About the Project

I have some very good friends who chipped in to pick up the newest core box for Marvel Crisis Protocol for my birthday present. One of the benefits of celebrating in my Friendly Local Game Store apparently. While I have wanted to paint some of these minis since I first saw them, I haven't been sure about diving into the entire game. Well, two of our group are completely addicted so I will have folks to play the game with, unlike my Burrows and Badgers undertakings. I must admit to being a little overwhelmed by the contents of the Core Set. There are all the rules, templates, counters, dice, terrain, and minis needed to play. Speaking of the minis, there are 13 in the new set and they are wonderful little sculpts, great detail and movement. I think this is going to be fun. Now I just need to avoid diving into the deep end and trying to acquire everything. Anyone who has been following this blog will know I have failed to restrain myself. Despite still not having played the game I have just about every character made and two thirds of them are painted. At least I'm getting some good work done.

Yaka Arrow flying past his  head plus a little of Michael Rooker’s swagger makes this a fun figure to paint though the arrow is awfully delicate.  Waaaaaaaay back in the day, the very first Guardians of the Galaxy were a very different group though some would still look familiar.  I was never a big fan as the writing just didn’t capture my imagination like Batman, X-Men, and Spidey but some of the characters were interesting.  Yondu was one of them even visually but rather two dimensional beyond that.  I love what Jame’s Gunn has done with the character and the Marvel Cosmic segment of the MCU.  I really like the blend of the two that AMG has achieved and even with being cautious around the arrow. it was fun to paint.

I do remember the early Nova stories and have to say I preferred what he evolved into.  Never among my top choices I always loved his design.  His bullet helmet even grew on me.  Another great AMG sculpt with him flying up atop his blast.

Elektra and the Hand Bring Backup to the Demon Possessed Dare Devil

The whole Elektra Saga by Frank Miller is an amazing novel and among the best Dare Devil storylines. I’ve always seen it as a moment when Frank Miller quit trying to draw how he was told and create art he wanted to.  So it is no surprise that I am excited to add Elektra to my collection.

 

Very fluid and dynamic pose if a bit delicate where she connects with the base. She’s nowhere near as delicate as these ninjas.  They are posed on wisps of smoke.  I had to let the glue set with the figures laying down with things propped underneath.  Worth it as they look really cool now, though I probably should have painted them separately.

Gotta admit that I painted this guy well over a year ago and he has been in my “To Be Photographed” backlog ever since.  Now That I have figured out a good place to shoot minis I am slowly catching up.

 

I love the costume design and the storyline it all comes from is wonderfully dark. The pose is rather static, especially for DD, but it works for the lurking crime lord he is in the story.  I really like that he and Elektra can summon Hand Ninjas and look forward to seeing how that works in game.  More on her next post.

Werewolf By Night is another character I only had passing comic book experience but who doesn’t love a tragic hero werewolf?  Great pose, clean details, and easy assembly so a winner all around.  He is the last of the four monster set so my collection of them is now complete.
