Painting Marvel Crisis Protocol With 144Artist

Quick to assemble and quick to paint, Baron Zemo is finished and ready to join the Cabal or Hydra. He seems quite effective, able to retaliate when attacked and causes bleed.  I really want to try a villain team soon and he will have to be on it.

Another huge base but this has only one figure on it with barely enough room. This guy is as big and dynamic as Immortal Hulk. One of my favorite Hulk villains and so much fun in the MCU.  The kit is an easy assembly and a ball to paint up.  Being reptilian made it easy to go for wet blends and the like.  Now to see what he will do on the table.

I remember these guys as C List villains that would distract the hero from the real bad guy or just demonstrate said hero’s powers to any one who might be a new reader.  I always liked them because they always stuck together and were so goofy. Individuals from the squad wouldn’t show up somewhere else.  I think AMG made the right choice grouping these guys on a single base, like the Howling Commandoes, for that very reason.

Was way easier to paint them separately before attaching them to the base.

Sometimes hero, sometimes villain, always arrogant there is no one else like Namor.  Royalty of Atlantean origins he has long waged a war against the population of the surface world as they have selfishly ravaged his kingdom.  He has fought against and alongside both the Avengers and the Fantastic Four.  I do hope this is a sign that they are not far away from joining MCP.  Until then, we have the man with the winged ankles and arched eyebrows to content us.

Great sculpt, again, not to fiddly to assemble and a real joy to paint.

What a great pose!  AMG has learned a lot about sculpting minis since the early days.  Storm is a great figure but with only one lightening bolt holding her up she can be wobbly.  Not so much on either of the new Thor models. They are both held aloft but bolts of lightening but having more than one gives them more stability.  All that aside, fairly easy model to build and great fun to paint.  Being a six threat means he’s even more formidable than the first incarnation.

So much more to do for work right now so my painting time is greatly reduced.  In fact, I got none in at all last night.  I hope tonight has more creativity time but with grades due I am doubtful.  I did accomplish a lot over the rainy weekend so it kind of makes up for this lag.

While I haven’t seen the movie where Jane wields Mjolnir I did read the comics and loved that storyline, heartbreaking as it was.  I like that Marvel revisits side and background characters regularly.  Adds a lot of depth and makes for new versions of old gems.  Jane taking on the mantel of Thor while her mortal form was dying of cancer was a perfect example of that.  Not sure what she will do in-game but I don’t care because I will run her regardless.  Just a bit bummed she didn’t end up a leader.

Back to my collection of Asgardians I finished Loki, Prince of Lies.  Another great sculpt with fun spell effects to paint and play with.  Those huge horns are pure Jack Kirby so bring me joy.
