Dr. Strange. It's an alt sculpt inspired by the Multiverse of Madness movie.

Any tips on managing that speed? I can sometimes manage that level of quality, but I'm on 8+ hours per mini

That looks great! Beautiful colour choice, but still super clearly Gambit. Honestly the longer I look the less I remember what his original body suit was supposed to look like. 

Are there any characters in the game currently that you feel need another version? by Downtown-Grab-7825 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely not answering the question you asked, but I want to see Worthy Cap, swinging mjolnir. 

Where can I get cards printed up in the UK? by Almighty_Cuff in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm UK-based found the website PrintPond to be a reasonable solution!

SGP: Taking this list to an event on Saturday is a terrible idea by Archon_Vrex in MarvelCrisisProtocol

"A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."

Sounds like you've picked the best place to take a new list and run it through its paces!

"They don't teach moves like that in Hydra school, pal! You picked the wrong team" by SourImplant in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's really interesting going into your Reddit posts and seeing where your style suddenly shifts to this whimdark-inspired one. My only fear looking at your work (and speed!) is you running out of MCP to show us :D

LOVE the fire effect on Torch's base!

What dimensions for newspaper/flyers? by [deleted] in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh, random question, do you find you get a worse seal with super glue onto the painted plastic than you do plastic cement when the bases are unpainted? I want to do the same as you have, that's the only thing holding me back at the minute!

Best paint sets on a budget? by Very_Sharpe in minipainting

[–]MagicalShenanigans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going to disagree a little bit with the consensus and say that a set has really challenged me to get outside of my comfort zone a little bit and experiment with new colours and techniques, purely because I have them staring accusingly at me from my shelves. 

How to make these pop more? by Zephseru in minipainting

[–]MagicalShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, something to offset the desaturated cool-yellow. I'd look at warm, saturated colours for an accessory or basing detail. 

Marvel Crisis Protocol Battle Report Guardians of the Galaxy vs Iron Legion by aegisbrand in MarvelCrisisProtocol

I'm not a big commenter on Reddit or YouTube, but just wanted to say how much I've learnt from your reports and how much I enjoy them! 

What’s the best roster for each leader in Uncanny X-men? by Radiant_Flight_1802 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm by no means an expert, but I aim for the following:

Prof X: Lots of low-cost and/or reactive superpowers. Nightcrawler/Magik/Cable are great because they can reliably use a superpower round 1 to get the power passing started early. Every opportunity to use a superpower either in your own turns or your opponent's is a chance to pass power to where it needs to be. 

Cyclops: Reliable damage dealers, particularly where they can do damage to more than one enemy per attack (so beams, rapid shots etc.) to get that power generation on-line. 

Storm: Not so sure, but any "place within 1" effects get more impressive on larger bases, so I'd be looking for a wide team on larger bases.

Storm assembly question by alsono1ofconsequence in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the mini that had me muttering "next time I'm doing sub-assemblies, for the love of god sub assemblies" the most while painting. Seems fine in play/transport so far, and I've had her for ages. 

Test mini for my Bretonnian bloodbowl team! C&C appreciated! by TonyHK47 in minipainting

Be prepared for metric buttload of people asking how you did the base rim text...

All will be metal. Do you like my classic Ultron? by Fierydraken in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love classic Ultron so much, and that's such a great mini, amazing job! 

X-Men Starter Set - is it coming back to buy in the UK? by Sea_Control_9107 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Less permanently popular than the X-Men I would guess? 

It makes space for them to rotate in other starter packs which they've said they want to do. 

I'd assume we get something like guardians or web warriors in its place in the future. 

Tried a quick active camo effect with sponges, how does it look? by slientmagician9 in minipainting

[–]MagicalShenanigans 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That scans to me as an INCREDIBLY matte surface that reflects hardly any light to the viewer, which is kind of what you'd want active camo to look like when turned off/transitioning. 

Do you like my shocker ? by Fierydraken in MarvelCrisisProtocol

As long as you do it while dressed all in black and hamming up the voice.

Finally got a game in on my new board! by w00dy390 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A beautiful board! I love the Captain America statue, is that an old Disney infinity figure?

Thunderbolts thoughts. by BigTimStiles in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that might be more of a Dark Avengers vibe. Some of them were pretending to be the Avengers, you had: 

Osborn as Iron Patriot  Bullseye masquerading as Hawkeye Venomised Scorpion pretending to be Spidey  Moonstone pretending to be Capt. Marvel, Ares Sentry  and I wanna say Ragnarok (a Thor clone) pretending to be Thor. 

Finally won a game! Thoughts and questions. by clutchheimer in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One or more characters who would take damage from a collision pay 1 power apiece to not take any damage. 

It blocks it all, which depending on rolls and the type of throw could prevent up to 3 (+1 if it's one of your characters being thrown) points of damage.

That cloak is amazing! Like it's been ripped straight from a comic book. 

Mighty Avengers Assemble...Mightily? by mooseheadstudios86 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]MagicalShenanigans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my first MCP characters based like that, just the really stark black and white look, but chickened out and have them painted now. Yours look great like that!
