Heroclix DC75h Anniversary with the head of a Kovoss Kryptics, from Dreadball.

I aquest és el resultat:

And this is the final result:

Douchebagger

Vale. Aquí us deixo el segon membre dels Mighty Mates. Us presento a:

Ok. Here I leave the second member of the Mighty Mates. Let me introduce you:

Danny Dávila era una persona tranquil.la.

Durant tota la seva infància havia hagut d'aguantar burles i el que ara coneixem com a bulling. Tot i això, era una bona persona i mai havia tingut la necessitat de venjança i ni tan sols això l'havia fet canviar la seva tranquil.litat habitual. Sang d'orxata, li deien...

Però a mida que creixia, anava acumulant decepcions: la gent li passava per sobre; les velles se li colaven a la cua del súper; homes peluts l'empentaven al bus; mares deixaven els seus enormes SUVs al mig mentre recollien els nens de l'escola; homes vells aparcaven el cotxe allà on els hi anava bé; d'altres joves escoltaven horrible 'música' a tot volum desde els seus mòbils pel carrer...

Finalment, un dia la sang d'en Danny va començar a bullir:

¡¡¡GILIPOLLEEEES!!! 

Ja no podia aguantar més. Alguna cosa s'havia trencat al seu cap (i al seu ADN, ja que l'incident va fer sortir els seus poders latents). Va vestir-se amb el xandall més lleig que tenia, es va enmascarar amb un vell passamontanyes, va agafar un parell de barres d'acer... i va començar a castigar a la gent incívica sota el nom de Douchebagger (qui patrulla els carrers posant els gilipolles a puesto). definició d' Urban Dictionary

Després de l'incident succeït al poble amb en Jack O'Murder, va unir-se a d'altres joves herois i així van néixer els Mighty Mates (veure també Braindead).

La seva rel.lació amb Braindead es prou bona: en Danny creu que ella és una psicótica, i ella creu que ell es gilipolles... Així que tot bé.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Danny Dávila was a calm person.

Throughout his childhood, he had to bear taunted and what we now know as bullling. Despite this, he was a good person and had never had the need for revenge and not even that had made him change his habitual quietness. Blood of Horchata, they call him...
But as he grew up, he was accumulating disappointments: people passed him over; old ladies are hit in the supermarket queue ; hairy men push him in the bus; mothers left their huge SUVs in the middle as they gathered school

children; old men parked the car there where they went well; other teenagers listened to horrible ' music ' in all volume from their 
mobiles on the street...

Finally, one day Danny became hotblooded:  

 
DOUCHEEEES!!! 

He couldn't take it anymore. Something had broken in his head (and on

his DNA, as the incident brought out his latent powers). 

He dressed the ugliest tracksuit he had, weared an ski mask, grabbed a pair of steel bars... and start to punish uncompromising people under the name of Douchebagger (People who prowl the streets keeping Douches in their place). 

From Urban Dictionary 

After the incident occurred in the village with Jack O ' Murder, he joined other young heroes and so were born the Mighty Mates (see also Braindead).
His relation with Braindead is good enough: Danny believes that she is a psychotic, and she believes he is a douche... So everything is fine.

Estelada - Forgotten Heroes 2019

Aquí us porto la segona entrada (i última) per al Forgotten Heroes d'aquest any. Degut a que Comic Life té avui un dia difícil, ho faré a les braves... Espero que us agradi.

Here I bring you the second entry (and the last one) for this year's Forgotten Heroes. Because of Comic Life  has a tough day today, I do it old school style... I hope you like it.

 

Elisenda Ferré era una noia normal; bé, més aviat una noia tímida i sense gaires amics...

Anava a un institut públic, on la majoria dels seus companys eren desagradables amb ella i d'altres nois només perque podien. Eren víctimes del que ara es coneix com a bulling.

Un dels principals problemes entre aquesta gent era la seva procendència. Així com Elisenda i molts dels seus companys eren de famílies catalanes, els seus acosadors eren fills d'inmigrants españols, arribats aquí durant la posguerra. I, tot i que ells no havien viscut res d'aixó, la educació que se'ls hi donava a casa era d'enfrontament i odi cap als altres.

