I really ought to start thinking of names for these characters I'm painting up. Blog post titles like "Uniformed Superteam" really don't have much snap and sizzle, eh?
Anyway, I've finished a new team for my growing collection of 15mm superheroes and villains. I wanted a uniformed team, inspired by the X-Men, Alpha Flight, etc. I wanted each character to be unique, bringing his/her/its own speciality to the team's combined strength.
One of the reasons I like collecting 15mm superheroes is the challenge of incorporating figures originally meant for other games and scales, in order to make a large and varied collection of heroes and villains.
This team consists of (links go to the relevant products):

Please forgive the quality of the photos. I took them quickly with my iPhone. I keep promising to get out my lightbox and take proper pictures, but time spent doing that is time I can't spend painting. My free time is very limited, and I'm afraid painting wins, at least for now. Once I get them based up, I'll set aside some time to photograph the whole collection to date.
Next up, some low- and un-powered types. Police officers (Rebel Minis terrific
Mall Cops pack), and an
armored villain with his gang of
uniformed thugs.
