Post a tutorial! I’d love to see how you do it.

I’m so very jealous…but still looking forward to seeing what you do with them!

I often do some of the lesser-known Marvel characters in their MCU costumes because it makes them more recognizable to my primary opponent (my wife). Valkyrie and She-Hulk both got that treatment, for example.

I think you're on the right track with that combination. Deep purple uniform, perhaps, with blue accents (boots, mainly), and red for her symbol and perhaps her sash/forearm bindings? That could work.

Gorgeous work as always!

For Echo, maybe red, black, white, and yellow (four colors widely considered sacred to Native Americans)?

Still working extra shifts, but I pulled together a few little pieces from the Terrain Crate.

Because it’s…

This came out so cool. Well done, Scott!

That looks awesome! Now I’m tempted to pick up all of those Phoenix Five minis from Etsy…

I’ve been working extra shifts and haven’t had much time to paint. By I did crank out a couple small rubble piles from the Terrain Crate.

Haven't painted mine yet, but when I do, I'm planning to use some of the artificial foliage I have in my kit to add more interest to the base. Some colorful flowers and a few fern leaves should give it more pop.

There's something really satisfying about creating a nice piece of terrain, isn't there?

Klaw is apparently a pretty good character in the game, but I'm still not excited to have him painted. (More relieved to have him off my craft table.)

That's kind of my play style, too: I'll field teams of favorite characters, and just look for the best composition so I don't lose too badly.

Another #MCPFriday, another character I only painted because I'd already painted the other one that came in the box.

Had a hard time getting motivated on Klaw. I think it was all those little "sound cubes."

That has become my go-to, ever since I first tried it.

Nice work!

A few more pieces from the Terrain Crate: fences and posts.

I do alright with my own.

Sometimes.

I just buy and paint.

Like, sculpt them? No.

I hope they find one that suits them. Daggerheart is a great system, and my group has had lots of fun with it.

In person. I might try online at some point, but not yet.

Yes, though I'm between sessions right now. All of this (and the horse & wagon I posted last week) would have actually come in very handy back when I started my Daggerheart campaign last fall, and the PCs were delivering a wagonload of supplies to a small military garrison.

Thanks! I had fun with those.

That's awesome.

When I was *much* younger, I thought it would be the height of Cool Adult Awesomeness to have an arcade game machine (preferably a pinball machine) in my home. You're livin' my dream, man.

::squints::

Is that an *actual* coin-operated arcade game machine in the background of the third photo?
