Title: An Odd Mix of Super Heroes
Post by: Jonas on 13 June 2014, 03:29:51 PM

Last summer I was so fortunate to try some games of Super System from Four Colour Studios and I was instantly hooked. It really felt like a great set of rules, very free and open for anything you want to do. Cars were thrown, houses blown up and generally the entire city was devastated in the battle of Super Heroes against Super Villains.

So this year we are again doing some extraordinary mayhem with the Super System, so I have been painting a bit for the project and re-used some already painted models.

I must apologise for the strange colours on my photos, but I used a different lamp than usual when I took the photos, so they ended up looking strangely yellow all of them.

First up I already had Dr. Brain from Black Cat Bases and Mr. Muscle from Reaper (The two guys on the right of the photo above).

Then I found an old McDonalds toy, from Kung-Fu Panda, in a second hand store and after some greenstuff and paint I thought he would make a great super hero too.

My latest addition was the Golden Oldie super hero from Black Hat Miniatures, I decided to make him kind of senile, so I sculpted a strap for his cape and drilled a belly bottom for him, so he looks like he forgot to put on most of his costume. I think he ended up rather spiffy.

Dr. Brain, Golden Oldie, mr. Mucle.

Master Monkey.

I haven't settled on any names or super powers for any of these guys, so background and such is all work in progress, but the models are finished and ready to rumble.

Next up I thought I could use my Arashikage Ninjas, from my ongoing G.I. Joe project, as henchmen (I promise I will get back to my G.I. Joe project again soon).

Arashikage.

I have more super heroes, villains and henchmen in the making, among them is some Nazi villains and their henchmen of werewolves, kriegaffen and gasmasked troopers and I am almost done with my RAFM Cthulhu and his deep one henchmen.

Thanks. I also think he ended up looking quite nice. There is more contrast in the fur in real life though, but I think the strange light faded some of it away. Maybe I will take a better photo another day.

Another reason I wish Black Cat Bases was functioning normally! Excellent work, if I may say so!

Exactly what I like to see in a super team, an odd mix of great minis.

I have a long list of items I want to buy as soon as Black Cat is up and running again.

Anyway, thanks guys. I hope to have more strange super heroes, villains and henchmen in the future. But with all my current projects it is always hard to tell what comes next.

Some Dust Warfare Gorillas.

These were easy to paint and besides being awful plastic they are great miniatures.

I have some Nazi Super Villains who will hang around with these guys later.