Elisenda Ferré was a normal girl; Well, rather a shy girl and without many friends... She went to a public institute, where most of his colleagues were unpleasant with her and other guys just because they could. They were victims of what is now known as bullling. 

One of the main problems between these people was their procendence. As well as Elisenda and many of her colleagues were from Catalan families, their bullies were children of Spanish immigrants, arrived here during the Civil War. And, even though they had not experienced that war, the education they had at home was of confrontation and hate towards others.

Tot va canviar quan, en una excursió escolar, van anar a visitar el monestir de Montserrat, situat a la serralada del mateix nom, font de llegendes i misteris com desaparicions o visites de Himmler, segon de Hitler durant la 2ª Guerra Mundial...

Everything changed when, on a school trip, they visited the monastery of Montserrat, located in the mountain range of the same name, a source of legends and mysteries as disappearances or visits by Himmler, Hitler's second during the World War 2...

Durant la visita, ella va notar que algú la observaba... es tractava d'un dels monjos que passejaven pel monestir. Al principi va pensar que tot era cosa de la seva imaginació. Però aleshores va notar que, de fet, la estava seguint...

Molt espantada, va intentar explicar-li a algú però, com ja hem dit, els seus companys no eren gaire amables amb ella.

Com que anava més atenta al monjo que a la resta del seu grup, al cap d'una estona veié que havia perdut el grup i, pitjor encara, havia quedat atrapada en un llarg passadís amb el monjo, que la vigilava en posició amenaçant des de l'altra punta... En una desició impulsiva, degut al terror que sentia, va saltar des de la finestra més propera cap a l'exterior; per sort, era un primer pis i només va fer-se un cop al meluc i es va torçar un tormell.

Els seus problemes només van empitjorar, ja que de la porta més propera, va sortir el mateix monjo, encara perseguint-la. Ella va marxar, coixejant, muntanya amunt; la única escapatória possible.

Espantadíssima, ferida i sense res més que una mica d'aigua que portava a la motxilla, va anar endintsant-se més a la muntanya, fins que, esgotada i veient que s'estava fent fosc, va ficar-se en una cova a descansar... i es va quedar dormida.

During the visit, she noticed someone watching her... It was one of the monks who walked around the monastery. At first she thought that everything was about his imagination. But then she noticed that, in fact, he was following her... Very scared, she tried to tell someone but, as we have already said, his companions were not very kind to her.
As she was more attentive to the monk than the rest of her group, after a while she saw that she had lost the group and, even worse, had been trapped in a long corridor with the monk, who watched her in a threatening position from the other side... In a impulsive desicion, due to the terror he felt, she jumped from the closest window to the outside; Luckily, it was a first floor and she only hit her hip and sprained her ankle.
His problems only worsened, since by the closest door came out the same monk, still pursuing her. She left, limping, mountain up; The only possible escape.

Fearful, wound and without anything more than some water in her backpack, went deeper into the mountain, until, exhausted and seeing that it was getting dark, got into a cave to rest... And he fell asleep.

Una forta llum la va despertar i ella, pensant que el monjo l'havia trobat, va començar a plorar i a suplicar per la seva vida... però una cálida veu femenina la va calmar:

      "Elisenda, no tinguis por... perque has estat escollida. A partir d'ara serás la protectora de la teva terra, Catalunya, envers els perills que vindran. Sigues forta, que jo t'ajudaré."

I amb aquestes paraules, va desaparéixer. Al lloc d'on havia sortit la veu només hi havia un penjoll en forma d'estrella. En agafar-lo, una energia com mai havia sentit la va rodejar i va néixer...

ESTELADA!

A strong light awakened and she, thinking that the monk had found her, start to cry and begged for his life... But a warm feminine voice calmed her down:

 "Elisenda, do not be afraid... Because you have been chosen. From now on you will be the protector of your land, Catalonia, towards the dangers that will come. Be strong, I'll help.  "

And with these words, she disappeared. In the place where the voice had left there was only one necklace in a star-shaped way. When she took it, an energy as she had never felt surrounded her and so was born...

ESTELADA! 

 

The clix i used to create her is Aurora, from Armor Wars

And the suit is based on Catalonian Flag, named 'Estelada'
