Here's my full snake army. They're ready to fight the Pugnacious Penguin Army/Alliance. Right now, if you include the two King Cobras and the customs, the army is at 100 snakes even. If you only include original, US Triple Threat Snakes, they are at 70. Let me know what you guys think.


Everybody:


Just the Triple Threat Snakes:





Custom cast snakes from Articulation Nut in a variety of colors, including clear:




Greek Battle Beast Snake:


GITD Godbeast cast of Canadian Bootleg:


Fourth Heir custom painted Snake:


Mexican Snakes:

Can you put some more photos of your other custom snakes so we can see them all. Shame you didnt get that 2 headed custom snake on ebay a month or 2 ago. He would have looked cool in there.Jay

[koppenschevelle]

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll get some more individual pictures of some of the custom snakes. I just didn't want to overload one post with a ton of pictures. It's definitely taken me quite some time collecting these together. I have been buying up snakes for almost a decade now.

Sad I missed out on a cool Snake custom online. But now, I'll just have to end up making one.

I do have an entire long, story about the snake army, who their leaders are, etc... One day, when I can save up the money for it, I need to get a Stone Cobra. He's already in my story line.

Impressive!! amazing army!! how long to collect all them?

Almost 10 years now. But I'm not done. Still several individual snakes that I need. I would like to eventually get the Stone Cobra. I want to get one of each known color of Greek Snake. There's a few customs that I would like to make to represent different breeds of snakes. I want to get an original canadian war monster snake. And of course, I'll continue to get more Triple Threat Snakes.

[BigSerow]

Totally rad, easily one of the best figures.
Can we see them all heaped into a giant pile too
I wanna see how much room that takes up.

Great Collections of Snakes~!

[Luckyduck]

Wow that's amazing. I love the clear ones.

[koppenschevelle]

The snake army has expanded, but I have not had time to post any pictures. I thought I would post a few updated pictures. Although please note that where I am living right now pretty much feels like a cave with no light, so the pictures aren't as good as they could be. I also have mixed in the specific gator and lizard characters that act as commanding officers for the snake army, as well as some allied squads of bats and primates.

 

Right now, here is the roster for the snake army:

 

63x Original Triple Threat Snakes with original weapons

36x Original Triple Threat Snakes with new weapons

15x Original Triple Threat Snakes without weapons

1x Original Triple Threat Snake MOC

11x Mexican Snake Bootlegs

7x Greek Snakes (Light Blue, Pink, Green x2, Black, Silver and Metallic Blue)

16x Custom Cast Snakes (in various colors, cast by Articulationnut)

2x Custom Cast Christmas Snakes (Red and Green, cast by Ericnilla)

2x Bionic Arm Snake Technicians (I had to do something with the armless snake bodies I had)

1x Custom Painted Snake

1x Custom Painted Snake as Diamondback Rattlesnake (painted by Fourth Heir)

1x Custom Boa Snake

3x Custom Cast Canada Warmonsters Snakes (GITD green, red and yellow, cast by thegodbeast)

1x King Cobra

1x Custom Bionic Arm Cobra (Got chewed up by my dog years ago, made into cyborg Cobra)

1x Custom Cast Stone Cobra (Cast by ericnilla)

1x Custom Cast Bubblegum Cobra (Cast by ericnilla)

 

Total Triple Threat Snakes (including casts): 155

Other Snakes:                                                   8

Total Size of the Triple Threat Snake Army: 163 Snakes!

[Beastformers]

Sssssss.....ssssss..ssssss...Sssss.... So Cool

 

It´s amazing to see the Snakes have outgrown the huge Shark Army, when will you open your own Snake pit?

[bachamn]

My Mexican Triple Threat Snakes:

yikes, looks like a number of those Mexican snakes had a Tracheostomy!

awesome collection and pics, btw

[Edmasta]

Amazing pictures Eric 

[Venom]

Really amazing, I plan on starting a wolfgang walrus army soon......

[koppenschevelle]

Edmasta, thank you! Its been a long time that I have been collecting the army, so I have a lot of fun posing them for pictures and seeing what you guys think. Although admittedly the army has gotten so large that it is a bit ungainly now to set up the entire army for pictures.

Venom, thank you! I'd love to see a Wolfgang Walrus army. Thats one that I havent seen any one consider before.

I have always loved the idea of armies of Battle Beasts. There are certain beasts that work more as a character in my mind and in my story but there are so many other beasts that work so well as a troop type. Like I love King Cobra as an individual character, but then the Triple Threat Snakes are his army. And I love to see other people doing the same, whether its penguins, elephants, gators, tortoises, etc...

While I am dedicated to my snake army, I have always thought that the the Killer Carp battle beast would make a great troop builder. I actually started to build an army of them, but I stopped at around 15. So now, I have a nice, healthy elite commando squad of Carps.

[steverotters]

All I can think of is Ram Man:

Sure! Although a lot of my customs on display are still works in progress. I only have small gaps of time to work on my own customs before I begin working on more commissions. So not all of them are painted, many arent even finished with the kitbash/sculpting.
