From PhilH: Mutants Clash on Snowlord’s Peak! (50 Points)

“...how about a nice Super to two for old times’ sake” roared the great blue figure. 

Erm...I know these aren’t your forte oh Snowlord, but they’re Mutants actually. Totally *cough* different concept from the Silver Age of Marvel comics, drawing on the civil rights movement and which nowadays sit awkwardly alongside the more popular Marvel lines.

Alright that’s enough pedantry. Two individuals with superhuman abilities, coming up.

First, another from the delightfully named ‘Brotherhood of Evil Mutants’. Bit like the Mitchell and Webb sketch: are we the baddies?

It’s Cain Marco aka Juggernaut. He’s actually not a mutant, rather a human empowered by some nonsensical maguffin*, whose thing is nigh-unstoppable momentum and superhuman strength. And being about 10 feet tall and built like the proverbial small brick structure.
*its late, bed calls and I’m beyond covering convoluted Marvel lore

He’s a repainted Marvel Heroclix, standing at about 55mm as Knight Models never made a Juggernaut.

And in counterpoint, The rather more diminutive gentlemen who this whole Marvel line is named for: the one, the only Professor Charles Xavier.

Not completely finished, the chair needs a bit more work to tidy up

The wheelchair-bound Professor X is all about the mind: intellectual, genius, powerful psychic, telepath, and telekinetic. Oh, and to tick off a nicely themed duo, and he’s Juggernaut’s step-brother.

Juggernaut‘s helm  confers immunity to Professor X’s mind powers, so this is a very one-sided clash.

A 35mm and 50mm+, plus the location bonus is about 47 Points?


Thats it for my Challenge X, sailing past my target in the last 6 hours and atop Snowlord’s peak. Thanks to Curt, the ever-patient Sarah, all of the minions and cover minions and the wonderful bunch of participants we had this time around. The new theme was a great new twist on this annual tradition.

Stay well in these uncertain times, everyone (and follow the advice of your medical professionals)

Wait, wait, wait! No Supers?! What's all this Mutant malarkey? If these weren't already spectacular I'd demand you take them back to paint on some spandex tights or something.

Seriously, great work Phil. You wow us once again with your incredibly smooth layering - really beautiful stuff. 

I'm not convinced that Professor X would be out of this. With his telekinesis I'm sure there is a freight train or something hurtling down on Juggernaut's head.

Let's call the Prof. the equivalent of a cavalry figure and the Big Guy a 54mm. Easy peasy.

It's always a delight, Phil. I look forward to next time or, even better, seeing you soon.
