From StephenS: Luke Cage and Iron Fist [New Acquisitions] (34 Points)

 G'day everyone,

It is great to be back for my ninth challenge, and even better to be slapping paint on miniatures after a hiatus of almost 9 months brought on by selling a house, moving, moving again and finally settling into the new home last week.

My first entry is a new acquisition on two fronts. I present the last miniatures purchased by me, and they have been painted with some of the new paints received from the last Two Thin Coats Kickstarter, which I've finally been able to crack open.

The figures are Luke Cage (aka Power Man) and Iron Fist from the world of Marvel comics (and TV shows).  They are for the game Marvel Crisis: Protocol from Atomic Mass Games, and are 40 mm plastic figures. 

They are not characters that inspire me much, though they were lovely to paint. But my son loves Iron Fist, so the purchase was made without too much arm-twisting.

2 x 40 mm figures = 14 points

1 x Library location = 20 points

It is now Christmas Eve in the land of Oz, and I am off to consume lots of cracking Christmas food, then sink to the bottom of a pool if the weather holds. I hope everyone here has a brilliant Christmas and I look forward to seeing everyone else's new acquisitions over the next few weeks.

Cheers,

Steve

Welcome back to the Challenge, Steve! Has it been nine of these already? My word. And we just keep getting younger and better looking! Who knew?! ;)

Lovely brushwork here. I really like the yellow on Luke's t-shirt, and the tattoo on Iron Fist is awesome (though his pose seems needlessly over the top and a bit tortured). Your little guy must be pretty stoked by this pair. 

Great supes, indeed. Bravo! Happy Christmas and I hope you get that dip in the pool.
