MCP: Ant-Man (Scott Lang)

Not sure how much play time this model will get, it was more of a purchase because I thought the character in the movie was cool and funny. Eventually in a casual game I will play him and see what he can do.

Painting the smaller version of this model reminded me of the days when I used to paint Flames of War.

Here is 'Ant-Man'

MCP: Gamora

For the Atlantic City Open this June, I want to run an Avengers / Guardians of the Galaxy Roster, but only having 'Star-Lord', 'Rocket Raccoon' and 'Groot' completed, I needed at least one more model from the GotG affiliation just to make sure I am at 50.1% in order to use 'Star-Lords' Leadership Ability.

So here is my fourth model for GotG, 'Gamora'.  I elected to go with a different color scheme on her from the boxed art, I wanted her to blend in more with the movies.

MCP: Lockjaw

Right now I have no intentions on playing the "Inhumans" affiliation, but I really do like this model, he's a doggy.

In all honestly he probably will see some table time with other affiliations because he is a pretty good model to help with slower allies, and I really want to say "Who's A Good Boy?" each Round.

Here is 'Lockjaw'

MCP: Green Goblin: Norman Osborn

I purchased this model at AdeptiCon mainly for my son since he was thinking about running a Spider Foes affiliation list which would also include 'Spider-Man' just for fun.

I was a little afraid this model may give me some issues (getting the right purple and green), but it came out alright.

Here is the 'Green Goblin' Norman Osborn.

Daily Chronicle: Change in Convention Schedule for 2022

Yesterday I was thinking about our upcoming Convention Schedule for the rest of 2022, and was thinking about making some changes.

Originally planned, the next two events would have been the Motor City Mayhem in May (in which we were playing in the Warhammer 40,000 GT) and Cruisehammer in August (which also would have been a Warhammer 40,000 Open).  Well if you have been reading this blog for the past two months, you would have noticed a lot of posts recently for Marvel Crisis Protocol, and I have been getting an itch to play in one of these events.   A lot of gamer's that I had met playing Guild Ball made the move to MCP when Steamforged killed Guild Ball, and the camaraderie at these events with these players has always been fun and I am hoping MCP will be just like that.

We are thinking about doing MCP at the Michigan GT in October, but I was looking for something a bit sooner, well here comes the Atlantic City Open in June of 2022.  I have never been to Atlantic City before and have always wanted to see it, so this would be a plus.  The MCP badge at the Atlantic City Open is only $40, and that includes a day of open gaming on Friday, and two separate tournaments, one on Saturday an one on Sunday.  Now I have two months to learn the game better and play faster.

In doing the Atlantic City Open, we are cancelling Motor City Mayhem and Cruisehammer (I have been leery about Cruisehammer for awhile since they still require a negative Covid test to board the boat taken not more than two before boarding, that makes it kind of difficult when it would take us one day to drive down).

This then takes us back to Michigan GT in October, and we may then decide to play Warhammer 40,000 at that event (we are still in discussions about this),  I am also looking out for a Fall event for MCP, and there is a good one in Chicago, just not sure on the dates yet and if it will interfere with another trip of mine.

MCP: Punisher (Frank Castle)

I am more of a collector than I am a gamer (always have been) and that is where Marvel Crisis Protocol is a good game to collect (as was my love for Guild Ball).

This model for me is probably more of a collection piece for me than it is a model that will hit the gaming table, it "may" see the table for my son in a Defender's themed list.

Up next is 'Punisher', Frank Castle.

MCP: Moon Knight (Marc Spector)

Well we are into the month of April and Q2 of the year for painting. The next two Quarters will be a bit slower due to outdoor activities (Fishing), but I will be getting a few models completed here and there.

The first model completed this Quarter is a character my son just recently picked up at AdeptiCon 2022, here is 'Moon Knight' (Marc Spector).

MCP: Crosbones (Brock Rumlow)

This is the last model that needed to be completed from the Marvel Crisis Protocol Core Set, and how fitting it is that it is also the last day of Q1 in 2022.

It has been a good Quarter for me painting (usually Winter/Fall are for me) and now that Spring/Summer are coming, it will more than likely slow down a bit.

So here is 'Crossbones'.

MCP: Doctor Octopus (Otto Octavius)

With 'Amazing Spider-Man' being completed yesterday, it is only fitting to post one of his Spider Foes today, here we have 'Doctor Octopus'.

This is actually the first time for me that a majority of the model was painted with Games Workshop Contrast Paints, and I am quite happy how he turned out.

MCP: Amazing Spider-Man (Peter Parker)

I have to admit, I was a little scared when it came time to paint 'Spider-Man', but I took my time, and I am really happy on how he came out.

On my first 'Spider-Man' from the Core Set, I took the easy way out and painted the black suit, but wit this model I wanted to paint the traditional red and blue suit, and it came out good.
