Eyepatches. Yep. That's where it's at.

Another love of mine are eyepatches. Right from the pirate through to the hardened Vietnam Vet, I think they look way tough and, to some this may seem creepy, I always want to know what is underneath. Well, wonder no more! Recon Unit: Jungle will show you!

Here we have him all covered, with a very stylish eyepatch in classic black.

Then...TA! DA! Look! Scars!!! Lot's of scars!!!!! How frickin' tough is that?!

Makes you wonder what has happened to our poor little Recon Unit. Two words: The Jungle.

It's at times like this that I like to quote Grandmaster Flash It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under

RU1028 Reporting

RU1028 went out into the world a little while ago, and he's certainly making quite an impression. Whilst awaiting my orders, he's been using...shall we say... a bit of initiative...I recently received this communication from him:

And this is why we will take over the WORLD.

Terrain Training Tuesday: The Evil Robe

This week we look at The Robe. This is a good choice for the World Domination specialist as it has close associations with the Grim Reaper and most people are quite terrified by Death, it makes for a good first impression.

However, this look has been owned by Emperor Palpatine ever since he appeared in the Star Wars series (Episodes IV-V1 of course, don't get me started on the others...). Coupled with his pale pussy face and red watery eyes, he’s totally got it going on.

This look works because you really can't see anything apart from the gnarled hands, weak chin and the evil glint in the eyes. If you have all these traits then this look is for you. It also helps if you have the "force" as I can't image having to fight a bit of open combat in this is going to be easy. I suspect it is best suited to a homebody, one who doesn't want to go out often but would rather bask in the glory of his or her surroundings. You're going to have to have a big base for this look to hold all your minions together. I think our best inspiration of this is Ming the Merciless. He totally brought the bling to The Robe.



Yep, that's how you do it people! Did you know that his capital city is called 'Mingo City'? Hilarious. The use of the smoke machine is effective though and should be duly noted.

One thing I will say about the robe is that the capacity to hide your weaponry and evil gadgets is amazing. Who knows what level of dastardly objects could be concealed?! That's got to be the biggest bonus of the robe. It also can conceal your appearance and then make for a dramatic unveiling too once you feel the need to to lose the layers (preferably wearing something really tight). Actually I'm kinda beginning to like this idea....

Occupational Force out and about with Luca

I had these great images sent to me by Luca, another World Domination Specialist. He is currently waiting for me to get it together to make some real vehicles for the Army. All in good time. Aren't these images great though?!

Thanks Luca!

Terrain Training Tuesday: I have nothing to wear!

Rightio then. I think we have spent more than enough time on the minions and training up our troops. It's time for a little bit of 'me' time. Lately, I realise that I may not have been spending enough time looking after myself and my all important image. Being a professional World Domination Specialist I need a look that says 'Don't mess with me' while maintaining an air of 'mystery and charisma' that makes people do my willing with a minimum of fuss, after all one only wants to fire their Secret Death Ray when they have to because then it won't be a secret anymore will it?! So over the next couple of weeks we shall be looking at outfits for the World Domination Specialist (and given the amount of e mails I have been receiving there seem to be a few of us out there, I can be comfortable with this because I understand that I am the only truly superior overlord alive who will succeed, fools).

We have a couple of options available at the moment which we will look into detail over the next few training sessions. Making the cut and offering up the options are:

A classic look, hides the excess baggage one stores over Winter

Nothing says I'm evil like a well cut business suit, the receding hairline and liver spots help too

Hmmmm....I'm still out on the on the all-in-one jumpsuit, I guess it provides a slightly crazed look...

Military style, combined with a hint of depressed English trainspotter.

Ah, the old I have no body so how will you ever destroy me trick. I quite like this one....

Dominatrix...need I say more?

I am also partial to the old make me half a robot routine...

And finally the classic, Mad Scientist look, the hair is a particular feature....

SO many options. Stay tuned, we're about to enter the realm of the agonising decision making of what to wear...

Terrain Training Tuesday: A brief interlude....

I always do this post, I love training day but today I am in a complete and utter rage. No real reason for it, there has been no more rampant stupidity in the world than normal, I just am. So instead of training you, I am going to do my best Incredible Hulk impersonation, play Atari Teenage Riot up loud and go and destroy something. Maybe I'll have a Fight Club moment and destroy something beautiful... Actually, that sounds like fun....

Training will resume next week....
