Ronan--Repaint

"Xandar, you stand accused!"
-Ronan, Guardians of the Galaxy

Ronan is a major player in Marvel comics, from tangoing with the Guardians to battling with the Fantastic Four to politicking with the Inhumans.

Unfortunately, I've managed to only actually read one comic with him in it. XD

But here he stands! The accuser of Hala in all his Kree glory!

Ronan and his magic ban hammer

The figure is a Heroclix Ronan figure from the Hammer of Thor set. I painted him the same color scheme the figure was prepainted in, which was the dual shades of green and then the tan, which in my opinion looks worlds better than the garish metallic green and yellow the character normally wears. I'm not sure which artist drew this character this way, but he had nice taste.

Look at the detail in that cape!

And as for the figure itself, I can see why people like sculpts from the hammer of thor set so much. This guy literally has as much detail as a metal miniature, and his pose is as dynamic as the Kree's accuser should be. If you can find one, definitely get one of these figures: the repaint opportunities are A-MAZ-ING.

This Guy is a BALL to play!

As someone only otherwise lightly acquainted with the character from one comic and from his brief appearance in Earth's Mightiest Heroes, I naturally hugged the GoTG side of the character pretty tight, using other Heroscape designs and the Wiki page as reference to keep him sort of comic loyal. I really enjoyed how he played: he's simple and strong. His large attack and defense are just straight up hulk-breaking fun, and the rejection mechanic of his Universal Weapon is absolutely wonderful!

He's easy and fun to play, and definitely one of my favorite bad guy characters (even out of the official options)

So what do you think? Is he a worthy opponent or does he stand accused? Sound off in the comments below!
