The All-Winners Squad
« on: May 16, 2011, 12:33:40 PM »
Something of a misnomer given their defeat in round 9 of the recent LPL contest, but "The All-Winners Squad" was the original name of Marvel's WWII super-team ("The Invaders" was a retcon term from the 1970s comic of the same name).

I was originally going to call the entry The All-Winners Squad, but that might have seemed hubristic in the context of the LPL (hubristic in the extreme, given the voting results of round 9).

Nevertheless, I thought that folks might like to see some individual pictures of the various squad members:

"All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield...!"


And now the toughest bellhop in this man's army...

Bucky (full-face):

The Human Torch (full-face):

Note that the Heroclix (android) Human Torch figure is dressed in his outfit from the 2004 comic book series "The New Invaders", not his original 1940s uniform. I trimmed the sleeve pockets off his upper arms to make him a closer visual match to his original outfit.

Toro:

"Stronger than a whale, he can swim anywhere, he can breathe underwater and go flying through the air...!"

Namor, the Sub-mariner:

Namor's base was my first experiment with a water effect and I was quite pleased with how it turned out.

I think Namor is particularly impressive.

Love these  :-*.  Particularly the little details on the bases, scorched grass, reflective rock pools, etc.  And I would agree that Namor is pareticularly well painted.
