Marvel Zombies: Core Set & Heroes’ Resistance: Spider-Man & Spider-Man

Marvel Zombies: Core Set & Heroes' Resistance: Spider-Man & Spider-Man

Waitwut? Well, in this post we have two Spidey Sculpts, one from the Marvel Zombies: Heroes Resistance board game which is a cut-down, retailer-friendly version of the “full” game – Marvel Zombies – which is where the second sculpt of Spidey here is from.

The two versions of Spidey here actually come with different stat cards, so they actually play a little differently. I went with the traditional Spidey costume for the first version (as I started painting it months and months ago) and then decided to go with an alternate scheme for the second version, loosely based on the black-and-gold suit from No Way Home. I did try to paint the suit with black panels with gold lines, but it’s veeeeery difficult compared to the black lining you can see on the red-and-blue, and I decided that the solid gold still looked pretty good, so…

I still actually have two more Spideys for this game to paint down the line – another of the Black and Gold sculpt as well as the “Artists Box” sculpt, so plenty more canvas for additional Spider-variations. Not to mention all the Crisis Protocol Spideys….

This leaves me with four more models left to complete the Heroes’ Resistance box – Hulk, Wasp, Vision and Zombie Wanda. Another target to try to complete before the end of 2023! In the meantime, September’s posts roll on…

Cthulhu: Death May Die – Tcho-Tcho

Cthulhu: Death May Die - Tcho-Tcho painted miniature figurines

Well, in September I didn’t manage to get three investigators completed to catch up from August and current month, and so with just two days left to go I wanted to make sure I still made some meaningful progress on getting this board game painted, so I pulled out the set of five Tcho-Tcho from the Season 2 set that I’d started several months ago.

Not knowing all that much in terms of the details of the Cthulhu mythos – particularly in terms of depth – I just went with my usual method of basing my paint schemes on the CMON illustrations once again. So they’re kinda like tanned, jacked ghouls – which will obviously give them some utility use for other games if ever needed.

These enemies seem to be on the lower tier, alongside things like Human Cultists and Deep Ones and Ghouls – at least if the miniatures are anything to go by! As noted above, I’m hoping that my offering of these five Tcho-Tcho will appease the Great Elder God of Wudugast for our monthly Death May Die pact…

I’d nominate these for Challenging Challengemeister Dave Stone’s Apocalypse Me, but it’s an October challenge, and these are September-painted models as I still have a few days of backlog to get posted up yet…
