Sentinel repaint


On a 'lead adventurers forum' thread regarding superhero scenario ideas, one was floated that involved a Sentinel, a mutant hunting giant robot.  My initial thought was - what a good idea! The second was - I have one of those!! :)
After hunting it down and gluing on its hands (they are removable on the model), I undercoated it and attempted to paint it. I have to admit that I was slightly nervous about it as it is a large model and way outside my comfort zone when it comes to painting. It was slightly unwieldy to move about during the painting process and needed a few touch ups at the end.  However, I am reasonably pleased with the way it turned out.
Here it is with some other heroes in for scale.

 And just to entertain myself, here are the Avengers to fight it :)
Ironman and Thor launch themselves as the Hulk leads the way.
 Hawkeye provides some support from the rooftop, while Black widow maybe needs a bigger gun!
 It is a big model!


 Hawkeye's view of the proceedings.

So all I need to do now is start to paint the other 138 superheroes I got to repaint at Christmas!
comments always appreciated.

A good new year to everyone :)

final set of repaints

well...for a while anyway.  It will take me a while to paint all of the dc herocliks so I will post them in twos and threes rather than 48 at a time!!!
here are the last 12 groups of 4.  This accounts for all the repaints I have done so far.
Without further ado, here they are...
 Arachne, Night Thrasher, Ghost, Jackel
 Hydroman, She-Hulk, Kang, Killer Shrike
 Pyro (by far my worst paint job - might get another of him and redo it), Sasquatch, Avalanche, Paste pot Pete
 Mach-1, Thor, Atlas, Hyperion
 wolverine, boomerang, chamber, black widow
 Taskmaster, magik, betsy braddock, The Punisher
 Silver Samurai, Powerman, wizard, Kingpin
 Wendigo, wildfire, Sage, Patriot
 Anaconda, Electro, Vision, Hercules
 Abomination, Luke Cage (again - not sure how that happened), Ultron, Firestar
 Annihilus, Yellowjacket, whirlwind, Beetle
Thundra, Silver surfer, Sabretooth and Powerlad.

Well, that's finally over.  Next I will look at some of the other projects I have on the go.
Next up will be some modern survivors that I have recently painted.  If its not before the 25th, then have a good Christmas and I hope Santa is good to you .

a few more cliks

Carrying on with the photos of my marvel heroclik collection, here are some more.  I will try and finish them off at the weekend and then can try and show something new.
 Rhino, Dr. Oct, Dr. Strange, The Controller
 Cannonball, The Klaw, Antman, Nocturne
 Hobgoblin, Bishop, The Scarlet Witch, man beast
 wolfbane, swamp thing, speed demon, mystique
 quicksilver, the puppet master, Bi-beast, diamond back
 green goblin, daredevil, moltenman, moleman
 Blizzard, mr fixit, diamond lil, Calypso
 the wasp, magma, cyclops, electra
 dreadnaut, Attuma, Korg, hepzibah
 Power Princess, white tiger, beast, colossus
kid nova blade (another bent figure), spiderman, capt marvel
storm, meggan (yet another figure that was straightened and has just reverted to its bent shape), mockingbird, wonderman.
one of the joys of repaints and rebasing is that you never have to buy the expensive version of a figure as the price is linked to its in game use.  I don't think I paid more than a dollar or two for any of them but most were around 50c each.
After I finish showing all the supers I plan on showing some modern survivors I have painted recently as this blog was originally intended to plot my path towards an 'All things zombie' game.

thanks for looking.

marvel herocliks

A while back I bough a load of herocliks from Troll and Toad to repaint.  My aim was to blog them as I finished them and, although I carried on painting them, the other part of the plan fell by the wayside.  Now that I have placed another (big !) order with troll and toad (138 new dc herocliks) I feel that I should show the others first.  Some of these were shown already but so few that I figured just show the lot again.
There are a few of them so I might split this over two posts.
 the fantastic four - The Thing, Reed Richards, The human torch and invisible woman.  Mr Fantastic is quite hard to get a good photo of due to his curly pose.
 Dragon man, Blastaar, Drax the destroyer, ironmonger
 meteorite, silver sable, shatterstar, Dr doom
 Rogue, Falcon, Bullseye, Mr. Hyde
 juggernaut, Thundra, Skaar, Titania
The Blob, Capt.America, Angel, Swordsmaster
 Iceman - although not really a repaint rather just inked to preserve its translucent nature, stature, ursa major, Black knight
 Magneto, jolt, marrow, Banshee
 moonknight, Prof Xavier, Gorgon, Iron fist
 Immortus, the Manderin (not keen on the painting of this one) the Hood,
 The Scorpion, The Hulk, Meik, armadillo,
 Northstar, Giantman, Cable, Crimson Dynamo ( I have two versions of crimson Dynamo but I like this one the best)
 Jean Grey, Domino, Capt Britain, Hawkeye
 Boom Boom, toad, jubilee, Havok
.
Dr Spectrum (figure is a bit bent over and now cannot straighten it out now that he is painted)
Nova, Vulture, Iron man
That's probably enough to be going on with.  Will add more when I get a chance - hopefully later this week as I have just started my summer holidays :)
