MCP: Magneto (Max Eisenhardt)

It is Friday, and what not a better way to end the work week than with one of the Leaders for the "Brotherhood of Mutants".

'Magneto'

After re-watching "all" the X-Men movies last week, I decided that I wanted my 'Magneto' to look more like the younger one portrayed by Michael Fassbender and less of the purple on the costume.

I used this pictture as my inspiration.

And here is my 'Magneto'

MCP: Toad (Mortimer Toynbee)

I have never been a fan of painting yellow, so when I first received this model, I was a bit leery on how I was going to paint him. 

After getting through 'Sabretooth' and finding a technique that I like, it was time to tackle 'Toad'.

MCP: Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff)

My "Brotherhood of Mutants" is coming along quite nicely and as long as my 'Mystique' package gets to me fairly soon, they should all be completed by early June.

It has been just about three weeks since I have seen the new Dr, Strange 2 movie, and it was fitting to get the 'Scarlet Witch' completed this month.

MCP: Gambit (Remy LeBeau)

Continuing on with my "Brotherhood of Mutants" Affiliation, and it will be this way for the next few posts.  As long as I have the models to complete them, my plan is to finish this Affiliation.  Currently though, I have a few models lost with USPS down in Florida.

Without further adieu, here is 'Gambit'.

MCP: Quicksilver (Pietro Maximoff)

At the end of last week I started posting models from a new Affiliation I am working on, the "Brotherhood of Mutants", and I started with 'Sabretooth'.

Continuing this week will be more models from the "Brotherhood" and up next is 'Quicksilver'.

MCP: Sabretooth (Victor Creed)

It's Friday and let's get in one more model in for the week.

I believe I have decided on my next Affiliation I want to play for awhile after we get back from the Atlantic City Open next month, the "Brotherhood of Mutants".

I just re-watched the younger character X-Men movies (all 4) and I am really interested in the Brotherhood.

To kick off my new Affiliation, I started with 'Sabretooth'

MCP: Nebula

I finally got around to painting my last model for the Guardians of the Galaxy (technically 'Angela' is also in the Affiliation, but I consider her for an Inhuman), I have been holding off for a little bit because I was not sure exactly how I would be painting her.

After thinking about it, it came to me and I was able to pick up the paint colors that I needed in order to complete her.

MCP: Vision (Victor Shade)

I ended up going to see "Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness" without watching WandaVision first.  After the movie (a few days later) I decided to watch the last episode just to see how it tied into the movie.  Once I saw 'Vision' in a white suit, I knew that is how I wanted to paint my model.

MCP: Blade (Eric Brooks)

A new week and it looks like I will have a few more models ready this week for posting.  Since I am undecided on my next Roster/Affiliation I want to play after the Atlantic City Open, right now I am painting models that I just want to paint.

It does help that this next model is a Leader for the Midnight Sons Affiliation, so if I decide to go that route, the Leader is completed.

Here is 'Blade'.

Weekly Chronicle 2022 #20 (1 Month Till Atlantic City Open)

It has been awhile since I have done a Weekly Chronicle (week #9 was the last), but hobbying/gaming is still going pretty decent.

The amount of games played so far this year has been low, but that is ok, I am still getting in practice for Marvel Crisis Protocol and I am enjoying that game.

We are just under one month until the Atlantic City Open on the weekend of June 10th-12th, and that is what our practice games are for.  Frontline Gaming was originally known for throwing some of the largest Warhammer 40,000 events, but their "Opens" are becoming larger with more events being held, like MCP.

Unlike my son who still needs to finish two models for his ACO Roster, my Roster is completed and right now I am painting models I want to for fun, also getting Rosters ready for future events.

This past week was a good week seeing 'Juggernaut', 'Killmonger', 'Shadowland Daredevil', and the 'Hand Ninjas' all being completed.  This week will also see a few more models being completed, then it may slow down a bit until after ACO.

Once we get back from the ACO (more than likely start on the car ride home) I'll be thinking of the next Roster I want to play at our next event, currently that will be the Michigan GT or Second Wind 4, both of which are in October unless something comes along.
