A few days after saying they didn't know what was happening with shipping, AMG apparently had enough confidence to tweet this out so, crossing my fingers! https://twitter.com/atomicmassgames/status/1455205585281032194?s=20

doublepost bump for the latest update: The Criminal Syndicate fellas. Probably are already aware by now of the MODOK/Goblin changes but Kingpin/Bullseye are in here: https://www.atomicmassgames.com/transmissions/criminal-syndicate-updates Kingpin's throw was moved down from size 4 to 3. Bullseye's health went down from 5 to 4 / mental defense went down as well, but his overall Threat level is now a 2, moving him into the vaunted 2-Threat pantheon of affordable characters to bring along.

I got a core set for $50 yesterday, it's been sitting on the shelf at the LGS since it came out so my question is are the rules inside still the most up to date?

I think the most updated rules are on Atomic Mass’s website as a PDF. There are a bunch of stat card updates that are going to get the same treatment. Just got my box set used and it came with all the models assembled poorly and also a live roach in the packaging so that’s definitely affected some of my potential enjoyment.

In fact, the rules that come in the box aren't technically the complete rules. It's a "Learn to Play" guide that, while it covers *most* of the rules, the online PDF at AMG's website is the complete reference material. https://www.atomicmassgames.com/rules

Does it update frequently or could I rebel against my bosses by printing it out in full color on the company printer? Same question with stat cards

These are the first corrections in two years, it will probably be a long time before anything is reworked again. Went to a casual tournament the other day that's allowing all the new stuff. Guardians and ghost rider are the new hotness.

The new stat cards aren't fully released, but I'd be confident that they'll last for a while. The rulebook, well...I'd be less confident in. Depending on your definition of "frequently," I'd say printing is OK (as I think, *think* they'll likely make huge, impactful updates maybe 2x a year at most going forward) I'd say printing in black and white might be a better call if you need them printed.

the rulebook probably doesn't get updated too often but the Affiliation List gets updated probably every 3 to 4 months as they add more characters

Juggernaut, Colossus, Gambit stats leaked: https://imgur.com/a/6dxsCbq Juggernaut's wounded side losing his helmet, and thus his Mystical defense, is a wonderful detail. He looks just like the tank everyone thought he'd be. Colossus will be a great bruiser/bodyguard for the X-Men affiliation; basically a lesser Juggernaut. Juggernaut has a flat toughness trait to reduce anything by 1, whereas Colossus has "to minimum of 1." Gambit as a threat-3 character is just what you want: cheap ranged damage with potential splash explosives, plus a ridiculous carpetbomb attack. Add in his ability to ensure Wild rolls/charge up his attacks/has a Bullseye-esque parting shot for 2 power, and he's going to be a wickedly fun character to have on your team. Between him and Cyclops, gonna be a lot of reactive attacks made against attacking characters, plus they now have Colossus to play big bro for them. X-Men looking way cooler now.

I won my first game as X-Force vs Spider Foes. I was able to pump out a lot of damage and barely cling on while my opponent scored a lot of early points. I'm having a ton of fun with this game. tho my immediate problem was realizing I need to bring a bigger bag for terrain

Re-painted Sabretooth with more muted, grim colors and tinkered with Wolverine a little, using blood and battle-damage to mask some things i.e. splotches I couldn't iron out / a mask eyehole problem I just could not solve. Was beating my brain so hard about it that I forgot Wolverine is just a grimy rear end in a top hat likely constantly covered in viscera.

I still haven't gotten to play. The day I was going to go snag my core set from the LGS I got a positive covid test lol Having the two player games we won would have been great while spending ten days in the house. Looking forward to finally getting my copy Saturday. Is this something that can be played out of the box pushing bases around or do I need to assemble it?

Awesome looking at all of the pics, here's some of mine:    Thanks to Thirsty Dog for the Olivia Octavious idea; I tried to keep it a little fresh by using the Black Widow model (plus I really like the Captain Marvel sculpt and didn't want to ruin it!)

Never don't post all the cool painted stuff.  Len posted:I still haven't gotten to play. The day I was going to go snag my core set from the LGS I got a positive covid test lol I guess you could technically push bases around if you used a sharpie to write what each base represented if you really wanted to. But really there's a good bit of assembly. Unfortunately the core box represents their earliest product when they weren't experienced with sculpting/producing. They've gotten way better now but some of the core models have some fiddly pieces or are otherwise a pain to build. IIRC Cap and Zemo had tiny little easy to lose pieces. Captain Marvel's belt sash thing was a pain for me. I'm sure there's other things I'm forgetting. Fyrbrand fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Nov 23, 2021 |

You could play the same day. But no, not out-of-the-box unfortunately.

honestly it's a blast painting these models. the slightly bigger scale makes them easier to paint and the low model count means way less burnout anyone going to LVO next year?

I think the Dr. Voodoo / Hood pack is a pretty high benchmark in regards to quality of new sculpts. Really had fun putting my new Pro Acryl paints to the test with these----the red paints they put out are beautiful and the umber brown was perfect for the soft mottled quality of Hood's ratty bomber jacket. Hoping they do more 2-form characters and I'm praying for a Hobgoblin/Demogoblin 2-pack for Jason Macendale lol.

Did not expect X-23 and uh, Honey Badger for the game but hey, here they are https://twitter.com/atomicmassgames/status/1470801377937223683?s=20 Gotta say I'm disappointed with how boring they are, they look more like models from Infinity. Would have preferred the current "Girlverine" outfit X-23 has.

Finally getting around to assembling this box. Why the hell are these figures so fiddley? Who went "oh Zemo needs an elbow to glue on. This is a better system than just molding the elbow" I have ham hands and it is not going well

Get plastic cement. Trying to stick on Zemo's elbow pads with superglue is obnoxious beyond acceptability. The newer sculpts are definitely way better in terms of assembly, plus the look nicer too.

The more recent stuff tends to be better but bits are going to be parted out small if there's detail of a certain shape no matter what unless poses are changed, just a hard fact of how steel two part moulds work. Only recently got into MCP, haven't found the models particularly hard, even if some are fiddly, plastic glue fixes most issues. However Jean and her stupid psy-effect things 5-arms needed to hold in place job can go to hell and never come back.
