I have a few more repainted-n-rebased Heroclix figures for use in SuperSystem and possibly Batman Miniature Game.
Black Mask
This one was pretty quick and some of the work isn't really visible, but I know it's been done so...
- dry brushed the suit and head w/ dark grey
- painted neck to match skin on wrist
- painted the gun and briefcase
- went back in with pure black on shoes, gloves, pockets and lapels
- black wash on everything
- added traffic lines after a quick dry brush on the base to give a bit of 'pop'
Once he was finished it occurred to me that if I were to print out his card for BMG, I could actually field a Black Mask crew with Branden, some crooked cops and whichever generic henchmen I wanted. I've not used Branden and a few SWAT figures in a game yet so it could be worth a go.
Lex Luthor
I already have a Lex in a prison jumpsuit that was used in one of our games of Supersytem 4th edition. I've had the scientist outfit figure set aside for quite some time, and he'll be used in another game when we can arrange a time for it.
When I was touching up the paint work on this figure I was quite surprised at just how much detail is actually on it. There is stitching on the pants and some nice detailing on the straps and gubbins of his suit. I really didn't do much other than some washes on the main colours, a few small touches like the mouth, metals and red on the chest. I doubt it took me a half hour.

Lex is absolutely beside himself!

SMG and BMG are essentially the same game, but the Marvel one is a different beast. I'm sure it will be a good game, but it certainly fractures the community, as people who are fans of one are usually fans of both. Now they have to choose a game and it's not good in my eyes.
Collecting the BMG minis is very expensive, so I'm unlikely to branch out into Marvel with it being a different system that I can't integrate into BMG.
I do think that, should that happen, it would essentially be the death knell for BMG. Perhaps I'm just being pessimistic, but I don't see players wanting to restrict themselves to street level gang fights when you can play all out battles with heroes and villains. I could be wrong though.
