got the Black Order pack zenithal primed for contrast painting, but I don't want to do the "all the blacks and purples" color scheme they suggest. I'm also not familiar enough with Thanoss minions to know of any alt costumes they've worn to use what's something that would look less dreary and not be too dumb?

I regret that I don't know much about them either. You could also try using something like white and a dark blue? I see they used white and black in the comic versions a good deal. My Spiderverse proxies arrived, earlier than expected! Peni Parker and SP//dr end up being a reasonable size for the 65mm base - I am going to need to transfer the rubble onto the larger base because the robot looks odd without it: With 50mm Doc Ock and 65mm Embiggened Ms. Marvel for comparison  I am probably going to leave Peni off to reflect that she is 'in mech' and also so that I can use her figure separately, which makes it a little shorter, but I think the width and mass still works. It's going to be smaller than real bruisers like Dormammu or the real Hulkbuster. I could maybe gain some height if I work with the base and give him more of a heap to stand on, but I don't know that's necessary.  I think I am going to need to give Peni something to be landing on, otherwise she's pretty teeny. That's not really bad but I'd like to give her a little more style, kind of like Miles leaping a newspaper box. I have to look and see what I have to use. Maybe even the trash barrel that comes in the core?

I wouldn't buy it if you weren't already planning to, but the Crashed Sentinel terrain box comes with a little sprue that's a mailbox and another newspaper box. You might be able to ask around and find one someone isn't using, if you've got a community around.

The stuff c27 and Trident is putting out for MCP is phenomenal. I have been totally sucked into playing A-force and there are amazing sculpts for most of the affiliation. The trick is finding the not sexy pinup versions. I am looking for some suggestions on tokens, damage and power tracking tools people might be using. Being able to see all that information at a glance really helps me but more importantly my opponent. Is there anything anyone is using that they would recommend?

There are some really cool card holders with dials for damage and power. Do NOT use them. They're really cool and look great from your view, but make it a lot harder for your opponent to see the values at a glance

I've only ever seen one good solution for tracking power/health that's not using the existing tokens and it's these bad boys: https://www.etsy.com/listing/570626114/8-g10-0-99-life-counters Big enough to read across the table, the cradle makes them stable so they don't roll around if the table is bumped. Every other dial and doodad has been a pain for the opponent

Played my first game of this last night and had a great time with it! We found the rules to be really easy to navigate after a round or so, and only had one situation that was unclear. I'm hoping someone here can confirm we did this correctly or explain what we did wrong if not. Captain America used his Shield Slam on Red Skull. It caused enough damage to daze Skull. Normally, that attack would allow the target to be thrown, but because Red Skull had been dazed during the apply damage step, he is not an eligible target to be thrown anymore, and so the additional effect of Cap's attack doesn't go off. Am I getting this right?

Note that there are similar abilities that trigger "before damage is dealt" in which case you would get to throw.

Building Valkyrie and boy are those some incomplete instructions. Just attach her head to her torso, no problem. Ah but her head is three weird pieces, sure.

Played Web Warriors against Convocation today, it started out pretty well but flipped in the final turns to a loss (although very narrow). The combination of missions causing damage/incinerate effect and not being able to Spider Sense Mystic damage wore my team down, while he was able to use some healing abilities and Ancient One's spender to wipe heroes out. Had fun though and learned a lot for a rematch! long-rear end nips Diane posted:I think the trash barrel would be great.

You might be able to ask around and find one someone isn't using, if you've got a community around. This was great advice, someone in the local group was able to help me out! So good thinking. Next step on this project: I am slightly unhappy that SP//dr isn't quite big enough to live up to the 65mm and the Hulkbuster proxy, strongly considering scaling up the print to make it natively 65mm and proportionally larger. I know very little about 3D printing so I have to talk to someone about if the detail would drop too badly, but given that its a robot I think it would be ok?

I painted 6½ minis this weekend thanks to contrast paints and a tritone zenithal prime, and they all look amazing. Going back with some drybrushing or a metallic highlight works wonders on making the colors really pop. I know I'm never going to win a painting contest, but having models that don't look embarrassing on the game field matters at least a little to me, and these turned out incredible. I will never basecoat in plain acrylics again.

Shouldn't be any huge problems there. I also lost against Convocation today too. Being able to bypass so many special defenses with Strange as your leader is just so strong

One thing I look forward to painting MCP stuff is each miniature is not going to be duplicated 40 times, so I don't mind spending more time on each one. Or mixing up a colour for a particular layer because I wont have to repeat it and take copious notes in order to recreate the recipe. I have finished underpainting Moonknight and I am just considering doing a few shadows and highlights but otherwise leaving him as is.

jfc Malekith's stats. 7 threat means you're pretty much taking him with 3 other 3-threats but with that insane card he's going to be an absolute monster that will wipe the floor with people. Being able to hit all 3 aspects with those attacks is also crazy. Apocalypse will probably someday be in the same 7-threat tier.

a 7 / 3 / 3 / 3 is only 16 threat, the most common is 17. in which you could take 7 / 5 / 3 / 2 or 7 / 4 / 3 / 3 both options give you a lot of breathing room for flexin. I feel like you want, at most, 4 wide at 17 so you can generally keep priority against the wide teams

You can watch the stream but here are the highlights. Strucker: Hydra Leader Red Skull: Hydra Leader. Sentinels Blob and Pyro Character Pack Some cool cad Pictures of Redskull in a tank and other terrain stuff Oh Redskull has a ridiculous tactics card. Spend 10 power Redskull and all characters within 2' get staggered. For the rest of the game Redskull has a new passive super power. He gets a third action.

A third action (I assume you knew that and just used a different term, but it is an important distinction.) It’s a wild card. It’ll be basically impossible to get off before rd3 and with the built-in stagger that means you’re getting your first bonus action rd4. So probably only averaging 1-2 bonus actions per game for 10 power. BUT staggering everything within 2 might be good on its own? So who knows! Definitely a fun card to play if not good.

yeah the aoe stagger without spending an action is wild. also happens in power phase. on close in maps it could be super deadly

admanb posted:A third action (I assume you knew that and just used a different term, but it is an important distinction.) Yep corrected. Without knowing how the Grunts work it might be possible top of turn two power phase if you plan for it with say advanced R&D use his superpower and his gainer. it is RNG 3 so its possible but unlikely. I think Versatile Strategy has some play in Hydra with the way Strucker's leadership works. His seems more situational. Hoboskins fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jul 15, 2022 |

I have a feeling the Hydra Council tactics card they haven’t spoiled yet is gonna let you switch between leaderships, possibly including head torso guy. Because both leaderships seem good, but low power.

if Zola has another leadership that would be pretty cool. would also be very themey for them to do the cut one head off and another takes over either way Hydra is shaping up to have some neat toys

They say in the stream High Council has 5 requirements. you get a whole bunch of things as a result of doing all 5 of those actions in a turn. Scientific Method which is Zola's card supposedly has a permanent game effect too. If you want to listen it is at minute 48 or so of the stream. Also the splash art is great! Edit was just listening in to the ending of the stream: More web warriors, mutants and they specifically used the phrase 'Sinister Spider Foes', hopefully some Sinister 6.
