From RhysH - Supers and a Dinosaur (35 points)

This week Rhys has more Supers from AMG's Marvel Crisis Protocol and another dinosaur from the upcoming Dino game from our local developer.

First up is Mysterio (Quentin Beck). 


The next entry is Shocker.

Rhys painted this one exactly like the drawing on the unit card.

The MCP figures are dynamic, though often very fiddly to assemble.

The large bases make each model a mini-diorama.

Last of the supers is Vulture, another very dynamic sculpt.

Rhys went all-in on the metal wings.

This is a great view of the intricate wings on the model.

The last piece of MCP kit is an objective marker.

It's some bit of ruined - stuff.

Even the objectives are intricate and fiddly.

The final entry for this week is a small lizardy dinosaur.

These are very nice sculpts and a great example of the way the state of the art has advanced in recent years. These are resin casts but a local dude could afford to get them sculpted and cast.

The water base nicely captures this thing's natural habitat.

That's 3 x 54mm = 30 points

1 x 54mm objective = 5 points?

1 x 28mm four footed figure = 5 points

Total = 40 points

Hi Rhys - great to see more super hero production from your painting table. As you say, the MCP figures certainly look exciting and dynamic in their posing, but the experienced-wargamer-side of my mind always clinches a little bit when you see such figures with tenuous connections to bases. They might be super tough in their universe, but the models portraying them are not always super tough in the real world...but whatever, they look great. My favourite of the lot is Shocker, as he appears to be on point with his powers and task!

I like the objective marker too, but that would count as a terrain bit, and so would be left to Byron to sort out. Perhaps he might opine in a separate post or comment.

The dino is lovely, and nice work on the water base!

That's 35 points for you Rhys for the non-terrain figures - well done!
