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.

Another Crossbones is Painted
Back to the miniatures from the first core set, specifically villains, I’ve painted the first Crossbones. Simple color schemes means quick(er) paint jobs. Apparently one can’t have too many three threats. I just like having one of all the minis and I prefer them painted. In my mind I like having lots of variety to choose from when I do get to actually play the game again.

Nick Fury and His Agents of Shield Drop In
Nick Fury Jr and his Agents of Shield have dropped in from the Helicarrier and are ready to take on Hydra. I really like that AMG went with the MCU- Samuel Jackson version of this character. I already have a Nick Fury Sr attached to the Howling Commandoes and variety is preferable. As with most of what I’ve painted for MCP, I have no idea how these folks will play in game but look forward to finding out.
Corvus Glaive Completes My Dark Order
Corvus Glaive is painted and rounds out my Black Order. All I need for them now is their boss, Thanos and he has been started. I’m rather pleased with how Corvus’s black enameled armor came out. Like the rest of the team, he’s is a heavy hitter who can take some damage. This really looks like an attrition team.
Did Some Painting at DunDraCon
I attended DunDraCon game convention in Santa Clara, California last month. Fellow OTT member, aronbc, and I like to start each day with coffee and brushes in the Paint and Take room. In addition to some figures he brought and a couple I posted in WAYPN, I took on the Paint a Meeple challenge. Because I’ve painted so many Marvel characters in the last year, Spider-Man seemed the perfect choice. Please keep in mind that none of the brushes are very good so I captured as much detail as I could.
Checking Out the State of the Painting Table
So it has been almost two weeks since I posted pictures of my works in progress. Life has gotten in the way as of late and I haven’t been able to get painting done every day. I have still been working through characters though. I’ve also started a new project, a bust of a Hafling Rogue that has sucked up a lot of my hobby time.
I focused on finishing off Black Dwarf and Zemo as well as some of the blue on Thanos.
Started work on Doctor Voodoo and Red Skull who should be done quickly.
No one finished but Corvus Glaive is almost finished.
Ultron replaced Red Skull and he should paint up just as quickly.
Corvus Glaive, Nick Fury Jr and Ultron are done, replaced with The Hood and the remaining SHIELD Agents.
Doctor Voodoo and Hood got most of the attention this time.
SHIELD Agents are finished. The demon form of the Hood, Warlock, and Sunspot have joined the table as well as the Halfling bust that has been so distracting.
Voodoo and the Hood are done and I've started on Sunspot and the Living Mummy. Will be returning to work on Thanos tonight.You're Really Super, Super Giant.
Okay, another Gem Bearer I only know the barest about. I don’t even know why a figure on a 30mm base is called Super Giant but I love the sculpt. It has energy and movement, was only a little fiddly to assemble, and painted very quickly. I like the way the purples blended on her energy effect.
Proxima Midnight Arrives Ready to Sow Chaos
Proxima Midnight is another of those characters I only had limited exposure to. I loved her in the MCU so have since looked into some of the stories she appeared in. In game, the wife of Corvus Glaive has some tough attacks, throws conditions around, and can even give her husband a free activation. While the Black Order is clearly an attrition team, it is their interactions I find very interesting.
