GJNL,
I am so glad that you liked your Secret Santa gift. It was a whole lot of work and time, but I had soo much fun putting it together. As a fellow Battle Beast army builder with my snake army, I always admired your PPA penguin army. I was very excited to get you and create a nice little custom and story between your penguin army and my snake army.
Here's the general story I had while making up the custom: While other armies have been training and building up their forces, the snakes have been lerking in the shadows, quietly building up their force while never revealing their true numbers or motives. However, recently a number of distant outposts have been found overrun and destroyed without any evidence of the attackers. Quickly, in a coordinated effort, multiple snake forces attcked several different penguin targets at the same time, hoping to overwhelm their northwestern line of communications and keeping all other armies blind to their movements. One penguin commander at the Blueflame Bastion received messengers from the wiped out patrols and outposts, giving him pictures of their assailents as proof of the attackers. But as soon as the messangers had arrived, the bastion had become surrounded by the largest snake army ever seen assembled in the open. The penguin commander choose one of his penguins, Cpl Ice Flare, a missle and demolitions expert, to carry the evidence and a warning message to Captain P Penguin at the training grounds of the main penguin force so that they would have time to bolster their defences. The only way that Ice Flare would be able to make it through the line of snakes would be to create a diversion, blowing the main weapons cache at the bastion, destroying the large fortress and hopefully a good chunk of the snake army with it. The damage to the snake army is minimal, but Ice Flare is succesful in escaping the clutches of the serpent force. However, now his perlilous journey to the PPA headquarters is just beginning.
Included in the care package that I sent him was:
- Ice Flare (custom heavy weapons/rocket penguin battle beast with rocket spear weapon)
- Dossier card detailing the penguin soldier Ice Flare
- Top Secret note addressed to GJNL's main character, Captain P Penguin, printed on aged parchment cloth
- Printed evidence photos of the various snake army attacks on distant penguin outposts and patrols
- Top Secret manilla envelope
- Top Secret evidence package scaled to Ice Flare
And here are the original images I used for the letter and the print outs before I shipped the whole package out.
