I am planing on doing this as a single part sculpt as I think you would get the most out of the pose as a single part. As this guy does not have many options in the form of equipment (he has dirty tricks/spells) it would be a good rout to go.
The American's have a real evil feel in the Occult book. I would not be surprised to see a lot of players pick up an American force just to use the Evil stuff they can get.

We tried to go the route that all the nations using the occult are really tapping into things it was better to leave alone. Hence you will see a very dark background for not just the SS but the Allied occult divisions as well.
I also have to say that the Conjure Man is probably my absolute favorite design in the occult book. He just screams character!

love the hoodoo, the only i'd like to see would be to put him in fatigues or give him some insignia, at least just so his own men know he's with them. the way i see it, even in a top-secret occult organization, is that first he's an american, second he's a soldier, and third he's a badass magic user.

The mystics in the OORD are alot less standardized than the ones in the SS and MoAA, hence they don't really have fatigues and insignia. After all, are you going to tell somebody that can cripple you with a Voodoo doll that he's out of unifrom?

Oh yeah, definately loving the Hoodoo Conjurer. I'm sure I'll love the voodoo that he do so well just as much.
And now I'm definately picking up an American Occultist force as well.

I do like the idea of the OORD being almost extra-military – especially given the US' wide variety of ethnic and religious groups – it just feels a lot more like a thrown-together unit using the resources they have available, rather than a structured, disciplined organization.
Roll on the Homunculus!

Liking the look of the OORD Hoodoo. Looking forward to fighting my mates Germans with some of my own nasty dark magic.

The uh, uh, uh, Chupathingy? Chupacabra would be sweet. Like a vampire, but good at hunting monsters or something. He is in a tie for the best with another American unit/creature....... That I am sure you will see at some point. Evil ain't I..........

haha i understand what you mean skorzeny and pixelgook, i'm just saying that there's doesn't appear to be much visual continuity between him and the rest of the american forces, unlike the british druid or the german krieghexen. it is good to know there will be a connection to another yet to be revealed unit.
and mkcontra and cybogoblin, hell yes on the cryptids. crank them out. black beasts, gremlins, bigfoots(feet?)/skunkapes, yeti, nessie even? though in some ways they might just end up overshadowing existing units like chumans or k9 squads.

I fully expect gremlins of one sort or another to show up eventually.

black beasts, gremlins, bigfoots(feet?)/skunkapes, yeti, nessie even? I wouldn't go too overboard on cryptids, personally. You have to think from the perspective of the [insert country here] War Department. Bigfoot would be fun, but how would you get one in the first place, let alone make them combat-ready and ship them to the front? Sure, fluff could be written to cover it all, but I think things shouldn't be be taken too far - for now. Chupachabras are a fairly good analogue to Chumans and Bigfoot would be similar to a Sturmaffen, perhaps something a little different might be better.
