SWL: Emperor Palpatine (Ruler of the Galactic Empire)

The collector in me wanted this next model, besides how can you collect Galactic Empire army without the Emperor himself.

As of now I have no immediate plans on playing this character, but as my collection grows and I learn the game better, I'll be changing up my lists and he will see the playing the table.

Here is 'Emperor Palpatine'

SWL: Imperial Officer (Ruthless Commander)

When running 'Darth Vader' (Operatve), I still need a Commander to lead my Galactic Empire.

With the high points cost of 'Darth Vader' already, no better way than with an 'Imperial Officer'.

Weekly Chronicle 2022 #29 (Marvel Crisis Protocol /Star Wars Legion Updates)

It has been a while since the last Weekly Chronicle (6 weeks, just before ACO) and thought it was time for a little catch up and what we have in the pipeline.

Marvel Crisis Protocol has been going strong all year, ever since we got back from the Las Vegas Open, it has been the main game for me, and I really enjoy playing it.  I also went full stem on painting models for MCP and we are at 79 painted models so far.

Events are also lined up for MCP, we attended the Atlantic City Open in June, and now we have Second Wind 4 in October and Mid Mitten Gaming Con in November all lined up, those will probably be it until 2023.

Star Wars Legion has really caught me by surprise, I did not think we would be adding in this game this year.  What caught my eye was an event upcoming at LVO 2023 called "Unconventional Warfare" which is a bit of a narrative event that does not require fully painted model (although I am trying to be fully painted).  This event will complement our MCP events at LVO 2023.

These two games are going to be keeping me busy for the rest of 2022 and probably all of 2023.

SWL: Darth Vader (The Emperor's Apprentice)

We are going to finish out the week with another Star Wars Legion model, and this time it will be the second version of this model for SWL, 'Darth Vader (The Emperor's Apprentice)'.

This 'Darth Vader is an Operative in the game, he is not a strong as his Commander version, but he costs less in Point and his Movement is faster and get up into battle much faster (where you want him),

SWL: Darth Vader (Dark Lord of the Sith)

We have a turn of events from what you have been reading/seeing for most of this year.

Marvel Crisis Protocol just moved to a side burner (not that back) and Star Wars Legion is receiving the painting brush for a little bit of time.

I m waiting on some of the new Citadel paints that are releasing this weekend before I work on any of the 'Stormtroopers', so I thought I would start on some of the Commander and Operative models first, since those paints I did have.

There are two different 'Darth Vaders' currently in the game, and up first in the Commander model 'Darth Vader (Dark Lord of the Sith)'.

These models are a smaller scale than MCP, and are only worth the standard 1 point each compared to 2 points with MCP.

MCP: Black Widow Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D (Natasha Romanoff)

Well you cannot post 'Hawkeye' one day and not follow up with his buddy 'Black Widow'.  

This is the second 'Black Widow' for MCP and this version is a 3 Threat compared to her previous version, a 2 Threat.

MCP: Hawkeye (Clint Barton)

I do not really have much to say about this next model, except he is cool and I wanted to get him done, plus it gives me another arsenal for an Avengers Affiliation or possibly the new S.H.I.E.L.D Affiliation.

MCP: Thanos

I cannot remember if it was to or from Atlantic City Open, but that was when I got it into my head on how I wanted to paint 'Thanos'. He has been sitting on my shelf unpainted (and unplayed) for the longest time, and then a "light bulb" went off in my head while driving and I came up with a game plan.

I am actually thrilled on how he came, now eventually the rest of his Back Order will need to be assembled and painted.

MCP: Viper (Ophelia Sarkissian)

I know it is a Saturday and I a doing a model post, does not happen too often.  Work has been pretty busy and just wanted to make sure another one gets posted, plus, writing this post with a cup of coffee is nice and relaxing.

In all honesty this next model I am not sure how much table time she will see, it was more of "I wanted to finish another model and try out a metallic green paint".

Here we have 'Viper'.

MCP: Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)

In all honesty, I started to watch the new Disney Plus show "Ms. Marvel", and after two episodes I gave up on it, but that does not mean I was not going to paint up the Marvel Crisis Protocol model for her.

'Ms. Marvel' completes the last model for the Inhumans Affiliation (and she also fits into other Affiliations too).
