X-COM 2 Codex

 

The Codex is an alien encountered in X-COM 2. 

It acts as a highly mobile unit, primarily living within the aliens' and ADVENT's computer systems.

In This is the version that inspired me, despite its rifle or the ability to tele-transport, I am always scared when playing XCOM2 by its ability to cast a psionic rift that covers a large area of effect, which will disable the use of normal primary weapons inside it, resulting in the weapons being emptied of ammunition. 

The psionic rift is announced by its purple smoke/gas effect coming from its hands and being shut to the the enemy location, possibly where is the biggest concentration of Team soldiers.


The custom is made starting from a resin copy of Songbird from the Eaglemoss Marvel Super Heroes Figurine Collection, in a 1/20 scale.
As said many times, all my works are made on a 90mm scale, that is suitable with a range of scale between 1/20 (largest) and 1/24 (smallest).

1/20 is typical of Eaglemoss figures, MA.K.Hasegawa figure or many other brands.

1/24 is the most common scale for medium size figures, the largest part of Companies are proposing their 1/24 figures, as Tamiya, El Vejo Dragon, Hasegawa, Masterbox etc...

Suitable is also one of the classic size from Preiser for the trains diorama figures, they call "scale G" that is a 1:22,5 scale.
Despite the figures from Preiser are really focused on standard civilian figures I love the quality of their models and the price is very very convenient. I used this figures from Praiser for base bodies and customized with the Green Milliput, you can find many examples in the Skif Marvel Customs galleries by looking for Marrina, Namorita, Molecule Man etc etc..

Let's come now to the Avatar custom pictures:


Of course you will see the complete 4D view of my Code into the XCOM Custom Figures Gallery.
Hope you like it, and in a while I'm publishing also my version of "Rookie Team soldier with the Medikit". Stay tuned.
