Godlike

Godlike is the title of a table-top roleplaying game about superpowered soldiers in a WWII setting. It's been very influential in planning this whole project, although I will probably use its less-constrained successor Wild Talents for the actual rules.

Godlike is also an apt descriptor for these four, probably the most physically powerful characters that will exist in this campaign. Hercules might be available as a playable character since superhuman strength is his *only* power, but the other three are just as strong and can also fly and do other stuff as well, so they are all strictly NPCs. Fighting even one of them would be an epic encounter...

Bonus: another Superman vs Namor staredown vignette, using custom Chicago scenery (more on that later)...

A wizard is never late, nor is he early...

...he arrives precisely when he means to.

Here is a quartet of golden-age magic characters, arranged in order of ascending sartorial flamboyance:

The first is Doctor Occult. I could not find any actual minis of him, but since he's just a dude wearing a fedora and trenchcoat, I painted up a heroclix "Maggia Goon". He's definitely reaching for his mystic talisman, not a handgun.

Next is Zatara, golden-age father of the much more famous Zatanna. He's a heroclix Zatara, but fully repainted and with a bowtie I made from paper.

After him is Sargon the Sorceror, not to be confused with the ancient kings or fascist youtuber named Sargon. Another converted heroclix, the original model had an absurdly tiny head, so I replaced it with a plastic medieval Arab head from a historical kit.

Finally we have the Ancient One, washed and highlighted but not converted at all. The character was not invented until the 60s, but would have existed in the 30s, much like Howard Stark and Vandal Savage.

two more NPCs: Mr. President and friend

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt with a scientific advisor, Howard Stark.

Stark's kid won't invent the Iron Man suit for another three decades, so I wonder what's in the red suitcase?

Howard is (perhaps obviously) a Tony Stark repaint. FDR is a Professor X mini, with hair added and face resculpted a bit.

A Tale of Three Furies

My first heroclix order of the year just came in. Part of the order was a trio of Nick Furies (Nicks Fury?). I couldn't decide which I liked most and they were cheap, so I got all three.

And boy am I glad I did. Look at that scale difference! Included Commissioner Gordon and a Kingpin for scale.

Some heroes, some villains

Hi again. It's getting close to summer, which means it's blockbuster season. Which means superhero movies on the big screen, which means my interest in this project gets revived.

Here are some new heroclix. I think Human Torch is the only full repaint in this batch.
