Back to fully painted with this batch. I took my time and used minimal to no washes this time around.  I cannot wait to paint that Lizard...

The minis for this game are getting better and better and it's picked up a lot of steam in my area. It's one of my favorite games right now. Also I'm not super into Blade but his mini is amazing.

Blade reveal was cool but OMEGA RED and CASSANDRA NOVA were loving awesome. Really enjoying how deep into X-Men these game designers are going and how much the miniature designs are improving. Sadly I was just getting started with mini painting when I bought many of these (my Winter Soldier and Iron Man are really terrible) but I'm glad there will be so many great minis coming out to go nuts on.

So I've been trying to follow along with new mini previews, but the MCP/Atomic Mass website absolutely sucks - where can I go to see previews images and such regularly?

Really wish I had the gumption to get some of the newer characters coming out but something about the plastic or detail of Crisis Protocol miniatures throws me off so badly. I'm able to paint Warhammer 40k/Sigmar stuff really, really well but for some reason, like half of my CP miniatures end up looking pretty mediocre. Am I just crazy or is there something about the quality that makes them harder to paint? I'll admit I got started painting minis with Crisis Protocol so quite a few of my collection is kind of sludgy but even newer stuff like She-Hulk gave me some issues. Maybe it's due to some detail lines not being raised as much---I remember being pissy when I painted Wolverine.

I hear what you're saying; the detail on some models is very shallow and can disappear under slightly heavy priming. Wolverine was not a pleasure to paint. Chunkier models, like Thor, Sabertooth, Ronan, etc. are much easier/more fun to paint and feel more like GW models. I go much slower and have dropped washes almost entirely and feel my completed models look a lot better.

The quality of the sculps swings wildly, even on features that should ostensibly be the same. Compare Angela to Loki. Both Asguadian models, released not that far apart. Angela's model is an absolute pleasure to work on so long as you can get past the ribbon things. Her face is very detailed, including a subtle mask. Had no trouble with her at all. Then I get to Loki. The posing and his clothes are fine, but I have no idea what they were doing with his face. He's clearly got both a nose and chin, and there's something where his mouth should be. Eyes? Not really.

Yeah I really dislike the wolverine sculpt, it looks more like he's performing a cabaret number than battling.

Case in point: Domino has detailed/prominent facial features. Not big on the pose, but she was fun to paint.

the newer miniature sculpts for CP, at the very least, are absolutely epochs beyond the starter set stuff. The Magneto I painted a few months back was definitely one of the best minis in terms of detail and smoothness. Kraven/Lizard might be two of the most incredible miniatures I've seen across the board of any mini game.

I think I want to collect all the Spider-Man and his villains stuff for this game. I know enough about the rules to know I'd like it, but the sculpts for upcoming stuff look great. That Omega Red though...

It's a fun game! I started out buying Miles and Gwen because I wanted to paint them, and now I own almost everything... The models keep getting better and more dynamic, and the game itself is pretty nuanced while not being overly complicated and quick to play.

I bought this game for my 11 year old niece (and so I could collect and paint some X-Men). This will be her first time trying a miniatures game and painting, so hopefully she likes one of these things! Are there any good tutorial missions for this game, especially cooperative ones like the one official ultron co-op mission?

I would recommend pre-determining the Crises, and avoid the Ultimate Encounters. The UEs, like Ultron's, are pretty brutal even under normal conditions. They are less co-op experiences IMO, and more akin to boss raids. Feel free to try them out, though! I haven't played a UE since last summer when a small group decided to virtually try Thanos' UE.

LOL holy poo poo the new Kraven model has an ability called Fearful Symmetry wherein if you knock out a Peter Parker character, you can then BECOME the core box Spider-Man. loving situational and fluffy as hell but could be such a cool narrative trump card if you're low on health and are against Spider-Man. Paintingwise for some reason I have never been that great with Marvel minis compared to Warhammer, but these might be the best two I've ever done so far---finally realized that the CP minis really need much thinner paint on the less pronounced details.

So I just received the core set as a gift from some friends and after looking at the miniatures I am very excited to get all the characters built and painted. My dad owns a comic book store so Marvel characters have a special place in my heart. I'm telling myself I need to paint the starter set before I get any of the expansion characters because I'm already eyeing the xmen and ghost rider. Does anyone have any experience with the fat dragon games paper craft buildings? I would rather start putting a table together with stuff like that rather than the more expensive mdf terrain I see available.

Painting Wolverine's eyes on either of his heads has made me hate this model. There's just something about the spacing and the raised parts not being where I expect them to be that's throwing me off. Any tips?

There's just something about the spacing and the raised parts not being where I expect them to be that's throwing me off. Any tips? this is echoing the problems I was describing previously----CP models sometimes not having raised detail at all (Wolverine's side-stripes loving SUCK for this reason too.) I managed to fix his mask eyeholes by just repetition of painting the white on them, and repainting the black on the excess white until I was sorta satisfied with it. For every CP model that is moderately easy and has decent detail lines, there's another where the sculptor was like "ah who gives a gently caress" and it's incredibly annoying. In any case, I think everyone hated painting Wolverine and that's a shame because he's loving Wolverine. The new sculpts coming out in the next month or so are absolutely their most incredible work yet so I'm hoping the details are more "raised up"+ maybe the increase in quality will apply to that as well.

Wolverine is one of the models in the range with a poorly defined face. Nissin Cup Nudist posted:I have Ghost Rider and plan on picking up Dr. Strange eventually. Who else should I get to fill out the Defenders? A friend plays this game pretty competitively (if that's your thing) and he's been finding great success with this roster: Dr. Strange Soul Gem Hawkeye Valkyrie Iron Fist Scarlet Witch Enchantress MODOK Hulk Toad You can't go wrong with the Iron Fist / Luke Cage and Thor / Valkyrie boxes even in casual play.

Okay, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one. I was losing my mind trying to figure out why I couldn't dot some simple eyes on a model. And yes, the side stripes also made me hate painting him. All this on top of the always nightmarish bright yellow that Wolverine likes to rock.
