As indicated elsewhere, my concept for a gaming surface made up of different types of scenery isolated from each other by walls is very gradually taking shape; and one of the types of games I can see this used for would be superhero teams.
Since many sci fi (and other) models can be adapted as superheroes, I think I can have a field day here of the more literal Avengers Assemble sort, featuring superglue. As is typical for me I am not conforming to any existing force, and am starting my own team - the Cobalt Provenders.
So far I found 8 already painted models who can fit in - together with a nasty supervillian, and a few demonic types who can be his minions.
Which means I have to take pics in the weekend....
Small spoiler - one of these will be Froot, who is not-quite-Groot.....
Only one other hero has a name so far - Barndoor.
-
Sounds nice! Will wait for the photos! ^^

Maybe with a name like 'Barndoor' you don't mind so much, but you do realise that 'Cobalt Provenders' means something like 'different types of food made of cobalt', don't you?

:D Yes... which I now realise is probably an even worse indictment than ignorance of the term! ; ;D
A slogan for the team:
Fattening up justice one day at a time.
And a battle cry:
'It's feeding time!'

Here they are:

That's a grand team you have there. I heartily support calling them the Cobalt Provenders.
'So we're going to, you know, protect and defend?'
'Yeah, protect and defend: that's what we'll do...'
'O'NGEPEEL LIKE PROVEND!'
'Yes Orangepeel, Provenders, that's what we are...'
'Plorgsquortle'
'No one can understand you Odsquid, I don't know why you bother.'
-
I love them all. I would buy this comic.

You get them! That's the Provenders!
Unfortunately Orangepeel isn't good at remembering the 'l' at the end of his name either, and that is a tad embarassing....
Thanks Hat Guy - Red Orc can do the text I'd say :D
As you can see they were never meant to be a team - widely different brands and basing! But there's many a superhero team which began with incompatible characters, so nothing new there.
These are old paintjobs, with the exception of Mr. O'Peel, more to come at a very slow pace. And with unifying bases from now on.

It's a deal. Send me the pictures and I'll write the dialogue.

Hmmmm..... I need a backdrop theatre for this.
Oh - and a villain too. Not a team of villains, methinks. One nasty sort, with a henchman or two and an army. ;)

Nice work so far!
I know somewhere you can get robot armies, hoards of thugs, and gobs of comic book henchman :)

And possibly rules ;)
Meanwhile, the first 'new' super is coming up - Sulphur.
