There was some kind of obscure leak a while back suggesting 3 or 4 characters would have a special minion trait---Red Skull and SHIELD were on there so I'm guessing Hydra/Shield/Shadowland/something else would be part of this. Also guessing minions wouldn't be able to hold points and poo poo so I wonder what that will look like, especially since I assume minions will have like, less than 3 HP and like one attack. Either way it'll be a long time since the Hulkbuster/Ms Marvel stuff aint til next month and the X-Mens will be staggered out for the first 4 months of 2022. I'm mostly ok with some repeat/revisions.

Not wild about the idea of Minion models or whatever, but if they're very simply and tied to a hero model, I can probably deal. Also here's some stuff I've finished in the last month or so, in approximate chronological order. Really want to get all my wizards painted ASAP. They look super fun.

I don't really want minions at all but if we get them I hope they're like the Jonathan the Unstoppable card in the X-23 box where they're not "really" a character but they can do certain things. I feel like the action and turn economy is too tight in this game for something that's even swarmier than Sam Wilson Avengers.

I guess if they gave us like 3 ninjas with a dark Daredevil it'd be fine but I have zero interest using my time to paint Hydra or Shield mooks

This is total longshot here I know, but does anyone have a Dormammu that they haven't built yet? A friend of mine bought not 1 but TWO of them and they're both missing the same piece (back of the head) and since AMG's customer service is non-existent, it'd be easier to get someone to recast it.

I like how the 3 agents are on a single base---far better than having 3 separate ones all over a board. Wish they had dropped more info but I guess all those tactics cards provide some clues. Provided the leaks hold up, Dark Daredevil and the Hand should be pretty rad.

I love that the minions are on one base. No cluttering up the board with swarms of minis and no worrying about coherency. Also, I love the rope to nowhere, it's very cinematic.

I played my first game (well, against someone who wasn't me, though it was half a game) at my local game shop. The game's really fun, and I hope next time my opponent doesn't have to leave after only half and hour and we can play a full game. we used the starter game setup, with me playing team Cabal (Zemo, Doc Oct, Ultron, Crossbones and Red Skull), and my opponent team Avengers (Black Widdow, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Ironman and Zimo (replacing Spiderman)). Ultron got dazed in 2-3 rounds, but then crossbones (assisted by Red skull) socked his zemo , throwing him back and dazing him right as we ran out of time. My one minor gripe with the game is it feels like it throws a lot of options with special powers and power cards and remembering what your opponent can do, but better than being far too simple and just doing regular attacks. I like the energy gaining system which allowed you to do more interesting things from being hurt as a catchup mechanic. I'm probibly going to grab the Groot/Rocket expansion next time, just because i realy like those characters and I don't want to get the core set quite yet. Also, question: When it says you can place a character within 1 range, does that mean anywhere? Could I theortically sock someone back with crossbone's overpower ability, move behind them and then punch them back the way they came with the second attack (assuming I have 4 energy to do it)?

The way the action reads, if you roll a wild, you throw the model small before damage is dealt and then once the throw is resolved and the damage is dealt, you can then place Crossbones anywhere within 1 of the model you just attacked. Then do the same thing again if the power and dice allow.

Nice! If I hadn't stunned Zimo with the first throw I could have as a second action thrown them back to red skull who was waiting behind Crossbones.

I recently finished up my Convocation. I love how they look altogether, but now I'm thinking I should have done OSL on all of them, like I did Wong and Strange 1 awhile back.

I absolutely love how you did those bases---for too long I've just slathered semi-metallic colors and grays on those cracked sidewalks but that color looks fantastic. What's your secret for painting those?

What's your secret for painting those? Thanks! There's not much to it, really. Paint a basecoat of P3 Bastion Grey, then drybrush first with VGC Cold Grey then VGC Stonewall Grey. (Go pretty sparing with the last one.) P3 paints are getting distressingly hard to find, but you can substitute a different grey easily enough. It should be not particularly dark, and a more warm tone.

so, even though I don't have the core set (yet) I picked up the Rocket & Groot expansion (I'm hoping I'll have it ready to play with people have the core set in a week and a half). I looked up guides on painting and one suggested soaking in simple green. How necessary is that? I was planning on just spray priming it on the sprues, assemble and paint it. I'm more of a "table" ready style painter, and I don't worry about my figures looking super. I'm used to painting already assembled figures, so I'm not super used to doing sprue figures.

Yeah there's no way you need to do that. Plastic glue, undercoat, paint as normal.

smug jeebus posted:Are these used figures you got off eBay or new? I've only ever heard of SG being used to strip paint. If you're worried about mold release on the figs you can wash them in soap and water first but I've gone straight to spray primer for all of mine without any issues. It's new from my local game store. The person in the video said something about mold, but I wasn't sure if he was meaning like molding sprue/mold lines or not. Sounds like I don't need to.

They were probably talking about mold release agent, which is like a lubricant applied to pewter or resin models to help get them out of their molds after casting. It's not really a concern for plastic models.

I used to be overly paranoid about that, even washing all my GW plastics back when I played those. But I've never washed a MCP model, and never had an issue.

I didn't bother washing MCP stuff until I had an issue with Starlord. There was something on one of his arms that prevented primer from binding. Washed in Simple Green (more to remove the rest of the primer), scrubbed him clean, washed with warm water and dishsoap and then things were fine.

https://www.atomicmassgames.com/transmissions/introducing-grunts Henchmen rules work pretty much as you'd expect. Can only really have one "Grunt character" at once per team, so CP ain't gonna turn into a swarm game. Pretty sure Red Skull + Hydra is next but after that, not sure what other characters they'd do for this playstyle. Off the top of my head I'd love Superior Spidey/Octobots, Ultron/Bots, and for the far future Dr. Doom + Doombots is a must.

DLC Inc posted:https://www.atomicmassgames.com/transmissions/introducing-grunts "Sam spam" is about as swarmy as it can get, and that's typically around 7 models. Bumping it to 8 doesn't "feel" too bad, assuming that if I take 2 "parent" models, I only get to deploy 1 "Grunt".

they clarified on stream that you can only have 1 "grunt" on the table per side. so if you double up with Fury and Daredevil you have to decide between the two grunts which feels like a good middle ground

So I tried to play the Ultron Cosmic Threat on TTS to test out the game, but hit a bit of a wall w/ how to resolve the Doomsday Machine. It says to consult the Cosmic Threat player card for the effects of each result, but there's nothing in the Cosmic Threat assets in TTS or anything that I can find w/ some simple Google searches. Which is weird, because it does include the AI flowchart, rules reference etc. Is there something that comes in the Core Box that I need/am missing?

Recently decided to do something with my lovely older Venom that I previously painted badly a year ago. After some extensive greenstuff sculpting, hand surgery with leftover Carnage hands, and a full repaint, very happy with how this Toxin turned out.     Bonus image with his two dads
