Watchmen Model Review for BMG

I recently finished painting my Watchmen figures for the Batman Miniature Game  from Knight Models  and am excited about the results. They have been in progress since sometime in June and have only gotten one game in so far, but let's just talk about the models this time. Rorschach was the first figure I completed. True to the movie, like all the Watchmen figures, he is a top-notch one piece model and was quick to finish. Nite Owl is a really dynamic single piece model who proved very each to paint. He's also my favourite character visually from the movie. The Comedian is where I stalled in my progress. Being largely black, it was a challenge to get enough colour and variation to be happy with.

I'm not sure why that's the case, but that's how it goes. These two models were in the 'months' range, along with a few others from the "SuperFigs"   line (for SuperSystem ) who've yet to see completion. While I was working on Hawkeye and Deadpool from Knight Models  I did a bit of work on these two as they shared some common colours. First up is the villain Adder. She's a member of one of the villain groups; I believe the League of Supervillains. I've got Blackbird and Saber Skull from the same team in the queue for this month. The next one is Mystick. She's a free agent according to the profiles from 3rd edition. I'll have to sit down and do some conversions of their profiles into 4th edition. I've done a few other conversions in the...
