Painting Marvel Crisis Protocol With 144Artist

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.

Pyro Lights Up the Blog
Sticking to the Brotherhood, Pyro is painted and ready to light the world on fire. This also means that set CP82 is finished and I can move onto Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. I love the muscular definition on this sculpt. It’s obvious he didn’t skip Leg Day. Packaged with the Blob gives him a bit of a Jack Spratt feel to be honest. I will be attending a huge game convention in a couple weeks and hope to play Crisis Protocol. Looks like I will have a solid number of Brotherhood and Avengers to choose a team from.
The Brotherhood Grows More Immovable with the Addition of Blob
I have been a huge fan of the Brotherhood (of Evil Mutants) since reading the original Uncanny X-Men comics in the 1980’s so I was always going to want to paint the Blob. John Byrne always made him look so threatening and lethal that one forgot what a big guy Blob is. I really think Atomic Mass Games have done the same with this sculpt.
Hopping onto the Table With Toad
Sabretooth gains an ally and a Brotherhood affiliation member with Toad complete. I gain some list building flexibility with a Threat Level 2 character. Well, in theory as I still haven’t really played the game much. Magneto is catching up with his constructs as they were painted quite a while ago and he is almost there.
The Brotherhood Gets a Leader
As is becoming more common, the Project system erased my entry and later duplicated it so I am trying to replace the second entry with a new one. Hope OTT gets this figured out soon.
Magneto is finished and ready to join his metal constructs on the battlefield. I’ve got Blob and Pyro primed and ready to paint next so the Brotherhood is forming up nicely. Guess I better get some allies for Wolverine and the X-Men next.
Steve Rogers- Captain America is Ready for Action
A very busy weekend with little painting time but I did finish a few minis. Steve Rogers- Captain America, who came with the original Human Torch in set CP77, is painted and ready to join the Invaders though there isn’t an Affiliation for them yet. With several characters (including the Howling Commandoes) from Marvel’s World War 2 stories it can’t be that far off. I am feeling a little more confident in my NMM skills as this shield looks better than the last one I painted.
M.O.D.O.K is the Murderous Floating Humpty Dumpty
I’ve now completed my model of M.O.D.O.K.- Scientist Supreme. While I have always found this character to be a bit humorous looking, he is deadly and, if I understand the card, especially so in this game. I have the earlier sculpt as well though I don’t think I will get to him right away. Somehow I ended up mixing Non-Metallic Metal with True Metallic Metal but the chaotic nature of this guy seems to make that acceptable.
Sabretooth Lashes Out
Wolverine’s nemesis is painted and looking for Logan. Seems like my collection has taken a turn toward the X-Men and Brotherhood. I’m good with that. Going too need some leaders for both…
Deadpool Rockets to the Table
Deadpool is painted and photographed. He joins Bob-Agent of Hydra and the Taco Truck to complete set CP45. I still have a tray of tacos to paint and glue to the counter but I am calling it complete regardless. I may need to eventually pick up another kit to build the alternative versions but that is a discussion for the distant future.
