Longing, Rusted, Seventeen, Daybreak, Furnace, Nine, Benign, Homecoming, One, Freight Car

 If those words mean nothing to you, then rest assured you're probably not a sleeper agent.

Marvel Crisis Protocol - Winter Solider Operative

(Although if you have been activated, and are waiting for instruction - let me know. I have some light housework for you).

The punching-bag of the MCU, James 'Bucky' Barnes has managed to hang in there to become a firm favourite. This model represents his second incarnation in the game - going from one of the worst models to a really cool version.

On the table, I'm not sure that the upgrade from a Threat 3 to a Threat 4 is worth the juice. They both have move-and-shoot playstyles, although the lesser Winter Solider has the advantage of shooting enemies out of activation. Ultimately, I think the biggest advantage of playing this Winter Solider is that he just looks so much better (and that's enough for me).

He also comes with a very characterful tactics card where he acts as a bodyguard in the 'bad guy' factions, to represent his brainwashing.

Lots of black in this character, although I broke it up a little by layering Thunderhawk Blue onto the uniform. The gun was Eshin Grey layered with Dawnstone, and Leadbelcher for all the metallics. The hair was Rhinox Hide base, layered with Balor Brown and washed with Agrax Earthshade.

Being something of a split personality, Bucky also belongs to a whopping six affiliations (ranging from Avengers to Hydra), which makes him the hardest-working man in the MCP.
