Marvel Villain Mission Force #1

Last night I ran the first issue of my BASH Villain Mission Force RPG. The player characters were recruited by the mysterious Facilitator to rescue a very special individual from Arcade's Murder World.

Set in 1985, Kim Jong-il had not yet come to power in the North Korea, but he was already a villainous sort by this point, so a group of North Korean expatriates and others pooled their resources to have him kidnapped and slain in Arcade's Murder World! So I needed a Kim Jon-il figure in 28mm, but where do you get that?

I had a spare Murch Pulp Figures Chinese gangster in my bits bin, so added some hair and sunglasses, and I had a decent facsimile of the future "dear leader."

Here he is!









In the end he was successfully rescued, and the VMF enjoyed a riotous victory on their inaugural mission. The team consisted of The Owl, Scorpion, Mr. Hyde, Ghost, and Hydro-Man, who was brimming with fun facts about water!

Rolling on the tables I'd made turned out to be a blast as well. I plan to run another session in a few weeks.

In the meantime, I'll show off more figures as I get them done. Here's the Scorpion:





Thanks for visiting!

  1. Sounds like fun. Your re-painted clix figures are very nice. What do you do to prep the figures?

    Thanks for sharing.

  2. Thanks, Chris! I clean the mold lines off with a hobby knife (Xacto Blade), then spray them with Tester's Dull Cote. That's it. I then paint them with a combo of GW Foundation, Foundry, craft store, and other paints. After painting, I seal them with Tester's.

    Hope this helps!

  3. Hasslefree Miniatures make Kim Jong Il but under a comedy name.

  5. Are you keeping them on the 'clix' base or re-basing them? They look like they are on new bases...?
