So my friend has decided to run a Legendary Marvel Deckbuilding Games Organized Play event has his new opened store to help advertise his store and to show off the new X-men expansion for Legendary. As he is newish to the game itself and to running events, I have been tapped to help come up with the format. I myself haven't run any Upper Deck Organized Play events, but I have run and played in several other similar other events. For those who play I would like feedback to see if I missed anything, or if anything is unclear. I any one local (or semi-local) wants to play, let me know and I can post the information. The most important thing to my mind was to make sure that the scenarios were balanced but still allow the players to have agency and be able to show off their skill. As such, I have designed 3 scenarios (Scheme, Mastermind, Villains, and henchmen) and will be allowing the players to draft their own Heroes. Normally all of these factors are determined randomly, which can result in games that can range from simple to practically impossible. Since there will be exclusive cards up for grabs, I wanted to make it fair for everyone. Additionally, as the theme of this Organized Play event is the new X-men expansion, I restricted all choices where possible to the cards provided in that set. I also eliminated the "Driven Mad by Power- Phoenix" card from play as it will potentially break the game.

Fun weekend project. Had the Lily mini sitting around since Christmas waiting to be painted, got inspired by CashWiley's posting in the February challenge thread, and then spotted the air elemental at the FLGS on Friday. My first attempt at painting dark skin. C&C welcome.

With all the black on the model, contrasted by the stark white hair, this was very difficult to photograph. I need to dig up a good mid-grey backdrop for something like this. edit 12/15/13: new pics! Damn that speck of dust on the shoulder. I'll take another round of pics once I get a better backdrop. The blacks really do go right to Pure Black and the hair has some interesting blue shadows that are pretty much lost. I think I'm also hobbled a bit by my ancient camera, the dern thing is 8 years old now! I'm quite happy with how it came out overall. I feel my gold getting better, I'm starting to get a feel for where to lay in the highs and lows. A few stumbles here and there, but as usual I learned a lot painting this one. I think it does a pretty nice job at portraying Storm, too! [url=WIP]http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/47459-60129-chelaxian-infernal-binder-ororo/]WIP thread here
