Emma Frost, The White Queen of the Hellfire Club. Marvel Crisis Protocol.

Was happy with the blue wash over white for the skin in her diamond form, just felt if I tried to clean it up or highlight it would just end up a mess.

Snap! I have also poster these two today yours look super snazzy, bud. Love the basing, as always, on point.

More good work there Waaagh_Gonads.

Cheers,

Time to get some terrain out of the way....
Hydra Turrets.

The concrete is standard for me: dawnstone, nuln oil and agrax washes, then drybrush dawnstone and administratum grey.

The metal was iron warriors, drybrush leadbelcher, nuln oil wash, stiple leadbelcher and then stipple iron breaker.
Then rush with washes of mournfang brown and skrag brown.

Quicker than it sounds with the washes taking far and away the longest to dry.

Also didn't glue down the turret tops so I can replace the rockets with the ray gun option when I get them painted.

Nice job. I've resisted the turrets this far, but did spend yesterday building the hydra tank. What do you think of the new terrain generally?

As always with MCP, expensive but good.
It definitely immerses you in the game, and is very, very different to other games I play.

The Amazing Spiderman [MCP]

Finally happy with an explosion, undercoating with dark orange then light orange then very thinned yellow to the recesses before working back up with abbadon black through to
administratum grey stippling for the smokiness.

Cracking job on the explosion and nice bit of osl around it.

Honey Badger [MCP]

This model is TINY. Likely because it is a preteen girl.
Feels smaller than true 25mm scale.
And I just realised that I need to add red to the recesses of her belt buckle.

The claws are notorious for snapping off. Mine became loose when painting, so a drop of superglue at the base seems to have stabilised them.

She looks great, and the colours really... pop yeah, I had to run a drip of superglue down mine too.

This will likely be the last post for a week or so as will be away for a 100km ultramarathon race and will be missing a chunk of next week in travel and racing.

Doctor Strange....

I love all the little bits for basing that come with the mcp models. Don’t have too many myself, don’t need another reason to buy minis. I did buy a couple though, sometimes I just can’t help myself.

The good Doctor and Mini-Me Wolverine both look great.
Good luck in the race!

Fantastic take on Laura and as always basing game is top.

Tried out a speed paint scheme for upcoming 10th edition, not having played 40K for 20 years.

Very happy with the result of time vs outcome.

These 3 models took an hour and a half from spray undercoat to applying varnish.
I used a small fan to speed drying as it is pretty cool here currently, in summer I wouldn't bother.
I wanted something reproducible, natural and would not involve sub assemblies and any detailed work. Also could be used on tine bugs all the way up to the big ones.

Hand Ninjas [MCP]

Ooh I like the white smoke that's a great contrast. Nice job.

Those ninjas look cooool, good job!

Squirrel Girl [MCP]

The logs are made from a stick from my garden.

Looks great and neat idea with the twig!

Decided I really need to clear out my Warhammer Underworlds backlog so first up the squigs from Mollog's Mob

Made a nice change to just punch out several models in a couple of hours.

Those three are super cute. I like the mushroom best. The spore/smoke coming out of it looks really good.

Wolverine [MCP]

Went with a modified version of the old tan and brown outfit, which is what I grew up with X-men comics.

Lovely shading on that yellow.

Psylocke [MCP]

Love the big bright colours. Really pops.

Captain America, Steve Rogers. [MCP]

I really wanted to push the brightness on the suit, compared to his future self, just like in the MCU movies.

That shield. OMFG. Beautiful.

Great shine on that shield!
