Marvel Crisis Protocol: Memorial Park Board

Crisis Protocol Logo

A few months back we had a conversation with Fantasy Flight Games about building a board to use with an upcoming release. We received a few guidelines

– 3’x3′
– 40mm scale. This translated to the height of Captain America’s eye being 40mm tall
-All terrain pieces must be destructible and easily removed from the board
-There would be an additional subway and rooftop board, and ideally we’d be able to have all three boards “connected” for narrative gameplay/missions/etc.

In rage at their betrayer, Isildur cursed them to wander the hills for all eternity until their oath was met. To this day, their oath has yet to be fulfilled…

I found these guys on ebay a few weeks back. There were 20 models plus the King of the Dead, who I haven’t painted up yet. This should bring the total number up to 52, which should make a decent ally detachment for War of the Ring or Kings of War.

Skaven Weapon Teams

A few of us have been playing Vermintide lately, a computer game similar to Left 4 Dead but with swarms of skaven instead of zombies. This got me thinking I should revisit some of my old Warhammer skaven. While I’m not sure how effective they are on the table, they certainly were fun to paint up.
