Marvel United: Ms.Marvel Painted Miniature Figure

Another Ms.Marvel today! Don’t worry, it’s the last one. I promise. Possibly forever.

Marvel United: Ms.Marvel Painted Miniature Figure

This figure, in the Chibi-like Marvel United style fell into the middle of the three games’ figures in terms of painting enjoyment – not as painful as the larger Marvel Crisis Protocol version, but still feeling a bit more awkward to paint then the Marvel Zombies version, given again large areas of flat clothing with little to no detail (and a Superhero Costume to emulate, rather than something to go crazy on). The larger face presents a bit of a challenge when compared to “normal” miniatures due to the more subtle blends required, but also gives more canvas to play with for the eyes and mouth, though her mask and forward-arm pose got in the way I little bit.

The costume here does at least give the character some definition that I was able to take advantage of, though the character still wasn’t doing me any favours. As with both of the other iterations, I used diluted Contrast Paint over pre-shaded metallics for the costume while painting other details traditionally. I again went with a medium skin tone to reflect Kamala’s background. I mean, they’re literally the same paint mixes as on the other two versions!

I do have to give credit to the designers for this one – the pose is at least heroic-feeling, with some (too much?) movement added via Kamala’s scarves. Certainly the best pose from the collection of these figures, with perhaps the smaller Crisis protocol one coming in second with the “hands on hips” stance that fits Kamala due to it’s “idealist” feel.

And here they are. Not one, not two, not even four, but FIVE versions of Ms.Marvel across three and a half games. I can’t say I enjoyed painting these – any of these, but now they’re all done and she can be added to the Roster of painted heroes (and an opponent) for three games. Once again, these go towards both “Fembruary” and Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 24-25.

Zombicide 2nd Edition X Last Night On Earth: Character Crossover 3 – Timber Peak

Last Night On Earth: Timber Peak Survivors: Jake Cartwright, Sally, Sherriff Anderson, Ed Baker

More figures on the Zombie-Sided part of our collection – these four being the last four previously-unpainted figures from unrelated Zombie game Last Night on Earth‘s Timber Peak expansion.

Last Night On Earth: Timber Peak Survivors: Jake Cartwright, Sally, Sherriff Anderson, Ed Baker

Timber Peak features a few characters from the original core set – those who managed to canonically survive the events of the initial outbreak depicted in the first box, I guess. Regardless, following on the previous LNOE Zombicide cards we made several months ago, it was time to make some new ones for these four.

Last Night On Earth Survivor Sally

So first we have Sally. Her miniature looks much the same. Slightly longer hair, slightly longer axe handle, slightly shorter skirt. Last Night On Earth: Timber Peak Survivor: Zombicide Card - Sally, Woodinvale Survivor

We also made up a new Zombicide Survivor card for these returning survivors, with a few upgrades but trying not to go as far as the official “Ultimate Survivor” figures.

Same deal with Jake. He appears to have turned his fur-lined ushanka cap around, as it looks like he was wearing it inside out in his initial run. Perhaps he just found a better one. He also traded in his axes for a rifle, so we just tweaked some skills to reflect that, and have him a basic rifle as starting gear as an “upgraded” version of the survivor.

Last Night On Earth Survivor Sherriff Anderson

Sherriff Anderson has in some ways had the biggest change. He ditched his jacket but apparently was able to get leg-lengthening surgery in the interim. His hat is also a couple of sizes smaller, and so to match that he also had his head shrunk by a size or two.

 

All very normal looking – and a real triumph in boardgame miniature sculpting!

Again – just a few upgrades from the original in the vein of not-quite-as-extreme Ultimate Survivors.

We then have Ed Baker – a new character from this expansion.

Last Night On Earth: Timber Peak Survivor: Zombicide Card - Alice, Diner Waitress Last Night On Earth: Timber Peak Survivor: Zombicide Card - Nikki, Bush Pilot

We also made cards for the other two Timber Peak survivor models awhile ago, so why not include them in this post? Alice the Diner Waitress and Nikki the Bush Pilot. Once again, these cards were all made thanks to Wuxyteo’s website (not linked due to not secure – google it and you’ll be good).

And with that, we’re done for this post. These figures were painted in December over a few days after finishing work for the year, and so they just about fit in with Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 24-25 challenge concluding this month. How many models do I need to post up before the 28th of February that I finished in January and February? 

What’s the date today?

Oh!
