My painted Supers thread

[fairoaks024]

I'm going to use this thread to post up my mix of painted supers,
Most are going to be repainted Heroclix for use in heroclix, or repainted and rebased for
Use in SuperSystem.

First up is living monolith

The original Guardians are some of my favourites! A lot of people write 'clix off because they're mass produced pre-paints, but there are some great sculpts available in there if you look. Nice work.

I agree, Heroclix are often quite well done.

Excellent Repaints!

So true ! And a lot of clix are extra cheap too.

Totally agree. A lot of them get a bad rep for not having detail, but I usually find that it's
because the factory paint is often very thick. If they are stripped you often find a lot of hidden
detail.

Anyway, phantom girl from the legion of superheroes

That's for sure. I'm just finishing off my original Alpha Flight team and my Vindicator figure it literally caked with super thick paint. She looks like she's wearing a snow suit! I have to strip it off before I can really be sure what I'm working with.

Great job on Phantom Girl. Shading white always gives me fits. Out of curiosity, is there a method to the madness of what figures you're choosing to repaint? Seems pretty random to me.

[fairoaks024]

Thanks.

My choices are purely down to what figures I like the look of. I'm very partial to figures which
show powers being used in some way, so monolith is huge, phantom girl phasing through something, shadow king manifesting his psychic self eye.

I also like the 'classics' too, so the iconic supers appeal too

Nice stuff - I agree the Clix can be good. Don't want to hijack the thread, but is there a good Batroc the Leaper Clix figure? The one I saw has a pose I didn't much like.

Thanks - the comic version is the pose I didn't like; didn't know about the other version.
