I've begun the filecard write up for my new addition to the Joe team, the Black Foxes. They're a collection of Delta, Rangers, SEALs, Recon, the CIA SAS (special activities staff) and Air Force Special Tactics operators. They're a take no prisoners black ops sweeper team. They often refer to their missions as Blank ops due to the fact that no records of their missions are kept.

So far I've got files on Brimstone the Lt. Col that heads the unit and Snake, their all around scary than the devil type that even the other operators hold in awe.

I'm going to customize the units, primarily made up of blue box elite figures, the new combat command line from Blue Box, and some old Joe favorites like Stalker, Duke, Gung Ho, Lady Jaye and Beachead.

The unit is looked down a bit on by some of the Joe staff for their loose discipline (there are no salutes) and their reputation as cold blooded killers.It could also be the fact that the have a team of former Nightstalker pilots at their disposal along with two Blackhawks and a fleet of little birds.

Their primary enemies are Flint and General Hawk (I love the oppurtunity to have animosity amongst the Joe team) Which puts them at odds with General Flagg who fought Hawk tooth and nail in the Pentagon to form the unit. Flint and Hawk see the Black Foxes as a step back from what the Joes represent. Their mission is the targetting on Cobra brass and facilities and wiping them out with extreme prejudice.

Flagg has complete control over the units missions answering to no one, not even Hawk.

Edit: I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good brand of paint so I can start my work on the unit? Also I'm wondering if anyone has experience in custom painting the PTE Blackhawk Helicopters and Little Birds.
